Citing “Midnight Rules” to Erode Health and Safety, Nurses Unveil New Website to Send Bush Packing

As President Bush seeks to push through a flurry of new regulations, many of which will especially adversely impact healthcare services and workplace safety, the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee today unveiled a new website inviting web browsers to help "send Bush packing," www.SendBushPacking.com.

The site offers an interactive game highlighting some of the "midnight rules" – last minute regulatory changes – the Bush administration is seeking to cement in place in its waning days.

CNA/NNOC is inviting those who visit the SendBushPacking.com website and play the game to sign an online petition to Bush to "tell him to do no more harm and rescind the rules that undermine our healthcare, public protections, and workplace safety."

Healthcare, workplace safety, and environmental protections are major targets of the proposed rule changes, "many of which could seriously undermine access to care, workplace safety and workers' rights, and the environmental safeguards Americans depend on," said CNA/NNOC Executive Director Rose Ann DeMoro............

'She's a Neiman Marxist,' supporter says

What would you do with the $150,000 the Republican National Committee spent on Gov. Sarah Palin's wardrobe?

That's the question being asked the California Nurses Association, a liberal group that along with the National Nurses Organizing Committee has sponsored the website DressLikePalin.com.

$150,000, the nurses note, would outfit 15,000 RNs with scrubs.

"Spending $150,000 for a one month wardrobe while painting yourself as a 'hockey mom' or the voice of 'Joe Six Pack' is an insult," said CNA/NNOC Executive Director Rose Ann DeMoro in a release. "There's been a lot of talk about Marxists in this campaign, but the real Marxist is in the McCain camp – she's just a Neiman Marxist."........
