alizations that just aren't true. I've heard him say that recipients are liars, need help with communication skills, they don't know how to work, and they don't know how to be on time.
Welfare reform will not work until these untruths are buried.  It is these    untrue statements that keep my passion burning.  Until these misconceptions are vanished I will not rest.  I will keep on telling my story and that of others in front of the legislature, to the media and anyone else that will listen. Beating me down and the people that I believe in will not make me go away it will just make me stronger. Thank you Hank for not letting me forget who and what I am.  A single mother, a  student, welfare recipient and an advocate for low income people.

WEEL members Rebecca Moog,
Susan Kidd, and Bonnie Shamborn,  will be
featured on the feminist weekly radio
program "In Other Words" on Montana Public Radio, KUFM-- 89.1 FM.  The program will air Thursday November 12, 1998 at 9:30 PM. 
Jane Ragsdale, the producer of the show is an active member of Montana League of Women Voters.  According to Ms. Ragsdale the topic of the program "the troubles, and occasional triumphs -- of the "working poor", is of special interest to women, because so great a proportion of those who are working full-time, but are still poor, are women."
Congratulations to Rebecca, Bonnie and Susan on their radio debuts!!
