STAND WITH WISCONSIN!!! PLEASE SIGN THIS OPEN LETTER!!!!

You go Egypt!!

Hello, Hello is anyone home, it's the injustice we hate injustice I am very proud of Wisconsin. United we stand, divided we fall.

ty again for sharing !!!!!

You're welcome Nancy! I liked this video and when you click on the link below the video there are more great pictures and anyone can sign on to stand with the people of WI. That's why I chose to post this. :)

One world one people stand for what you believe do it peaceful!

I am so proud of WI!

Thank you. :)

WI does know how to do it peacefully and that's why public opinion is behind us.

They offered. Walker said "NO"

Walker is doing exactly what his Masters(Kochs) told him to do

Perhaps you should enlighten us with the, "Truth." Your comments on this issue aren't constructive, provide no fact or source. It seems you have little idea as to what Collective Bargaining is, the process, and what it is they can and cannot do.

You really just don't know much about this issue, do you.

Liberal bullshit? And of course brought to you in a liberal news source?

What are you doing here? It doesn't seem you approve of our liberal news source. Move along! I certainly wouldn't go on a Republican site, if I weren't a Republican. I don't troll!

Liberal bullshit? You're fascist ass is all over these boards trying to spread your Fascist beliefs that have engraved in your head by faux news, the fat drug addict Rush(ing to the pharmacy), and the Fascist corporate assholes that pay your fascist ass to come on here and spread your fascism

by all means, please write something substantive.

how much are the Koched-up Bros paying to to spew your venom?

and of course brought to you in a liberal news source

Then why are you here?

Interesting photo.

Are you suggesting that teachers who have Masters and Doctorate degrees should get paid less than doctors and lawyers? What is a fair price to pay for teachers and law enforcement? Are you suggesting that Government employees are somehow lesser citizens?

$43,496 isn't a lot of money. In my opinion, they should get paid more. I got paid about $50,000 a year as an E-5 w/dependents in the Navy.

An O-1 gets paid about $50,000 a year and an O-1 is just a punk kid fresh out of college.

Your logic makes me sick.

You expect government workers to sacrifice, while giving tax breaks to corporations? Something is wrong with that picture. The people in your photograph didn't approve of giving tax breaks to the rich, within a month of the new governor, did they?

OMG! YOU ARE STILL TRYING TO SAY THAT HOW RIDICULOUS ARE YOU? I've called you out on this 3 times now. ITS NOT POSSIBLE! YOU'RE A PAID RIGHT WING SHILL THAT GOES ON EVERY POLITICAL DISCUSSION BOARD ON THE INTERNET AND SPREAD HIS BULLSHIT!

hindotka, ayipis or what ever other incarnation he comes up with can not be reasoned with. He just spams his silliness and runs away. His avatars are almost always racist so there is an easy hint that it is him.

what they should do, is pay people less to build our roads. that way i can enjoy some crappy roads like they do in, watchumacallit? oh yeah, third world countries.

You speak as though union laborers in Wisconsin don't pay taxes. I pay taxes and I'm fed up with cretins like you claiming to speak for me. Go back to your cave and suck on a teabag.

So, you're okay with corporate America's rape of the Treasury? You're okay with W's bailout of the Bankstas? You're okay with millions of American jobs being sent offshore? You're okay with tax cuts for the people who don't need them?

Did you EVER work? If you did, you should be thanking unions for the 5-day work week, overtime, child labor laws, vacation pay, sick leave and more.

Why DO you hate working people so much. Because YOU DO.

Underneath this logic, you should have been in favor of letting the Bush Tax cuts expire. Were you?

Oh I see your dumb ass Isn't trying to make up numbers today! You are a paid right wing shill! UNDER WORKED? YOUR ON HERE ALL DAY EVERYDAY, MAYBE ITS TIME YOU GET A LUCRATIVE JOB

Ah, those Bush tax cuts.
Obama will not be able to explain that one away.

And thank YOU for adding it HERE. Hope everyone watches!

You're welcome. I hope everyone watches, too. Alot of good history here about WI and how WI helped the nation.

Snowsttorm or not, Madison IS the eye of the pro-worker storm. Those teabaggers that the Koched-up Brothers are bussing in have NO ideadwhat they are walking into.

The anti-Vietnam War movement began in Madison in the 1960s. These folks know how to demonstrate and will not take kindly to paid demonstrators brought in by the Koched-up Brothers. The pro-worker demonstrators will eat the teabaggers ALIVE.

You got that right! These are seasoned protestors. No rent-a- scabs here! Let's send Dick Armey, Joe the Plumber (who's not really a plumber) and the Koch fiends a message. Let's party like it's the 1960's!

Your use of the term "bagger" indicates your tolerance.

Thank you and very well said.

Thank you. The time is always right to do what is right as Martin said. It is right to stand with the people in Wisconsin and now is the right time to do it!

Voted up! Kudos for saying it!

For united we stand, divided we fall!

letsliveinpeace - you are spot on. 150 years ago, Abe said it best as he has so often done,

“We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

Of course, Abe was talking about a different Union, and the battlefields were from actual wars, not labor struggles, but the sentiment is precisely what we need. Time and again, the predatory plutocrats and their political minions try to divide us against one another and sheer us like sheep. When the mystic chords vibrate with the touch of our better angels, we realize we are not grazing herbivores, but human beings, with the Spirit of 1776, a part of our heritage. In that moment of realization of who we are and where we come from, comes another epiphany - "United we soar! Divided we stall." As in the 1860's, 150 years later, the Union makes us strong!

Thank goodness for the MLK quote!!! Right???

Should it black? Brown? Rainbow? What's your point? I don't think you have one.

Rainbow would be nice, but it was just an observation, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it.

However, there was a point. The point was that it was a WHITE FIST!!!

Sorry!!!

I am assuming you are aware this county's history of the genocide, slavery, foreign invasions, mass slaughter, repression, and torture etc. It goes back quite a while.

and continues...

You raise a point, and you have a point. May I observe for my own part, "Deep in my heart, I do believe" that Black, White, Red, Yellow, and Brown, together, "we shall overcome one day!"

Let we here be dedicated to the unfinished work remaining before us and keep on with the keeping on!

I hope it back fires in their faces and more unions are created. Corporate America has benefited from the demise of past unions. They ship the jobs to other countries, while living the life of luxury in ours. If they want to ship our jobs to other countries for cheap labor, get the hell out, or pay to stay.

Political campaigns suck the life blood out of many corporations. They spend what would be profit to influence our elections, then take what should be reinvested as profit. Blame it on the poor? I don't think so!

Wow!

Not here! Glad to be a Minnesotan, gotta love having a governor here that does the right thing!

We need a reporter on the ground out there! lol

Ed Shultz has been reporting from Wisconsin since Wensday.

No cable. I've only seen one clip online from him. And I was talking more like Current member reporter lol. I'm ready to go to WI I just need somebody to meet me in Madison and show me around, etc.

Well here in Ohio we have the same fight going on, just not as large a protest yet.

I am.

I'm in northeast Ohio. Just got home from a dog food run at a store that only sells the premium organic stuff. Got to chatting with one of the ladies that works there on week-ends to help make ends meet. She's been a school teacher for 32 years and, like me, she was planning on retiring this year. Now, thanks to OUR Republican governor and legislature, she's about to lose her pension and any hope of retiring. A whole group of her co-workers are getting on a bus on Monday (school holiday) and heading to Columbus. She said they've all been inspired by what's happening in Madison. I'm still in tears thinking about what they're trying to do to tens of thousands of Ohioans just like her.

It is sad indeed. Many worked their entire careers confident they would be able to retire some day. I can't believe they now have to fight for the right to retire, after a career of teaching our children.

Do you realize our representatives get retirement for life, complete with health care after they leave office? These same individuals who are wanting to take away pensions and collective bargaining from teachers, fire fighters and police are guaranteed retirement and healthcare.

Leen61 is

I do love hearing that.... thanks for sharing, and some more tears from me to them.

My daughter-in-law, granddaughter and her husband are school teachers. They are worried about there pension, health care. It didn't take our new govener long to screw the people. The republicans that voted for him will pay for this wrong.

This WI resident thanks you for your words of solidarity! Great to hear from a IL resident. That means alot to me and all Wisconsinites! :)

The US does value its children, but the Corrupted Rich DON'T!

The Politicians are NOT representing the people, but the Corrupted Rich but are agents of The BANKERS.
THE ROTHCHILDS.

The Government of USA is an enemy entity which, turned on its people.

The media are on it. The media are in the hands of the handfull corporations. 4 corps in USA hold like 90% of the media.

We must stop asking agents of evil to bail us out of its very hand. We have to cut this hand OFF!

My parents are teachers... ;)

Pawel Kolasa

Oh how I miss his 'voice of reason'. Too bad indeed!

Too bad indeed!

Maybe he could even give money to the Dem candidates.

I'm shocked it's that high.

I think that we learned a lot from watching Egypt in the past few weeks. It's awakened us fromm our sedated state of "What can we do." We can change our country and take it back from the Rethugs and Teabaggers (isn't Walker a Teabagger?)who hate working people, the poor, the elderly and the needy.

Cutting spending is the best option. Raising taxes only gives more resources to those screwing us.

THIS ONE BY THE RIGHT WING PAID SHILL, IS JUST DOWNRIGHT DUMB READ WHAT YOU WROTE IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.

1. Raising taxes is not best option. The best option is to abolish Federal Reserve, which prints money and LENDS it to government at usury interest. Which is illegal in Constitution.

Please stop fighting which, of US ABUSED citizens should pay bigger RAKE to the thieving bankers.

Just get those bankers OUT of business!

2. Rotten Capitalists will of course demonize any labour movement, unions or otherwise.
Would you believe a THIEF's advice?

Media are capitalist tool. No dignity or integrity. Telling Americans how stupid they are and that they are only preoccupied in soaps, trailer park "reality" shows and softness of toiler paper tissue!

3. GROW UP AND GROW A SPINE! 14.5 billion is OWED to Americans from private corporation called deceptively Federal Reserve. It's neither Federal nor it's a Reserve, but a private bank, which illegally prints money and lends it to government in a PONZI SCHEME since 1913.

In 1910 USA debt was 1 billion. In 2010 it was 14 trillion.

This scheme is based on COMPOUND interest, and it's against Conservation of Engergy Law and MUST CRASH. It crashes NOW as we speak!
