Please join me in thanking the Democrats of Wisconsin [View all]

You showed America that the 99% still have a fight in us.

You organized and were magnificent.

And you worked. And worked. And worked.

We didn't win this one - but we will work together to be better and smarter, and we will win next time!

UPDATE: You guys won the Senate!

At least Walker's neutered now, so it's a win in WI if not a sweep. Great job!
