We need to watch Wisconsin and follow their lead on the protests. |

They are getting people out to protest. They've even got high school/college kids protesting as well as the Super Bowl champs!

Hey I saw you message stating that your going to watch Wisconsin an follow their lead, I was at the protest today. My husband is vice pres of his AFSME union. Looks like their hitting any states where the Republicans are in charge. This is a concerted effort in states the Republicans control. Read the Bill ours is much more than just about the unions. These guys are also gutting Medicaid, privatizing government agencies. Use social Media, face book, twitter, email. If they do to you what they are trying to do to us they'll write in verbiage about absence for any kind of action being grounds for dismissal. I could go on but I gotta get some sleep to get out there again tomorrow. I'll try to put something together to tell you some of the stuff we have run into, watch out these guys are sneaky. We have overwhelming support from citizens to stop this bill, I fear that they are going to ignore us. But We are not going to give up this fight, in the end we'll get a recall going for the legislature and the governor unfortunately the governor can't be recalled for a year. Good Luck, Stay strong, We stand together.
Chris

2. Good luck! The bottom line is overwhelming them with sheer numbers. |

Last year teachers were successful by shutting down capital switchboards and blowing up email in boxes. This year we're going to have to take to the streets for the long haul like the Egyptians did in Tahrir Square. I stand with you, and all working Americans in this assault on the middle class. It's time for a world wide workers revolt. I'm not a communist but in a few ways, it seems Marx was right. There really IS a class war. They are winning but we've got the numbers on our side.
