1. A buddy of mine who lives in WI
is a teacher in a small district near Sheboygan and he texted me that voter turnout looks HEAVY even at this early hour. Methinks that bodes well for the Democrats and the anti walker/koch brothers people.
My friend has been involved in the recall efforts and isn't a Union Steward but is a contact for the state teacher's Union. ON WISCONSIN! Show the USA that it's time to peacefully fight back and win.

19. In a similar vein, "A Hot Time in the Old Town"
that's the one you hear after a Badgers TD.

24. On Wisconsin excellent choice; fitting Lyrics......
Edited on Tue Aug-09-11 03:41 PM by Fla Dem
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Plunge right through that line!
* Run the ball clear down the field,
* A touchdown sure this time. (U rah rah)
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Fight on for her fame
Fight! Fellows! - fight, fight, fight!
We'll win this game.

On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Stand up, Badgers, sing!
"Forward" is our driving spirit,
Loyal voices ring.
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Raise her glowing flame
Stand, Fellows, let us now
Salute her name!

3. Another Vote for "On Wisconsin"
I grew up next door in Illinois, but always thought the Badgers had the best fight song going. On, Wisconsin! Take back your state!

4. I really hope Sheila Harsdorf gets tossed out today.
Here's a song pretty much every Wisconsinite can agree on.

11. It's also Wisconsin's state song, with modified lyrics....
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Grand old Badger State!
We, your loyal sons and daughters,
Hail thee, good and great.
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Champion of the right,
"Forward", our motto,
God will give thee might!

All join in:

The Kissers: “Scotty, We’re Coming For You”

March 15th, 2011 View Comments

Madison’s own The Kissers have made a contribution to this ongoing movement with their wonderful music: “Scotty, We’re Coming For You“. Lyrics: http://www.rotundaville.us/2011/03/15/the-kissers-scott... /

First they came for the unions
Saying that you should have less
The companies need more, you people aren’t poor
Stop whining, buck up like the rest

And then they came for the children
Hard to believe but it’s true
Schools and good health might take from their wealth
So tell me what are you gonna do?
Scotty, we’re coming for you

I never knew how much I loved Wisconsin
Till I stood in the capitol dome
With signs on the walls, the drums in the halls
Cries of freedom shouting all night long

Everyone standing together
Teachers in green, cops in blue
Hundreds of thousands show people have power
So tell me what are we gonna do?
Scotty, we’re coming for you

For so long we’ve all been asking
How come people aren’t more upset?
They’re selling our clout, and tuning us out
They’re not treating us with respect

The giant has only been sleeping
Now the sun is shining on morning dew
And from under the sheets it came into the streets
So tell me what is it gonna do?
Scotty, we’re coming for you
Tell me what are you gonna do?
Scotty, we’re coming for you
Tell me what are we gonna do?
Scotty, we’re coming for you


Video from the steps of the Capitol in Madison:

27. how bout something with some punch?
Edited on Tue Aug-09-11 04:54 PM by jorno67
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql9T07tAVoU

For a price I'd do about anything
Except pull the trigger
For that I'd need a pretty good cause
Then I heard of Dr. X
The man with the cure
Just watch the television
Yeah, you'll see there's something going on

Got no love for politicians
Or that crazy scene in D.C.
It's just a power mad town
But the time is ripe for changes
There's a growing feeling
That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due

I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

I'm tired of all this bullshit
They keep selling me on T.V.
About the communist plan
And all the shady preachers
Begging for my cash
Swiss bank accounts while giving their
Secretaries the slam

They're all in Penthouse now
Or Playboy magazine, million dollar stories to tell
I guess Warhol wasn't wrong
Fame fifteen minutes long
Everyone's using everybody, making the sale

I used to think
That only America's way, way was right
But now the holy dollar rules everybody's lives
Gotta make a million doesn't matter who dies

Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through
