The Wisconsin State Supreme Court last night has overturned a lower court decision and it is now illegal for Wisconsinite public workers to collectively bargain. This is a detrimental blow to the working middle class of Wisconsin and potentially to the working middle class of the entire country. However this can also be used as a positive. We can use this to open our eyes and realize we all must get involved. Remember we have power in numbers.

If you do not want this to happen here you must call your representatives and tell them to oppose the proposed bill which makes it illegal to negotiate over health benefits or you will not vote for them next election. Have everyone you know do the same. If we do not tell our representatives what we want, they will do what they think we want, or what will help them the most. If you know your Reps name and need a phone number, ask me for it. If you don't know who your Reps are call 888-875-6558 and punch in your zip code and you will be connected.

Also, we will be meeting at the Masonic Temple on Barrak Street downtown at 9:00 AM on 6/16/11 to coordinate for a rally in front of the State House at 10:00 AM. We are going to be joined by other Unions, the teachers, local fire and police and others. If you cannot take off the whole day, try to take a few hours and come down for lunch. We need to show a huge presence to show these politicians we mean business. Don't forget to wear red.

We can no longer sit back and let others do the work. It is time to stand up for our rights. This is the bottom of the ninth with two outs. We are the last batter. Let's hit one out of the park and win this game

" All we are saying is give peace a chance" OOPS wrong rally (1.00 / 1)

It is estimated that less than 2% of all government workers union members will show up in Trenton on Thusday.

Flash mobs get better responses!

Are the members telling the leadership something?

Yeah, they have to work (3.00 / 1)

At 9:00 a.m. And can register their response by phone.

You really don't seem to understand, or more likely don't care, that you are destroying the Democratic party in this state. Then again, you're a Republican who is probably masturbating to a picture of Scott Walker as we speak.
