Sometimes we have to stand up for others. If we don't, who will stand up for us? Today we stood up in support of the teachers, nurses, and all public employees of Wisconsin who are fighting for their rights.
It's funny... on our local news it was reported "Over 100 people gathered at the Capitol..." Wow! What an understatement! We counted close to 1000. Actually, the news spent almost no time covering the event.
It was a very calm rally, although it seemed like some were expecting violence. The bomb squad was there along with at least 25 police cars at the beginning.
I guess this guy could have bit somebody on the leg, but he was as peaceful as the rest of us!
This is the bottom line: If people lose the right to bargain, all they can do is beg. Wisconsin, please don't turn teachers and other public workers into beggars.

I'm so proud of you! Thank you for supporting what is just and right.
Way to go Stella!
Thanks! I didn't do anything more than tens of thousands around the country have been, but I have the feeling this may be just the beginning. :)
