I can't describe the pride I feel in my Midwestern roots and the brave, steadfast stand for basic middle class rights displayed by people all across my home state of Wisconsin.
As I watch this become a national story, I watch other states become emboldened. I remember this feeling. It was the 60's and there were issues of civil rights and an unjust war and discrimination. Funny...it seems that these are the same issues today...the right to organize, a war in Afghanistan that is draining our economy and discrimination that translates into the right wing war on the middle class and Unions.
Stand strong, Wisconsin. You are leading the rest of the country into what will become its salvation. On, Wisconsin, On, Wisconsin...grand old Badger State...you're proving your Badger status right now as you fight on. All I have left to say is "You Rah Rah...WISCONSIN!"
