I hope that networking is taking place
at all of these pro-union rallies. Time for the middle class and working class to organize their alternatives to the corporate economy. City Wisconsinites, it's time to establish some new economic links/markets with the farmers who are coming to town. Remember always follow the money.

2. What middle class???
I've read countless times on DU that the "middle class" is a dream.

3. Oh geesh, not another one.
I take it you haven't been paying attention? A strong middleclass was built in this country between the late 40 and mid 70's. Unions whose members of which some gave their lives for the benefits you enjoy today via your employer. Things like paid overtime, the 40 hour week and safe working conditions. Since St Ronnie busted the Air Traffic controller union, Republicans have been out to destroy unions since. If the strongest union in the nation is busted, then don't think for a minute that it won't affect your life.

You see, unions have set the standards for all corporations, that's why you get decent pay and benefits while having no union to protect you. You are what's called a "free rider" because you have the benefits of a union an you don't have to contribute to them.

You just sit and watch, if the repukes succeed at what they're doing don't come back here and cry about it.

5. Yes, with the first emphasis being
the recalls of the eight Republican State Senators who are now eligible. THAT has to be the first priority, because changing the balance of the State Senate is the only way we're going to stop them from completely destroying our state.

If you haven't already, please volunteer at:

http://wisconsinrecall.net/

and donate money at:

http://www.recalltherepublican8.com/

I'm sure the Senatorial recalls will roll right in to the recall of Walker, when we can start that later in the year. Then we'll be old pros at recalls!
