Ian's Pizza

http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&num=10&hl=en&site=&source=hp&q=ian%27s+piza%2C+madison&aq=0l&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&psj=1&bav=on.1,or.&fp=b5fc6a07c812d0bf

is offering their most popular pizza - a 20" Mac'n'Cheese (how telling is that?) for $22, for delivery to the folks on site. The temp is twenty effing degrees.

They have canceled all of their regular business in order to serve Our People. They are handing out free slices to Our People, with a "line out to the sidewalk".

Be a part of this, no matter where you are.

My phone conversation with the front guy was priceless.

Be sure and tip. "Twenty dollars? Are you sure? Oh, man, thank you!"

Here I am, in Sonoma, doing what I can do.

The Revolution will be televised.

My PM to Hissyspit:

Let's keep it going.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=460129&mesg_id=460129

You have much more voice on DU than I could ever have.

This is beautiful, just call the number and listen to the message.

Let's keep it going.

I only ordered three, as Our People are beginning to disperse and the temp is in the 20's.

If this is still going tomorrow, I will buy forty pizzas for Our People.

Let's keep it going.

Now is the time and the time is ours.

Thank you, thank you...

[Hissyspit]

28. Macaroni And Cheese Pizza!

[Liberal_in_LA]

42. Food truck in LA serves mac&cheese grilled cheese sandwich

slice of mac&cheese between bread, grilled. Huge lines!

[LAGC]

54. EWW! Gross!

That's almost as bad as anchovies.

Guess it beats starving though.

:thumbsup:

[tinkerbell41]

3. Good job!!

I marched with them today. I have a feeling being a fellow unemployed construction worker, alot of those guys down there will be grateful.

[hlthe2b]

4. Can someone tell me where they are staying at night?

Are they all going into the capitol or are they going home or what? I'm sure they aren't allowed to camp out. ????

[tinkerbell41]

6. Sorry I dont know

I went home to Chicago. I will be back though.

[hlthe2b]

17. Good on you and others from neighboring states...

for going to support... Colorado is a bit too far, but like Sonoman, maybe I can help feed them.

Gawd, I hope they can hold out and win this struggle. Against the odds.... Maybe they don't have a tyrannical national government, like our Egyptian friends, but they certainly are dealing with an autocrat in the Governor's seat, a media that is in the pocket of the corporatocracy or simply too lazy/biased to figure out the story. Stay Strong, Wisconsonites.

[tinkerbell41]

20. Well i do know there will be buses from Chicago coming next week

An update on my Union Facebook page has just announced. The IBEW is coming. Somehow the tiger has been unleashed. Sometimes they are a little slow to wake up.

[htuttle]

9. The Capitol Rotunda has been home to many at night all week

There is a protester housing coordination plan of sorts going on at the information station in the Rotunda, and there are many others staying with friends in town. I wouldn't doubt that the hotels are getting full as well. Even Badger games aren't this big.

on edit: Of course, those who live here or nearby, which is a lot of the people, do just go home at night. Except for those who are staying at the Capitol.

[NYC_SKP]

5. K and R!

I'm going to post this on Twitter...

[unkachuck]

7. good on you, Sonoman....and Ian's Pizza!....n/t

[niyad]

8. k and r for this most excellent idea

[Release The Hounds]

10. You rock Sonoman

:toast:

[Sonoman]

16. We all rock, together, Hounds...

Sometimes, we just get a chance to be a part of something greater than the sum of the parts.

Sonoman

[dana_b]

11. I just ordered three also!!

the guy on the phone was great and they seemed overwhelmed but in a good way. Go Wisconsin!

[Sonoman]

38. Didn't it feel good?

The whole vibe is so positive.

I am ordering more in a few minutes (it is almost noon, here, so I imagine those folks could use some grub).

Keep your lamp trimmed and burnin'

[spooky3]

12. hey, hon, great idea--but I can't get your second link to work?

[Hissyspit]

13. Link to my original thread to which Sonoman is referring:

[spooky3]

14. thank you - sounds as if they have hands full tonight but

tomorrow or later this week I will call.

[Sonoman]

15. Fixed it, Thanks

[AlabamaLibrul]

18. "If this is still going tomorrow, I will buy forty pizzas for Our People."

Holy. Shit.

Sonoman, wow! I managed 2 plus a small tip with this crappy $50 Visa debit gift card thing, that you're supposed to be able to use "anywhere" (but never works for online purchases) that I got a while back.

[Sonoman]

21. What else can I do?

I don't have much, but I can help feed Our Own.

Sonoman

[jazzwinders]

19. Thank you for the information

I ordered pizza from Ians for the people in Madison.

[jazzwinders]

25. Thanks

Thank you to whoever gave me the heart.

[Ohio Joe]

22. Send Ian's Pizza a thank you note

Their email (not to be used for order's) is [email protected]

Give them a thanks!

[snappyturtle]

23. Done. Thanks for the link. nt

[elleng]

26. DONE

and received Thanks!

Dear Ellen,
Thank you! This has been (and continues to be) truly incredible.
We cannot believe the outpouring of generosity that we've seen in the past three days.
If you're ever in Madison, stop by for a slice -- it's on us!
Thanks again,
Staci

[snappyturtle]

27. I got the same thanks too! Wow! nt

[CTyankee]

37. Hi Ellen! I just called!

They were great to talk to! The guy really wanted to know where I was calling from. I didn't tell him we had connections in WI. I just said we'd read about what they were doing on a website.

I can't wait to tell my repub. brother in law who lives in Madison that I did this!

[Sonoman]

40. I told them exactly where I found it.

[spooky3]

48. I told them that too - he said "great" and thanks.

it gives you a good feeling to do something to show support both for the protesters and for a small business.

[elleng]

45. Would love to hear!

[CTyankee]

46. He's kinda in the minority in the family...so I guess he's hearing from them, too!

And, his step son-in-law is a union firefighter there! I can only imagine what they're telling him...

I also just did the Cornish pasties order from Myles Teddywedgers. The lady there was just delighted that I was calling all the way from New Haven, CT! I think they are genuinely thrilled that folks from all over are trying to help in this fashion...

[xmas74]

24. Passed the info on to a few coworkers.

We'll be sending probably by Tuesday-should still be going by donations will drop.

Also passed on info to a classmate who is a steward. She's calling people up and asking who wants to chip in some money over the next few days.

[Hissyspit]

29. Sunday Morning Kick nt

[Norrin Radd]

30. kr

[cali]

31. You frickin' rock!

[Sonoman]

41. Why, thank you ma'am...

If you can afford it, you should order one. I guarantee you that you will feel better for a long, long time.

Sonoman

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. I put it up on Facebook and sent out an email blast

Great idea.

When I was at Camp Casey, trucks pulled up nearly every day delivering things people were sending to Cindy. Bottled water, camping supplies, food, flowers, . . It was inspiring. I'll never forget it.

43. Way to go, O S.

Actually, I thought of you when I was placing my order last night. We even broke into a spontaneous "Look for the Union Label". My GF is from Milwaukee and they used to sing the song at half-time at HS football games.

Keep up the good work.

Sonoman

[Missy Vixen]

39. Thanks for sharing with those who need the help

It has to touch the hearts of those in that twenty degree weather that people all over the country support their efforts.

I think we might have $22 as well; I'll be making that phone call tomorrow morning!

Solidarity!

:woohoo:

[spooky3]

47. I just sent 3 plus tip - unfortunately they can send only their Mac & Cheese

pizza. I would have liked to have given the folks at the capitol another choice. But it's probably unmanageable for a small business to do anything other than what they are doing.

[Poboy]

44. .

[BobbyBoring]

49. My thanks go out to all!

To those of you that are non union that have stood in solidarity :toast:

To Those that have traveled long or short distances :toast:

To those that have found creative ways to show support in absentia :toast:

The importance of this movement can not be understated. This is the front line in the battle of the classes. I hate to use that term, but that's what it is, and we didn't start it. Will will finish it though and we will be victorious IF, we all stick together and take nothing for granted.

Remember people, we are up against a small group of tyrants that would not shed a tear if all of us dropped dead tomorrow. Well, not all, they would have to have a few left to "Serve" them but that's it.

The lines have been drawn~

50. Delivery employees "announce to hungry protesters who and where (pizzas) are from"

"For the out-of-state orders, which began Tuesday, Stratman said the restaurant takes the first name and location of the person placing the order so employees delivering the pizzas can announce to hungry protesters who and where they’re from. They’ve been received “very well,” Stratman said."

51. I love your phrase our people. makes me warm inside and smiley. We DO have

what the Egyptians have, and the history of social movements all over the world.

yeah for pizza! and people who buy pizza for others!

[lillypaddle]

52. Pizza for the masses!

Good on you Sonoman, and all the others who are keeping this going. This is way too cool! Power to the people!
