4. If I can.. I will donate too
If Wisconsin fails, then the Democratic party will fail in the end. We can't let this happen.

5. I'm bracing myself.
They could lose a few rounds up there and in other places. They are up against a lot of outside money and a biased media. There are some powerful odds against them.

In the long run, they will win. And I don't think all those students who are seeing their teachers treated badly will ever vote for a repub in their lives.

6. We all can. Even if it's only a penny. The numbers in solidarity count as much as the amount.
They are risking everything. When I went on strike I lost my job, my apartment, and my health insurance. If it wasn't for the strike fund, I would have starved and gone homeless. Even a penny.
