It has now gone viral...

[kentuck]

Nationwide.

Everybody thought the Governor and the Republicans in Wisconsin could not be trusted. Now they know it for a fact. No need to guess anymore.

It is no longer just about Wisconsin - it is about all of us. Few times in our lives have we seen such arrogant and hostile Machavellian acts directed toward the citizenry of any state.

The proverbial first shot has been fired...

1. No more pretense or being coy about it. They tipped their hand,

not that it was any surprise.

[RoccoR5955]

2. Which is why unionists and non unionists must band together and have a GENERAL STRIKE!

Shut down the country for two lousy days, and we will show the corporatists who runs this country: WE THE PEOPLE!

[kentuck]

3. Because it affects each and every one of us...

When there are no unions to keep the wages at a half-way decent level, the wages of everyone will drop. We will finally be able to compete within the new global economy...

[Initech]

4. Taking away our bargaining rights has also gone viral.

First Wisconsin, now Ohio, Florida, and Idaho have joined in the mix. The Teabaggers are fucking out of control, and the only way they can be dealt with is if we fight back.

5. Sadly, I walked into work this morning and no one had a clue.

Even our usually politically aware CFO had limited knowledge about what has been transpiring in Wisconsin. It's really disheartening.

9. That's the situation here, too.

If I participated in the strike, my office would still be fully staffed... And we're state employees. Nobody seems to care.

6. CNN will stil ignore it. n/t

7. No compromise-- ONLY SOLIDARITY.

This truly is a class war and we have to stand firm behind our beliefs.

We, the people, have to draw the line in the sand.

As the great Candidate Obama once said, "ENOUGH!"

That should be our motto.

[Jersey Devil]

19. Solidarity Forever

8. The future of America is at stake here and that's not

hyperbole. Everyone needs to participate in this fight in some way, or we can kiss the American middle class good bye forever (or at least for a very long time).

10. +1000 n/t

11. Can we discuss the "R" word now?

Because ONLY Revolution will focus the attention of the likes of the Koch Brothers and their bankster friends on Wall Street.

[JCMach1]

12. And only a Revolution can really make a difference...

-Abolish the electoral college and directly elect the President.
-Go to a one house legislature with proportional representation, or instant run-offs. Get rid of the Senate.
-Federal funding of election races. We can also limit the time people can campaign actively.
-Direct, non-partisan elections of the Supreme Court.
-Outlaw lobbying and ban the revolving door.

The list obviously can go on and on...

We can be more democratic !

[byronius]

18. Jeez what a beautiful list.

[logosoco]

13. Two weeks ago I told my sister who lives in Madison

that if the revolution is starting, we are coming up to her house.
We are heading up there tomorrow morning.

14. Thank God they cannot do math

They thought all the people that cared(and knew) about the fight for worker's rights were dead already.

[Barrett808]

15. Call it what it is: textbook fascism n/t

[Betty Karlson]

16. indeed n/t

17. Why does Walker hate Americans? Why does he hate the middle class so much?

Why is he in office to begin with?
Does he think he can stay in office after what he has pulled?

[Fire Walk With Me]

20. Their desire for power is total and systematic.

Kicking and recommending.
