I am absolutely mesmirised by the upheavel in Wisconsin.
Tens of thousands of people from all walks of life, demonstrating, peacefully for workers rights.
Students supporting their teachers, College students standing up for their Professors.
Firemen, Policemen and State Patrol standing shoulder to shoulder with workers from all over the State.
One thing I don't see is.....Nationally known Democrats.
Dennis Kucinich......no where
Nancy Pelosi..... not here
The President of the United States...sitting on the fence playing both sides as equal.
None of these politicians would be in office, much less in leadership and absolutely never be elected President of the US with out the loyal, active Americans in our Unions.
I am ashamed, appalled and pissed.
I have a small cabinetshop. Iiworkl for a living. My hands get dirty. I am a real American.
I expect ALL Democrats to stand loudly and proudly with these brave people.
This should be the beginning of the end of the right wing push againsat the middle class.
It will be if Obama, Pelosi, Reid and ALL Dems stand up and be counted.
I certainly will be.
