The SEIU is estimating this at 70-100K people

please realize this is growing and this is also spreading. I know this is scary for some of you. I mean peasants revolting can be really scary. But this is our time to finally do something about this.

I realize that to some even here, they do buy the idea that unions are full of thugs... the thuggery we have seen so far includes cookies, milk and pizza delivery... I guess that is really dangerous thuggery.

Now here is the irony... not only did the tea bagers have to BUSS THEM IN. but they are doing this during a weekend... a right earned on worker's blood. Oh the irony...

Now me, better get lunch and all that.

9. cnn

third story down, and it's all about walker's statements in response.

msnbc. had to go to the USA tab, and it's - get this! - "Tea Party to rally for Wisconsin anti-union bill"

i mean, nothing, NOTHING about the fact that what is happening in WI for real. i am so fucking disgusted. i mean, i know it's not new, but this is a new low as far as i can tell.

this makes me sick. did ed schultz really need a weekend this week??

11. I hope this grows and goes well. I wish them Success!

We need stronger unions!

Unions have benefited all of us, and made this nation great. Far more of what is good about America came about because of the struggles of Unions than from any supposed benefit from the mega-companies that think they own and control America.

They strive to control America only so they can leech it and leech all of us as thoroughly as possible for the benefit of a few.

Unions strive to lead America towards our own common ideals of freedom, prosperity and happiness for Everyone. Unions believe that America does better if each and all of the the people in America are doing better, and unions work hard to make that happen not just in financial terms, but also in terms of safety, and also in terms of spreading respect and tolerance among all of us.

This means that the goals of Unions are not only more beneficial than those of companies, they are have more social depth and meaning than just money alone.
