Thank you all - Thank you, EVERYONE!

[CLANG]

As someone born in Madison in 1954, I am getting increasingly Verklepmt over the support shown by DU, and people all over the country, and yes, even worldwide.

I couldn't bear it if Wisconsin were to drop the ball on this, as it would be a death knell for all the progressive changes over the last 100 years in support of middle and lower income Americans.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

Love from Wisconsin!!

3. Clang, I was born in Ripon, WI and attended university in Wi -

(Madison), and with the number of other students going through that school I would daresay we've got Wisconsinites all over the world. And in fact many who have never even stepped foot in the state are hanging tough with us - it is wonderful isn't it! Unions, YES.

[CLANG]

5. People attend UW-Madison from all over the world

Yes, it is wonderful!!

[TBF]

14. True - I lived in a house my last year with a bunch of foreign

students who attended the Vet school. Apparently it was very tough to get into. They were great housemates! The diversity of the school overall is one of the best features.

Not such a lovely little town anymore. Got hit pretty hard by the factory closings and job losses.

18. Love from Florida...please remember us when this NUTBAG Gov. we have turns the tanks on us !!!

[Aerows]

19. I lived in Florida

and have live along the Gulf Coast my entire life. If your nutbag gov turns the tanks on you, he will be turning them on all Gulf Coast residents. We haven't forgotten how Andrew survivors stood with us Katrina survivors.

Irritating the independent, self-reliant residents of the coast is a very bad thing to do.

[CLANG]

21. Don't worry - we're all in this together.

:fistbump:

[Ikonoklast]

22. The Buckeye State stands with its fellow Big Ten member Wisconsin.

Thank you, Mira!

[bdamomma]

26. keep fighting, don't give up!!

DU is with you guys on this, if this does not get stopped it will go nation wide. They are trying to bust the unions.

[snappyturtle]

28. Wisconsin is EVERYONES' battleground.....I hope you guys can keep

up the fantastic job you're doing. For the rest of us, I guess all we can do is support you in the besst ways we can. ON Wisconsin!
:woohoo:

29. Born there in 1949, grew up there, went to school there, my Mom's still there

and she is 95, a former shop steward for AFSCME as a clerk in DILHR, and currenly resides 2 blocks from the square in a facility that is on the same block she was born and raised herself, the 300 block of W. Doty St.

I left Wisconsin many moons ago for warmer climes on the West Coast, but I stand behind my Mom, cousins, sisters, half-sister, brother, late uncles, late aunts, late cousins that were all union members/officials in Wisconsin. They lived through the depression and started these unions in the 30s there. Wisconsin has always been progressive. Go Badgers!

My ancestors are dancing a jig up there right now, cheering on the state workers.



Hands off my Social Security!
Hands off Latin America!
