By attacking teachers, firefighters and police officers

[prolesunited]

the GOP has totally overplayed its hand. Christie even went as far to say police and firefighters are greedy. The very people who put their lives on the line are greedy?!?! You have to be kidding me. Do we really want a race to the bottom when public safety is at stake?

More importantly, I don't think the typical American will stand for such attacks. If you are in the working or lower to mid middle class, any one of these professions has long been looked on as a noble profession, a safe career that perhaps didn't pay the best but made up for it with good benefits and job security. These are the people in the community we look up to, that we tell our children to look up to. They are our family members and neighbors and an attack on them is an attack on us.

And whereas the tea party was an astroturf movement, we are seeing an actual grassroots uprising across the country. And the more the GOP attacks, the more the American people will dig in to protect their way of life.
