Life or death for Democracy?
Agent of the Koch brothers, Governor Walker, is out of control. What he is attempting is clearly to usurp the people, the state of Wisconsin and its assets for the private gain of corporations. Realize that this IS a life and death struggle. If Wisconsin falls, we all fall.

I call for Democracy for the people. Not just some of the people, all the people. I call for the Constitution as belonging to all US citizens, not just some citizens.

What is the most effective nonviolent action we could take? What would resonate across the country? Will it have to be extreme?

MSM is controlled by the corporates. What would be exciting enough to get their attention? How entertaining can we make OUR reality show?

Would hunger strikes be effective in this country? What if it was thousands of people? What if it was hundreds of thousands across the country?

I believe it will take ten million US citizens taking to the streets to show solidarity with the Madison Movement. How fast can we marshall our nonviolent forces? How many of our friends can each of us recruit? It's going to have to be serious business. The recruiting. It's going to take boots on the ground to educate people as to what's happening.


We are not working alone. We are in solidarity. I don't have to do it all, you don't have to do it all. Each person in their own sphere of influence can help increase the total numbers up fast. It's time for the protests to go viral!
