I just wanted to say how tickled I was to see large and growing crowds of people who have been actively pushing back against Republics’ attempts to deny workers the right to bargain collectively. What started in Wisconsin seems to be expanding to other nearby states that have also recently acquired Republic Governors. It’s been going so well that I think I smell a true movement developing. The thing is, now that folks are in the streets, the movement must be nurtured; we simply can’t let it stop. This is a matter of the survival of our whole way of life: if we can’t find ways to adapt to new conditions without leaving thousands upon thousands of our own citizens behind, if we can’t get ourselves out from under the thumbs of our newly discovered corporate overlords so that governing is once again by consent of the governed, if we can’t find a way to free our political representatives from their addiction to corporate concession cash for their political coffers, ours will be among the last generations to have lived in a free democratic society.
