I Hope the People of Wisconsin

keep up the pressure. I'd like the governor actually forced to step down. Ditto for those in Ohio, Florida, and New Jersey.

Hell, get rid of the governors in New York and Illinois, who subscribe to the same Friedmanite bullshit.

More about the protests in Wisconsin:

Officials ordered the closures of Madison’s public school system after 40 percent of teachers had called in before Wednesday morning to declare a sick day in order to attend the rally. Busloads of demonstrators continued to arrive in the capital from throughout the state. Near Milwaukee, a crowd estimated at 1,500 marched on Walker’s suburban home. About 1,000 high school students staged a walkout in the city of Appleton.

In an effort inspired by Egyptian demonstrators in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, dozens of workers and youth camped out in the Statehouse overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday. They have promised to continue the occupation until Walker’s bill is defeated.

It is anticipated that the protests will continue Thursday and Friday. Schools throughout the state are bracing for teacher absences and student walkouts. A large walkout of University of Wisconsin-Madison undergraduates and graduate students is expected Thursday.

I hope the workers don't back down. Apathy has always been this country's undoing.
