On Sunday I wish I could have been in Park Falls, where 150 hardy folks stood in the cold to oppose Gov. Scott Walker’s union-busting plan, but you can’t be everywhere. “ Mill workers, teachers, just plain citizens were there raising their voices,” reports John Smart.  Among the other good places to be over the weekend were the Square, Monona Terrace and Mazomanie. 

In Mazomanie you would have had chills as the people rose to their feet in praise of the “Badger 14.”  They passed the bucket to help 14 politicians carry the fight on their backs.  It was a wonderful moment. 

On Saturday 50,000 to 60,000 (or was it 90,000, as NBC reported?)  marched and chanted around Madison’s Square to oppose Walker’s budget repair bill.  Walker has lost the respect that most elected officials keep for a year or more.  Walker? “ When can we start the recall?”  is the FAQ. 

I was overwhelmed on Sunday by teachers who filled the largest hall in Monona Terrace to keep the support growing.  Small groups, large crowds, thousands of our brothers and sisters believe in the cause.  They get it.  They reject corporate rule. “ Save our state -- protect our rights!” 

Calls are coming from all over the country -- renewed friendships -- all in support of workers!
