Workers World: People’s rebellion grows

[excerpt] A major rally organized by the Wisconsin AFL-CIO is scheduled for March 12. State mobilizing for this includes farmers who will drive their tractors to Madison. The day before students from Milwaukee’s Riverside High School and other schools will begin an 80-mile walk to Madison at 6 a.m., which is scheduled to arrive at the Capitol the next day for the rally.

The atmosphere in Madison is one of determination and unity, with signs of support in the windows of shops, restaurants and cafes. The blackboard in Ian’s Pizza lists all the many countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas whose people ordered pizza for the students and workers who took part in the occupation. Donations are coming in from all 50 U.S. states. Solidarity statements are pouring in to local unions, federations, students and community organizations.

What’s the next step? Discussions include reoccupying the Capitol building and/or a general strike. Many groups, including Bail Out the People Movement, got a good reception to leaflets supporting the latter. At the March 6 rally, state president of the Firefighters union Mahlon Mitchell — who participated in the 18-day Capitol occupation — got the crowd motivated with the chant: “You go, we go!”

“The blackboard in Ian’s Pizza lists all the many countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas whose people ordered pizza for the students and workers who took part in the occupation.”

So perhaps the students and workers should try to get their financial support from African nations or maybe South and Central America. Or better yet, maybe they can seek for asylum there.

“Donations are coming in from all 50 U.S. states.”

Well, good. Then maybe they will have the means to pay for the damages they have caused.

ROFLMAO!!! It says that they will BEGIN an 80 mile walk. Will they walk the whole way? I doubt it.

And on a side note, aren't the Government employees' actions showing all of us precisely why Government employees should not be allowed to unionize?
