It started in the Middle East, but here at home we're fighting our own battles with the force of the people. In Wisconsin the state legislature is very close to voting on a bill that would drastically limit, if not entirely eliminate collective-bargaining rights for state employees and curtail the rights of local-level government employees. And this, where unions and workers' rights were born?! The people are not having it. Check out coverage of the protests spreading to Ohio and Indiana here.
Not only did tens of thousands of people show up to speak against this anti union bill, all Democratic members of the legislature fled the statehouse so that a quorum could not be met and the bill could not be voted upon. Read more about police being dispatched to round up the Democrats here.
