We are making history in Wisconsin and we aren’t stopping now! Union workers, non-union workers, students and activists have been joined by mothers, fathers, grandparents, children, war veterans and concerned citizens to raise their voice against Gov. Walker’s extreme plans for our state.
Plans that would limit the rights of workers, deprive our communities of needed services, harm our children’s education and hurt our state’s most vulnerable citizens.
Around the state there was been an incredible about of energy and activity as community members come together to take their government back.
Last Saturday in Madison thousands gathered at the Capitol to rally for worker rights and a just economy that works for all. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW), the Office and Professional Employees International Union (OPEIU) and Iraq War Veterans sponsored a rally that brought all walks of life together.
"I came here to march with my Machinist Brothers and Sisters to let the Governor know that he cannot continue his attacks on working families. We stand in solidarity with our public sector union Brothers and Sisters,” said Joe Nicosia, IAMAW Local Lodge 2110.
Around the state local events had tremendous turn out. We are not letting up!
Over the weekend there were rallies in Eau Claire, Evansville, Hayward, Horicon, Janesville, La Crosse, Madison, Milwaukee, Racine, Richland Center, Steven’s Point, Wauwatosa, Whitewater and Winneconne.
On Monday, informational Budget Town Halls were held in Green Bay, Milwaukee and Oregon.
U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore sponsored a town hall on the Federal budget with over 100 attendees. A town hall with Rep. John Richards had more than 400 concerned community members in attendance and a Milwaukee Public School Board Candidate Forum had around 200 participants.
There is no stopping this energy! Wisconsin is united to protect our democracy, our middle class and the rights of working people.

Now we all have the truth and it isn't pretty. The judge is a pure left wing supporter and biased supporter of the Unions! She now has been exposed and will be placed on the unemployment lines:
