We Fight On

One day longer, one day stronger. Thank you for your dedication, hard work and solidarity in this fight -- a struggle which is far from over.

Though Walker was shielded with a flood of secret corporate cash, Wisconsin made its voice heard. While we came closer to recalling Walker than many expected, we ended up coming just short.

The work we did together was about much more than just this one election.

We laid the groundwork for a powerful movement to push back against extremist policies everywhere. Messages of solidarity and support have been pouring in from around the country and around the world. Our energy and momentum has inspired working people from all walks of life to stand together in solidarity in unprecedented ways.

We have marched together in the snow and the sleet. We have knocked doors and made phone calls in the rain and the sunshine. We are proud that we have created a new, energetic, broad-based movement for working people that is defying the odds.

A movement that will continue to change, grow and adapt to best represent all working people of Wisconsin.

Today we come together in solidarity and strength. So many of us poured our hearts and souls into this election and while we did not recall Scott Walker, we reclaimed the State Senate and proved that working people will stand up and fight for our rights.

Thank you immensely for all your efforts. I know thousands of you knocked doors, made phone calls, leafleted work sites, stamped postcards and talked with your family, friends and neighbors on the issues important to working people. Your efforts were not in vain. They provide the organization and grassroots infrastructure necessary to fight back against Citizens United and corporate power in politics.

We take great pride in the unprecedented grassroots effort that mobilized hundreds of thousands of people across the state in defense of economic justice. We look with hope toward a future in which the movement that we have created continues to resist the “divide and conquer” agenda that Scott Walker and his billionaire ideologue backers want to force on Wisconsin and America.

Though dark clouds may temporarily obscure the horizon, we stand together, united in solidarity.

I was immensely inspired by what you wrote. I admire the cause that you are fighting for, it seems that Wisconsin is united and you are very willing to fight for your principles. Thank you for being an inspiration to the rest of the country.

Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. Nevertheless think of if you added some great graphics or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this site could definitely be one of the most beneficial in its niche. Excellent blog! キャミソール激安 http://www.fashionjapan.org/キャミソール-japan-113.html

Hello there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about creating my own but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any points or suggestions? Thanks コーチ腕時計 http://www.coachnihon.com/

Paragraph writing is also a excitement, if you know after that you can write if not it is complicated to write.
