We are seeing the death of democracy
My dear friends, I do not believe I have ever been as sad as I have been today. I have seen the videos of peaceful protesters being forcibly removed from the Capital. I weep for all those people, for everyone who is hurting because of this outrageous farce of the democratic process. It is truly a soul-crushing scene to see a women in a wheelchair being pushed out from the Rotunda, to see peaceful young men and women being dragged across the floor like common criminals. But we must not give up! We must stand together in unity against the oppression of Scott Walker. It is more imperative than ever that we rid the state of this accursed disease. My thoughts go to the protesters and to the many brave people who are as we speak defending their right to be heard. It seems that we are seeing the death of democracy, but we will see the birth of a revolution!

Unsettling
I have just received word that in a sudden move by the thugs in the Capitol, that they pulled a stunt that will live in infamy as one of the slimiest political moves I've ever had the misfortune to see. Scott Walker, hereby known as the Dictator, stripped the collective bargaining issues from the original bill and passed it as a separate bill, because they do not need a quorum if there is no money involved. Now I have heard a lot of things, like that the assembly still has to pass it, which won't happen until tomorrow morning. Another thing I've heard is that they needed to notify people of the vote happening tonight in order for it to be legal, which I don't think is as much a problem as another thing. If memory serves correct, but according to Wisconsin state law, this move had to have been called at least 24 hours before voting. Since this obviously didn't happen, there is a chance that they can't pass the bill because it was done without regard for the time constraint. Now some of you may be wondering why they decided to do this. If you click here, it will show you the true reason why they are doing this to the State of Wisconsin (although I don't know what is so shocking about it, we all kind of figured it out already). The Dictator has got to be stopped. My guess is that if you are not already down there protesting this monstrosity, there will be a big demonstration tomorrow. If you have the ability to make it, I strongly suggest that you do. As much as I want to, I cannot join you that day and be there to brave this tyranny face to face with you, but I must finish the job that I have started and continue to rally others to our cause with words. Please contact A United Wisconsin to Recall Scott Walker and sign the petition and I believe that they will be able to help with the coordination of the protests in the future. Please, even though our enemies are oblivious and not playing by the rules, please please please continue to show them that even in our outrage, we continue to be civil and non-violent. I know how you feel, I wouldn't mind socking the Dictator square in the face, but we will not win with fists of anger, but of freedom and liberty. We must squash this oligarchy before it has a chance to grow powerful. My thoughts go out to all of those out there protesting and everyone else in Wisconsin that are affected by this horrible event, but remember: The Revolution Starts Here!!

Making History!!
I apologize that this is such a late post, but on Saturday, Feb. 26th, I was at the biggest protest rally in the history of Wisconsin as of yet (I think tomorrow will probably outnumber the 10,000 brave protesters that were there.). It felt great to stand with my fellow Wisconsinites in fighting this horrendous bill and against the incompetence and tyranny that is Scott Walker. It's amazing to know that I am a part of my state's history. I am now known as "The Revolutionary" in my family :D Stand With Solidarity In the Face of Tyranny Wisconsin. THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately I cannot make it to the rallies tomorrow, but I hope that all the people who go in defense of our rights not only make it known to Scott Walker that he does not support the interests of our state, but also that they do remain peaceful, because that will continue to draw people to our cause. From what I have been told, their will be opposition protesters there as well, so keep that into consideration. Despite this disturbing news, we must remain non-violent. While we may be in the very pinnacle of revolution, we cannot do it with violence, because we need to show them that we are fighting for the good of our state and not just fighting.
