Those before us have fought for nothing and those after us will ask why we did nothing.



Wisconsin governor Scott Walker who like most republicans hate unions, and will do anything legal or not, to strip away collective bargaining rights from Wisconsin workers. The Republican Party has planned Walker's strategy in Wisconsin and they will try the illegal move all across America unless they are stopped. I support Wisconsin workers and their attempt to stop the assault on union labor and I support and applaud everyone who has stood tall and protested against these anti worker attacks. It is time that all middle class Americans stand up against the corporate rich in this country and bring prosperity back to the working men and women in this country. The middleclass worker has made America the richest nation in the world and unless we the middleclass stands up and fight for our rights against those who would take the very food from our mouths, those who would take away public education, those who would take away our healthcare, those who would take away our social security and those who will take away our way of life, those before us have fought for nothing and those after us will ask why we did nothing.

The International Commission for Labor Rights (ICLR) has sent notice to the Wisconsin legislature that their attempt to strip collective bargaining from labor is illegal, The ICLR is a group of international labor lawyers who protect labor rights through out the world with pro-bono services. The group has determined that the "freedom of association is a fundamental right and that collective bargaining is an essential element of freedom of association. A safety check against corporate power against workers as well as a check on state powers that may be detrimental to its working class.

The Republican attack on Wisconsin workers is just the beginning, if the republican party had its way every one across America would be working for less than $5.00 per hour and have no benefits. It is time that Americans take back America from the greedy republican run corporations and hold these gluttonous powers accountable for the demise of the American way of life. The republicans and their corporate friends are the reason that America is in a recession/depression as we speak. The only thing comparable to the greed of American corporations is that of a bunch of hungry hogs at a trough.

The America people need to take huge steps to stop the assault, the time is now while we have the momentum. If we need to protest, or give up a few days of work to make a point, than that is what we need to do. Because if we don't stop the Republicans in their tracks it will only get worse and it will be even harder to gain back what the Republicans and their corporate hacks have already stripped from the American workers.
