I put on my old tie-dye shirt this morning so I can go to the solidarity rally downtown at noon.

We the people are being attacked on so many fronts it’s hard to know where to fight. The answer is we have to fight on all fronts and we have to be united.

Here in North Carolina, we don’t have the right of collective bargaining for public employees. I want things to move in the right direction in Wisconsin.

This is a “right-to-work” state, which means you really have no right to work. You can still be fired for being gay, or  or because the boss doesn’t ,like your face — or because you want to form a union.

For 30 years, big business and the politicians it owns have fought the unions, which are as important for organizing Democrats as the Koch Brothers and other fabulously wealthy business people are to the Republicans. If workers don’t have the union working for their interests, it’s easier to get people to vote against their own interests.

Unions in the private sector have been all but destroyed. Only 7 percent of workers belong to one.

Yes, they got corrupt at the top, but nowhere near as corrupt as Wall Street, and I don’t see that being busted up.

This is about taking power away from the people and consolidating it among only the wealthy. It is class warfare and it’s been going on since Ronald Reagan took office.

They say government is the problem, and it is for them. They don’t want anything interfering with their greed.
