If you've been around the internet the last few days, you've heard about the amazing work progressives in Wisconsin are doing to STAND UP for the middle class and American citizen's right to collectively bargain. The unions built the American middle class and by seeking to destroy unions, Gov Walker and the GOP is seeking to destroy the American middle class (to the benefit of their base, 8-figure earning executives).

And if you happened to be reading the Cheddarsphere (as the Wisconsin blogosphere calls itself), than you knew first when this started happening and have watched all week as the protests grow and blossom with their outstanding coverage.

Let's highlight some of that coverage and give the Cheddarsphere their due in helping to keep the protests going and to make the story a national one.

Bloggers and activists just like you are working every day in their own communities to change the face of progressive politics. Grassroots organizing is happening in neighborhoods across the country, in states red, blue and on the fence.

And this year’s gathering at Netroots Nation will be the most energized yet. To help everyone get there, we're thrilled partner with Democracy for America to offer scholarships to bring some of those activists to Austin to network with fellow progressives just like them.

Activists across the country are changing the face of progressive politics. But even in the heat of a Presidential election year, progressives are working locally -- doing everything they can to take their country back from the bottom-up, even in the most historically conservative states. Texas progressives and the Texas blogosphere provide a great example of this kind of activism....
