I live in Madison, WI and have been actively involved in the protests. There is something incredible happening here and we need to capitalize on the momentum and name it, because this is a true grass roots movement that can be the progressive/liberal answer to the tea party. I have never posted a diary here before, so excuse in advance my lack of familiarity with the format. Info is flying fast and furious all around Wisconsin on facebook, twitter, etc...so now is the time to brand it and get the message out--people that I work with who are conservative or apathetic to politics are getting involved--on the side of the protesters! Cops and firefighters who are exempt from the bill are standing with us in solidarity as well as private unions, small business owners, parents whose kids education will be cut, etc....right now we have buy-in from over half the state, some republicans included. We need to turn this into a sustained national movement for the middle-class to fight back against tea party lies and corporate control-please post your ideas for what we can name this..I have heard "Main St. Party" "American Dream" floating around, you get the picture!
