Even though I left Wisconsin two years ago, I can't contain the pride I feel at what my former compatriots have already accomplished. I'm a former member of the union that spearheaded the early protests, and seeing many of my friends at the center of all this is just awe-inspiring.
Sadly, I have little to offer the cause but moral support, money and constant chatter on Facebook. But with the first elections tomorrow, I was inspired to repurpose this pre-protest anthem by Madison's own Locksley. I've broken a personal rule and allowed myself to get excited and optimistic about these recalls (and the Walker recall, too), but I really believe my state is up to the challenge.
