I'm not a Wisconsin resident, but hats off to you from CA for giving your heartfelt speech on the floor. If you were in California, I'd vote for ya! Best of luck.
Thank you. For some reason, the video of your actual speech has been removed from youtube. Is there a way it can be put back up? People need to see it.
Mr. Hintz is the type of Democrat we need in this current political atmosphere. One who shows high regard for the well being of his constituents and their best interest. It's time someone start beating back the Republican lies. Obama should take a page from Mr. Hintz play book. To bad we don't have more like him. Keep up the good work.
Tea partiers and union activists are both exercising democracy. Tea partiers are desperately fighting for the power of the rich, while unions are similarly struggling for the weak. The rich are richer than ever before in history, taking a greater share of the fruits of this nation than at any time since records began, while wages for workers have barely budged in 35 years. Its only guys like this who remind us of our souls. If we lose this battle, THERE WILL BE MORE. Thank you, Gordie.
Please run for higher office when you can, we need more people like you who actually remember why you are there and who you are serving. I dont know where along the way we as Americans lost that bond of understanding and compassion, even if we did not see certain issues in the same context. I dont understand why everything here in the US has to be black and white, left and right..what happened to the middle? are we so bombarded in everyday life that those with reason have no time 2 c the issues
Thank you for all that you have done! I watched your amazing speech and I am inspired by you. Keep up your amazing work! I am from Ashland and you have much support here! 300 people held a small rally of their own and I was working, otherwise I would have been in attendance! Don't stop fighting, because I know MANY teachers and my family is full of them, so I support your opposition to this bill and many of the like! Fight for all of us who can't speak our thoughts. The Truth is with you
I share Rep. Hinz's anger and frustration. The governor and republican majority have neither honesty nor integrity in carrying out the jobs they were elected to do.
i just saw the video of you TEARING IT UP on the house floor giving a big reality check to the RepubliCAN'TS - wow! you sir, are a man above others & a truly worthy rep for the "PEOPLE" of WI (not the corps that the GOP serve)
as a "person", i salute & commend your noble efforts & strong stand for what is right. FIGHT THE POWER!
Sending you much love & respect from NEW YORK CITY.
i just saw the video of you tearing it up on the floor giving the RepubliCAN'Ts heck! you sir are a worthy representative of WI & i salute & commend your strong stance on behalf of "WE THE PEOPLE".
sending you love & respect from NEW YORK CITY! i'm with you in spirit.
We appreciate your dedication, but we also need to brainstorm on how to get the at-fault repubs to understand what the good fight is, and open our arms to embrace them should they come back to our citizens and take the side of democracy.
Thank you! What was done here last night was a crime.
