You morons need to start thinking for yourselves and stop listening to your union bosses. Your nice pensions are costing the taxpayers to much. You will cause your own demise by demanding benefits that can not be sustained. Or put differently, you will destroy opportunities for the younger generations while you sit on your ass collecting your great pensions.
Let there be no doubt: The fight continues. The news trucks have largely left the Square but WE ARE STILL HERE and WE ARE WISCONSIN. Thanks for your support.
Glasshouse music: thanks from a lifelong Madison resident. Especially appropriate today as Walker and his wrecking ball Dynamic Duo the Fitzgeralds are going to slam through a budget bill that will take away collective bargaining rights. Word is Repubs will be amongst the demonstrators, pretending to be us, but will behave badly to draw media attention and make us look bad.
the single corniest, cheesiest, most obvious plug of a bunch of mediocre musicians at the expense of something that's going on 2 thousand miles away. Hate to be a debbie downer but what the hell is this?
I love this song, I hope that you guys will make some more jams as you know we are under attack and we so really need to have a fair economy!!! Its all about power to the people
Proud to be living in Oakland now...for the last 25 years...but proud to be from Wisconsin!! Born and raised and lived there for 50 years!! Union struggles are in my blood. Thank you for this great song Glasshouse!!
Great music, fabulous lyrics and a message we need to keep on passing on! Focusing on the April 5th vote and working on the recall signatures! We appreciate the support from Cali!
I love it. Maryland supports Wisconsin!. An injury to one is an injury to all! Wisconsin, you have been unbelievable in you fight for all hardworking middle class Americans. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
To the musicians and artists involved. THANK YOU! This reminds me of how fast CSN&Y got "Ohio" out capturing the support of the moment. To all of my fellow citizens fighting with dignity in the face of cowardice, RIGHT ON!! Each and every one of you do me proud! Much strength to you all!
This is wonderful! As a protester, I want to say Thank You, so much. Every word of support or act of solidarity allows each struggling protester to draw up that inspiration, motivation and certainty and carry on. Songs like this make me feel heard by someone and less alone in the fight. <3
Thank you so much for this. I have to admit, I was starting to feel a little tired and discouraged, but your song totally lifted my spirits and made me feel like there is hope in this world. Thank you Oakland! Hugs from Wisconsin!
This is so awesome. I am a proud Wisconsin teacher and forty-year rock musician/lyricist. You cats hit it beautifully with the words, and the singing and musicianship is stellar! The fact that you're from out of state makes it that much better, knowing that we here in Madison and beyond have allies from outside our borders. Bless you all.
Thank you for showing support in our efforts to protect democracy here in Wisconsin. It is an upward battle as we face against a state government that act as if they are above the law. Regardless of the amount of obstacles they place in front of us... in the end we will stand victorious!!
Would it be alright to use part of your lyrics as a rally sign?
Thanks for the song! We need all the help we can get. We are getting ready to vote April 5th. We are getting more organized. We are getting all recalls in order. We are staying strong. The police are giving out citations at the capitol for holding signs this week. Which is also a direct conflict of our Constitution rights. Do we want democracy! Yes! NO corporations running our country. Peace.
Thank you!! This is so nice!! It makes me a little teary! (Though our Wisconsin cows may take issue with using the term 'cattle' as if it is a bad thing ;)
This video really gets me going! I love love love it....It's so nice to know we've got support all over the country...Scott Walker will NOT take away our consitutional rights without a fight!
@PatriotWatchUSA Unions are what made it standard for workers to have a reasonable 40 hour work week and a minimum wage. They made child labor illegal and ensured safe working conditions for ALL workers. Without Unions, who can stand up for working people? Even private sector workers, like you, benefit from these labor standards. And don't you have anything better to do with your time than sit on this youtube page all day, hating on people who are just trying to support one another?
I'm sad for you. Your hate has blinded you to what makes this country so great. Of course we have horrible problems and we have done horrible things. I'm not blind to them. But we DO do some things right! And Social Security, (which isn't even close to being broke- all lies again) and Medicaid,Medicare,Public Education etc. are examples of what we have done right in our country (and yes I know they aren't perfect) but at least we try. I'm a teacher & we work so hard. . Why do you hate us?
Thank you Oakland! You hit it on the head! Walker's problem is not a budget deficit; but a moral one. Thanks to artists such as yourselves the people have awoken.
I beg you. You are so wrong. Have you ever considered that you might be wrong? And if you don't need any government - Are your parents living with you now? Everyone's used to. . . Has your house caught on fire? Have you been disabled? Can you buy insurance? This happens to people and the Government is what HELPS them! The thing that makes our country different, is that in America the Government is US! We are supposed to take care of each other.They have you voting against your own interests
@DeboeBJ Thats what happens when you vote for a guy who hates AMERICA> Oh my parents will be living with me due to Obama and his spending. Chances are great you will as well. The GOVERNMENT is NOT us. Wrong again. The American people would of never voted for OBAMACARE but we got it. The people would of never wanted to go into Libya and mureder civilians but we are a killing machine. I can rip you up more but why bother.
@PatriotWatchUSA Mr. or Ms. PatriotWatchUSA: You are an ideal example of what can go wrong when education is not respected. Your grammar and spelling are sad.
@vstasov Liberals are GREAT spellers but not s good at math & science. You are good at spelling at take your fellow citizens money. Other than that.....train wreck
@PatriotWatchUSA PatriotWatchUSA, I see that at age 13 you decided that education was not for you.
You cannot blame your teachers for your own lack of education, for your undeveloped communication skills, or for your difficulties with critical, analytical thinking.
It's never too late to learn more. I'm sure you could find a teacher who would be willing to help you.
@vstasov AWESOME insults. BREAKING News: 2 BILLION DOLLARS of BAIL OUT to PUBLIC SECTOR workers in OBAMACARE. To Be PAID out before 2012 election. GOOD JOB YOU FUCKIN BLOOD SUCKIN Varmit. Keep stealing from AMERICANS to pay for your retirement. WERE COMING TO GET YOU. Better start saving because it will NOT be there for most of you
Thank you SO MUCH! We in Madison are tired - I admit it! This song is just what we need. . . I will share this and sing it and love it as much as possible! Your words are so perfectly chosen and well said/sung. Seriously - THANK YOU! And know that because of you my boots are going on again and I'm going back to the Capitol now! SOLIDARITY IN MUSIC AND MESSAGE TOO!
You're looking at your navel while they march you off the cliff. . . They are taking away our rights and have no reason to doubt that people like you willl just driink the Koolaid and believe what fFox tells you. As a person who has seen FIRST HAND how they lie about what's happening here, believe me - You do not know what you are talking about. This is a PEACEFUL, prolonged popular movement to take back our country from the Corporations. EVERYONE is involved.
@DeboeBJ NO public unions sucking off my tit is involved. OH yeah and the communist are all over madison handing out literature to you fools. They would NEVER dare come to a Tea Party gathering. Americans go to Tea Party gatherings and they are not welcoming you capitalist. See where you are fucked up is IT IS YOUR GOVERNMENT selling you out not corporations. They play by the rules the GOVERNMENT sets up. They are there to protect you and DONT. Obama LOVES BIG Corporations. Hes your boy right?
@DeboeBJ No Im not Marching off a cliff. Unions and your government have you a slave. Im self made and dont get any hand outs from the people like you Public Union Thugs get. Keep picketing. I hope you win because if you do the state will colpase and you people will be fired and thats what we need IM TIRED OF PAYING YOUR REATIREMENT and taking from my family. Im a conservative with fire power and I dont like to be stolen from
@PatriotWatchUSA These comments are not true. Your facts are wrong. Look into it! Our state workers all pay into their retirement etc. Where are you geting this stuff?
@DeboeBJ YOU PAY LESS THAN 4% of your retirement. PERIOD. You are wrong or lying. Just about ANY publication has the facts. AND NO PROGRESSIVE SCIALIST I do not watc FOX so don't bother with your UNION response traitor
Wisconsin union workers don't pay a dime into retirement their entire lives, then retire at 60 and continue to get 95% of their pay until the day they die... until a bill was passed requiring them to earn what they get like every other American. What a deception to actually portray these people as "victims".
@thejmeister88 Your statement is simply untrue. We have contributed half of our pension contribution and have paid 10% of our salary for health insurance. And our pension is based on contributions and age of retirement like everyone else. You are not getting your information from reputable sources. Does that matter to you?
@bentleycj You do not pay half of your retirement that is bullshit. You pay less than 4% liar. WE ARE DONE BEING RAPPED BY YOU UNIONS> Unions are for themselves and NOT the wrokng man. The WorkingMan gets raped every time he uses unon labour or public service. PAY FOR OUR OWN RETIREMENT. WE the "PEOPLE" are done carrying you assholes for bad services
@okiejune obviously you dont have much going on either if you are commenting to me. This is what you offered.So you know I am right but you will stick with the communist. Were you one of the communist groups handing out literature in Wis?
@MsMollyBS We are bottom feeders YET you take our HARD earned dollar to pay for your lazy ass retirement. You take from me. I don't take from you. THAT IS OVER> THE "people" are done paying for the public sector raping us. IT IS OVER> Thank a liberal for being greedy
Yo liberals are economically challenged. KEEP SPENDING. KEEP taxing the PIGS. KEEP killing Americans and setting troop death records in Afghanistan. KEEP SPENDING the PEOPLES money. IVE GOT SILVER and you liberal beeotchis are maing me rich. Thanks VOTE DEMOCRATIC in 2012 if you support these unions and wat to see the United States collpase
@MrJGargery WOW thanks. I'll do a spell check next time. See I do not get my retirement from the "PEOPLE" I'm sitting here laughing at you progressives while I MAKE MONEY TO PAY FOR YOUR WARS and spending. Keep it up. You progressive Liberals are real good at spelling and not real good at math. What are you gonna do when there is NO DUMBOCRATS left in 2012?
@MrJGargery I wanted to be a teacher but when I was young I WORKED at a facility that housed teachers during their local strike. Teachers that were holding a strike meeting acted like fools. They were having a meeting on their future and they were yelling a screaming at each other. People who were currently teaching me were drunk and acting the fool. That day as a 13 year old I decided these werent people I could do well with. I would NEVER work under a union. I'm free.
@MrJGargery My sister and brother in-law are teachers. They vote Democratic STRICTLY for SELFISH reasons. We are at odds. Before the election I spelled out EXACTLY who Obama was. They did not believe it. TODAY they cannot even look at me. WHY? Because I was 100% correct. Obama is looking to collapse AMERICA. Plain and simple. He is using you teachers. THAT IS FUNNY TO ME. You will see soon the end result of the liberal action. Fannie & Freddie, Unions, Wall Street all to blame for this failure
@MrJGargery You tell me you are the teacher. He hates us. He wants an open society. There is no other RATIONAL explanation as to why he has done what he has done. example: HEALTH Care. MAJORITY didn't want it. IT DID NOTHING TO CURB cost. It was a take overin many areas. LIBYA- aiding terrorist to get rid of a terrorist. BOOTS on the ground soon. It is about spending money. COLLAPSE. Hope you are getting readyand NOT listening to these liberal fools.
@PatriotWatchUSA While I do not like the healthcare plan that came out of Congress, what is wrong with everyone in this country, regardless of economic status, having basic healthcare? How is this not a basic human right?
@MrJGargery Is food and water a basic right? Is a job a basic right? A house a basic right? We saw how the house as a basic right was handled and still suffering from that liberal right of passage
@PatriotWatchUSA Yes. Water, food, shelter, and an opportunity for a job are basic human rights. Are we nothing more than egocentric beings? Even wolves look out for their own. What is the point of life if life becomes nothing more than the survival of the strong? What does that look like? Not a very Wonderful Life.
@MrJGargery Ahh so the truth comes out. Be prepared to fight for your beliefs. Be careful at your union rallies because you are out numbered by the AMERICAN PEOPLE> This is America loser. MOVE or prepare to fight. It is coming soonand your GOD Obama wants us fighting each other and he will get it. You are a fool. LEARN YOUR HISTORY TEACHER. WHERE IS THE MONEY GONNA COME from to house, clothe, feed and give cell phones and cars to all you losers I thught teachers were to be smart. GoodSpeller. Ha
@MrJGargery See us Christians GIVE our time, money and energy to the poor. YOU LIBERALS STEAL I. I'm done with your stupid uneducated ass. Have a good day and enjoy collpasing a once great country. You can be anything yu want in America or use to be before Obama. Keep supporting the spending, the taxing and the abortions. Learn to control yourselves and STOP taking peoples hardearned dollar. Good day MARIST. You are the slave master
@MrJGargery It is better than stealing from people after they worked an honest day. I knew you would come back with that. Your response was liberal 101. Keep blamiong others for your failure. Because you became a teacher the rest of us should pay for your part time ass
Why should only the wealthy or Congress men and women, or those of us in unions that had the wherewithal to sacrifice our pay years ago in exchange for healthcare, or those who are fortunate to belong work for beneficent corporations be the only people with this basic humane right?
@MrJGargery What do you mean sacrafice your pay for healthcare? We all sacrafice our pay for healthcare. What does someone have to do with working for a corporation have to do with this? I don't and I have healthcare THAT I PAY FOR. Actualy my care went from $360.00 a month to over $700.00 because of OBAMACARE. So my doctor changed and my rates went up. PEOPLE GOT FREE CARE BEFORE OBAMACARE. Again wrong about all this. Good thing you can spell well
@PatriotWatchUSA Exactly the problem with this plan. A single payer plan that puts the money toward healthcare instead of the profits for wealthy insurance executives who do nothing to advance medicine or care would have been better. I pay for my healthcare, too! I and my union decided a long time ago to buy healthcare instead taking a higher salary. That is what I meant by sacrifice. You are blaming the wrong people. Follow the money. See who has it. Not teachers. Not unions.
@MrJGargery This is AmERICA move socialist. MOVE or prepare to fight which you WILL NOT WIN. You are out manned. We all take HEALTHCARE by TAKING A LOWER SALARY. You teachers are not special when it comes to that. WAKE UP. I don't care who has the money. It was your dumb ass that decide to teach for the wage offered. Now your crying. GO GET A JOB THAT PAYS or quit crying already. IT IS NOT YOUR MOENY. You can make as much as your spelling skill allows
@MrJGargery Every economist, not associated with a SCHOOL will tell you we are far from rock bottom and the worse is yet to come.It is called simple math. NOBUDGET from liberals. I love the MrObama thing. When he is required to show his paper work this election and cannot I will be demanding the death penalty. He has played you all like suckers. You will see soon.Keep that Bush excuse handy you liberals I am sure are not done using it yet. OBAMA setting troop death records in Afghanistan. HatesU
@MrJGargery I knew you would have nothing to say on subject. Keep stealing from the "working man." US teachers should be paid less based on PERFORMANCE. Keep spending. Keep taxing the rich pig. I have SILVER and you losers are making me rich.
@bentleycj Never blamed the wars on Democrats only the three you iberals started. Libya to support terrorist. The Muslim Brotherhood and Al Quada Obamas home boys. I blamed Democrats for setting US troop deaths in Afghanistan. Thats a fact. I know you wont look it up becase you are liberal
@MrJGargery Well dont get use to it and keep picketing you loser. Keep supporting failure. Keep SPENDING the peoples money. Keep taxing the PIGS. Ive got SILVER and you dumb ass teachers are making me rich. THANKS stooge. Your pocket before this country. WE ARE DONE PAYING FOR YOUR RETOREMENT loser. It is over. LEARN TO TEACH FIRST than ask for more. I bet you are one of the shitty teachers. BEGGING for more. IT IS OVER. I DONT HAVE ANY MORE MONEY FOR YOU. Cut your own way loser
@checkerstt Go Wisconsin workers? YOU MEAN GO PUBLIC UNIONS and RAPE the working man of his HARD earned dollar. Keep taking from the common man. IF WE WERE ALL UNION your Union job would mean dick when you pay $8.88 for a number 1 with cheese
Wisconsin is my home state and I wish I could join the crowds in this protest. As a union worker I think this governor has overstepped his bounds. I am glad to see the people have risen to fight back. Thanks to the Oakland musicians - they are my neighbors.
As a Madison native who no longer lives there (but my family does) this tribute is wonderful. I've marched on the Capitol many, many times.... we are all there with you now in heart and spirit.
@MsMollyBS You mean all you UNION thugs are with them. Thugs joining thugs. WOW how beautiful is that? STOP taking FROM MY pay CHECK and putting that money in your pocket. How do you sleep at night. FUCK UNIONS. UNIONS crush and rape the working man
@skydad777 You are 1/10th the population. You better be strong. As soon as you thugs beat up the wrong person or burn the wrong building you will be meet with such a force.
Wisconsin fights on!!!!

The people would of never wanted to go into Libya and mureder civilians but we are a killing machine. I can rip you up more but why bother.

@PatriotWatchUSA PatriotWatchUSA, I see that at age 13 you decided that education was not for you.
You cannot blame your teachers for your own lack of education, for your undeveloped communication skills, or for your difficulties with critical, analytical thinking.
It's never too late to learn more. I'm sure you could find a teacher who would be willing to help you.

Wisconsin union workers don't pay a dime into retirement their entire lives, then retire at 60 and continue to get 95% of their pay until the day they die... until a bill was passed requiring them to earn what they get like every other American. What a deception to actually portray these people as "victims".

Bottomfeeder teabaggers need to get jobs rather than spend their time bashing workers who sustain our democracy.

@MrJGargery I wanted to be a teacher but when I was young I WORKED at a facility that housed teachers during their local strike. Teachers that were holding a strike meeting acted like fools. They were having a meeting on their future and they were yelling a screaming at each other. People who were currently teaching me were drunk and acting the fool. That day as a 13 year old I decided these werent people I could do well with. I would NEVER work under a union. I'm free.

@MrJGargery My sister and brother in-law are teachers. They vote Democratic STRICTLY for SELFISH reasons. We are at odds. Before the election I spelled out EXACTLY who Obama was.

Why should only the wealthy or Congress men and women, or those of us in unions that had the wherewithal to sacrifice our pay years ago in exchange for healthcare, or those who are fortunate to belong work for beneficent corporations be the only people with this basic humane right?
MrJGargery 11 months ago
@MrJGargery What do you mean sacrafice your pay for healthcare? We all sacrafice our pay for healthcare. What does someone have to do with working for a corporation have to do with this? I don't and I have healthcare THAT I PAY FOR. Actualy my care went from $360.00 a month to over $700.00 because of OBAMACARE. So my doctor changed and my rates went up. PEOPLE GOT FREE CARE BEFORE OBAMACARE. Again wrong about all this. Good thing you can spell well
PatriotWatchUSA 11 months ago
@PatriotWatchUSA Exactly the problem with this plan. A single payer plan that puts the money toward healthcare instead of the profits for wealthy insurance executives who do nothing to advance medicine or care would have been better. I pay for my healthcare, too! I and my union decided a long time ago to buy healthcare instead taking a higher salary. That is what I meant by sacrifice. You are blaming the wrong people. Follow the money. See who has it. Not teachers. Not unions.
