Has a push back finally started?

Has something finally started in the United States? The Wisconsin public employees are protesting Governor Scott Walker's proposed bill to remove their right to collective bargain. The 14 members of the Wisconsin state legislature are in hiding. The New York Times' Paul Krugman argues in this past weekend's OpEd that even if you disagree with unions, they are the only bastion committed to fighting for rights for the working and middle classes (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/21/opinion/21krugman.html?_r=1&src=me&ref=general).

People are protesting in Ohio. Here in NewJersey, the one of the largest unions in the state, the CWA, has announced a march for Friday in the state capital in support of the workers in Wisconsin. I am hoping we are beginning to reclaim our republic from the rich oligarchs who seek to enrich themselves further at the hands of the middle and working classes. I at least am watching it all closely.
