Looks like it's not over yet. Another judge has blocked the bill from passing until the specifics of how it was passed can be scrutinized.
I'm amazed at the people I'm seeing in the small towns around here, standing on street corners, asking people to sign recall petitions. What's amazing about it is that they're young people, little old ladies, middle aged men and everything in between. You don't see signs for Democrats, Republicans, Independents or Tea Baggers. This is a pretty diverse group of people that aren't just upset about union busting. It seems to be concerned citizens that are worried about all workers rights, education and local services.
You can be for these changes or against them, but it's refreshing to me to see so many people concerned about local and national politics.
I hear a lot of people on this site talk about how it doesn't matter what you think, the politicians are going to have their way and nothing will change that. I truly believe that what I'm seeing is proof that peoples voices can be heard and that it is important to stand up for what you believe in.
