As Scott Walker and his regime, with much of the local corporate media playing along, sends out its anti-democratic message that Wisconsin must 'prepare' for the protests of its citizens, it bears repeating that Wisconsin citizens will exercise their right to decide what manner of government and policy have their consent.
This is what democracy looks like. And it scares the hell of the Republicans and Koch brothers.
Democracy is not some obscure action for which Walker, Hopper and company must prepare by expending $millions and lining up 100s of police.
Democracy in a healthy society is what people ought to do ... often.
Wisconsin Constitution
Article 1, Section 1
"All people are born equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights; among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; to secure these rights, governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
