One Year Goes Fast

Theo is now a year old. I've been doing the work I do for 9 years as of today.

A year has pasted since last writing.

Theo attended his first mass protest rally. Then his second. Then his third. Many people have been taking a lot of walks in Wisconsin to demand continued collective bargaining rights.

Wisconsin Republican State Senator Dale Schultz deserves much credit for not just following party instructions. Thank you Senator Schultz for standing up for the right to collectively bargaining. Thank you for appreciating history. Thank you for doing the right thing.

Thank you for recognizing the thousands of people in Senate District 17 that contacted you and spoke to you advocating for continued collective bargaining rights.

The incompetence and arrogance of Governor Walker's people is remarkable. Their attack on collective bargaining is being thwarted.

I am hopeful this will also lead to the continuation of BadgerCare, Senior Care and Wisconsin Family Care. These well run programs that make people's lives better than they could be caused individually are examples of good government.

The Wisconsinites of the 17th demonstrated how people can take action together to positively affect their lives.

In a year from now, after all our walking, hopefully we will have a Wisconsin Governor that wants a good government that helps people have a chance.

As much as I wanted to write about Bayer Pharmaceutical's problems with sterilization alcohol pads, that will have to wait.
