The Wisconsin Fourteen Honor Roll

For weeks, we have known them collectively as the "Wisconsin Fourteen," those 14 State Senators who left their homes and families, and left the state to deprive a proto-fascist governor of a quorum. Harassed, bullied, and threatened as no public servants in living memory, they have become true heroes in the struggle to preserve hard-won union rights.  Here are their names and faces:

Senator Tim Carpenter
Senator Spencer Coggs
Senator Timothy Cullen
Senator Jon Erpenbach
Senator Dave Hansen
Senator Jim Holperin
Senator Robert Jauch
Senator Chris Larson
Senator Julie Lassa
Senator Mark Miller
Senator Fred Risser
Senator Lena Taylor
Senator Kathleen Vinehout
Senator Robert Wirch

    Every working person in the entire country owes all of these heroes a huge debt of gratitude, and to hell with Scott Walker!

    Like other true heroes before them, they have sacrificed and risked much to stand up for what is right. They should be lauded for all they have done to forestall the corporate takeover of America. Hopefully this great fight will ccontinue until corporate influence and power plays are squashed.
