http://goo.gl/GNbJj Show Solidarity with Wisconsin! Join the Saturday rally to save the American Dream.





In Wisconsin and around our country, the American Dream is under attack.
Instead of creating much needed jobs, Conservatives are giving tax breaks to corporations and the very rich all while cutting funding for education, police, emergency response, and vital human services.
This is only the first battle in the right wing’s attempts to destroy the American Dream. We must stop it before it spreads to other states.
On Saturday, February 26, at noon local time, rallies will be organized in front of every statehouse and in every major city to stand in solidarity with the people of Wisconsin.
Show Solidarity with Wisconsin! Join the Saturday rally to save the American Dream.

Description Congress has been taken over by corporate lackeys who want to destroy the American dream. The American dream is about fairness and equal opportunity not bank rolling financial institutions with our tax dollars. I pay my taxes and you pay your taxes so why bail out financial institutions and then give them a pass on paying their taxes. The Supreme Court was wrong to give an institution the same rights as individuals and Congress is wrong to enact laws that allow financial institutions to not pay taxes. Now we have Republican governors treading on the rights of the middle class by attempting to take away our collective bargaining rights. Do not let them succeed.
We're standing up for the American Dream and saying that now is not the time to start slashing middle-class jobs in the middle of a recession, in Wisconsin, or anywhere in America. Be there to tell the politicians: Before you shut down the government and punish middle-class working Americans, why not first make the richest of

Hosted by Janine Melillo, Steve Mueller, Arlene Geiger
Description Calling all students, teachers, union members, workers, patriots, public servants, unemployed folks, progressives, and people of conscience:
In Wisconsin and around our country, the American Dream is under fierce attack. Instead of creating jobs, Republicans are giving tax breaks to corporations and the very rich and then cutting funding for education, police, emergency response and vital human services. The right to organize is on the chopping block. The American Dream is slipping out of reach for more and more Americans, and we have to fight back.
We call for emergency rallies in front of every state house this Saturday to stand in solidarity with the people of Wisconsin. We demand an end to the attacks on workers' rights and public services across the country. We demand investment, to create decent jobs for the millions of people who desperately want to work. And we demand that the rich and powerful pay their fair share.
After decades of stagnant wages and a crushing r

Description Join the Rally to Save the American Dream with workers and people of America standing in solidarity with the people of Wisconsin, refusing to accept cuts and rights hard fought and earned.
Steps we ask state and federal gov't to take:
*Make Wall Street and the super-rich pay their fair share.
*Reduce spending responsibly by cutting the real fat - like corporate welfare for military contractors, big agriculture and big oil.
*Protect the heart and soul of America - our teachers, nurses and first responders.
*Guarantee the health, safety and success of our children and communities by leaving the muscle and bone of America's communities intact.
*Maintain the American Way by treating employees with dignity and respecting their right to a seat at the bargaining table.
*Rebuild the middle class - and pathways into it - by fighting for a "made in America" innovation and manufacturing agenda, including trade and currency policies that honor American workers and entrepreneurs.
*Stand f
