Isn't it ironic ...
that at a period when the whole world is breaking out in revolution to fight for democracy and rights -- America's elected officials are moving to massively abolish rights for Americans.

1. Let us hope
(and work toward such a result) that their timing proves to be particularly awful for them.

3. All of America's elected officials are doing that?
Rather broad-brush, no?

5. I didn't say that. But many elected officials are trying to do this.

7. Point taken but my edit time has expired so it will stand as is.

4. Good timing
The rest of the world is inspiring us - Egyptians are ordering pizza for the protesters in Wisconsin, and it's clear that the college students there have learned a lot from the Tunisians and Egyptians.

Like the creator of this video (http://vimeo.com/20089255">Wisconsin Protest) says in replies to the comments:

"For those of you who are about to fight the same fight, use us as an example. Be peaceful. Use your voices, not your fists. Be there every day in force. Do not back down."

We are connected, and we are learning from and inspiring each other. Let them move to abolish our rights. We will fight back. :)
