00:44 - The eyes of the nation were on the political firestorm

00:47 in Wisconsin late last winter,

00:49 when Republican Governor Scott Walker

00:51 took on the labor union,

00:52 representing the state's public employees.

00:55 - What we're doing here in Wisconsin

00:56 is leading the way with a better alternative.

00:59 - Governor, we can hear thousands of people

01:01 in the halls screaming, "Shame, shame, shame."

01:03 We can hear that in your office right now.

01:05 Can you respond to that?

01:06 - Sure.

01:07 I've said every day since I introduced this a month ago,

01:11 that the protesters who are here and around the Capitol,

01:14 at least those from Wisconsin,

01:15 increasingly there are more and more from other states,

01:17 but those from Wisconsin have every right to be here.

01:20 - This is a total attack.

01:23 This is the killing of a generation of people.

01:26 - We encouraged our kids to go

01:27 into these honorable professions,

01:30 and now they're getting screwed for it.

01:32 - We're not gonna let just one man

01:37 and one set of politicians come in

01:40 and change everything that we've been working on for so long.

01:43 - Let her go! Let her go!

01:45 Let her go! Let her go!

01:48 - They're not providing a labor law!

01:53 - Walk in! You have every right!

02:00 Walk in!

02:06 - It's a terrible assault on labor or work in general.

02:10 - If this goes through and it starts there,

02:12 it's just the beginning of the end

02:14 for any of the unions across the states.

02:17 - Walking away from teaching is like saying,

02:23 "Don't be who you are anymore."

02:25 And, you know, that's not a fair thing to say to somebody.

02:30 I don't think that's fair at all.

02:32 - This is not just a union fight,

02:33 but it's a middle-class fight,

02:35 and we need all hands working,

02:36 as we say in the fire service.

02:39 - We've had a complete breakdown

02:43 of the democratic process here in Wisconsin.

02:47 - It's the system that needs to be recalled.

02:51 It's the system that needs to be taken down and transformed.

02:54 It's the system that needs to be upended.

02:58 - Their vision of democracy is very, very different than ours

03:01 and people really have to pay attention to this

03:03 and start bird-docking these institutions,

03:06 these legislators, these corporations,

03:08 and taking back their democracy.

03:12 - You have aroused a sleeping giant

03:14 known as the working people of the United States of America.

03:20 Medicine is only the beginning.
