Anybody here from Wisconsin? How's the struggle going over there? What do people demonstrating in Wisconsin hope to achieve (politicians to back off, Democrats to "do something", etc.)? Are they protesting solely against the potential cuts, or is there a sense that they are demonstrating for something more? Do they hope to just make the politicians back off, or do they want to push things beyond the current issue of unions' rights.

I ask this because, though I follow these situations closely, it's always nice to hear from those in the thick of it. Thanks in advance!
