Last Wednesday morning, I awoke to find a long, detailed e-mail from my mother, now in her seventies, in which she described arriving home from the Wisconsin State Capitol, in Madison, at one in the morning. She had waited, with my sister and hundreds of others, to testify before the State Senate?s Joint Finance Committee and register her opposition to the proposal by Governor Scott Walker, a Republican elected in November, to eliminate most collective-bargaining rights for state employees.
