Lady Forward inspires PolarBearWitness & friends 



































Dateline:  Wisconsin State Capitol Steps, Day 11, Thursday, February 24th, 2011

As a Polar Bear, of course, I'm into cool.  
And one of the coolest things for me up here at the capitol has been the people 
and the moments like this where we stand together 
on the staircase of history, 
inspired by ideals of democracy, 
embodied in this tall lady, 
who now guides us:  Forward!

Truly yours, for one more day, PolarBearWitness

Dateline: Madison State Capitol, Day 10, Wednesday, February 23, 2011

Didya hear the one about the Polar Bear that saved the Badger?  

No?  Well, to tellya the truth.  That's why I'm here.  A lotta people here say why they're here:  to save their worker's rights, the right to collectively bargain.  And that's a very important right.  It is one that is not allowed in autocratic countries, like Russia.  Will it be allowed in Wisconsin?  I think so.  Why do I say that?  Because I know badgers and they are some awesome critters you really don't want to mess with, even if you think you are some too-big (or small) for-your-britches kind of Putin-like Walker.
    
Why am I here?  I'm here to save the Badgers.  
On Wisconsin!
I'm the Polar Bear that's out to save Badgercare for the 750,000 Wisconsinites for whom it is, truly, a life line.
No foolin.
It's been a long day and a good day.  And tomorrow is one more day.
Truly yours, for one more day, PolarBearWitness
