"UNINTIMIDATED: Wisconsin Sings Truth to Power" is the compelling true story of the Solidarity Sing Along, the longest-running singing protest in history. Since March 11, 2011, opponents of Gov. Scott Walker and his extremist tea party agenda have been gathering in the Wisconsin Capitol in Madison from noon to 1 p.m. every weekday (over 700 straight to date call it Moral Monday through Friday). The singing protest came on the heels of huge rallies (one of at least 150,000 people) at the Capitol after Walker "dropped the bomb" (his words in secret to his Cabinet) that dealt a cowardly death blow to 50 years of collective bargaining for public workers. What followed, and still continues, were legislative assaults by the Republican majority on women, voters, teachers, renters, the poor and the working class in general. A powerful collection of photographs interwoven with an intensely personal essay written by a Sing Along participant, UNINTIMIDATED documents the courageous determination amid hundreds of arrests for the crime of singing truth to power in a public forum. The youngest person arrested and handcuffed was a girl of 14, the oldest a man of 85. Sadly, this has all flown under the radar of the purported "liberal" national media while the absentee governor runs for president. Walker, who purposely got married on Ronald Reagan's birthday, claims through his biographical ghost writer that he's unintimidated by protesters. UNINTIMIDATED shows readers who the real heroes are. As a citizen's banner draped on a marble Capitol balustrade says, "We'll be here until Wisconsin gets better." Proceeds from book sales go to the First Amendment Protection Fund to help defray court costs for these defenders of free speech.
