"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."
