This statement is often misquoted -- especially by the right wing, who like to insert themselves into it -- but here's the real thing.
And I want you to pay special attention to the 2nd stanza, and think about the Governor's threat to collective bargaining in Wisconsin:
First They came... - Pastor Martin Niemoller
First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

I guess the Governor felt he could just skip that first step in this day and age.
Stand up against the Governor of Wisconsin and for our teachers & public workers, before it's too late.
Contact your state reps.
