Voters went to the polls Nov. 8 and decisively repudiated Republican Tea Party extremist assaults on collective bargaining, immigration reform, reproductive rights, gay and lesbian rights and right to vote in several states.

This development is connected to the growing Occupy Movement and reflects the power of the 99% when united and in action. If the labor-led people's movement can build on the election results, it can have an important impact on the outcome of the 2012 elections.
