Wobbly but Still Strong

It's hard to believe a political movement dating back to the 19th century is still kicking around now. Sure, they never really came through, but if for nothing else, you have to give the IWW some credit for thinking BIG.

OK, but anyways, check out the Wobbly page. Wobble on!
