The protestors aren’t going away. It will get bigger and bigger, the momentum is gaining. Class warfare will not be tolerated.

From talking with people who were up there I believe it was closer to 150,000.
Menard’s will be picketed starting this morning.
Good article, GTO man. But can you trust FOX? Just Kidding. I believe Henry Ford started improving the daily lot of workers long before unions came into the auto industry. Could the unions actually thank Henry? He initiated the $5 a day pay when others in the industry only paid $2.50. That rankled many auto makers in Detroit.

That was one thing very surprising, the the story was on Fox.
Why not just pave over the capitol lawns, less maintenance would be needed.

150000 protesters…………….what percentage of the work force in Wisconsin is that?
That is a huge number of people for any protest. There were also protestors in other cities throughout Wisconsin.

I would hazard to guess the ‘paid’ protestors are on the tea party side. The tea party and it’s supporters have bought just about everything politically, in this state. Too many people listen to the fiction of Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, Fox News, and the like. Or on the other side MSNBC, etc.
