from Solidarity Sing Along facebook

It's time! Just got back from the Capitol and the daily Solidarity Singers.

The Capitol Police focused their arrests on the elderly(Ragin Grannies) and a fourteen year old young woman.This daily reminder to Walker is the only thing that he and his right wing cronies have not been able to crush.

Over the last three weeks the Capitol Police have arrested over 200 singers trying to intimidate but the noon hour protest continues.These brave women and men sing songs of solidarity and collective action.Songs of Unions and protest.

They have become part of our history.

They have assembled every day since March of 2011.It's time for Union members and leaders,public and private sector to join in and vocally and visibly speak out.

It's time for Union shirts and Union songs.Monday thru Thursday the Singers assemble in the Capitol rotunda from 12:00 noon until 1:00 pm.Fridays they assemble on the Capitol lawn,State Street side from 12:00 noon until 1:-00 pm.

This is our fight and our time.

We need you standing shoulder to shoulder with other Wisconsin citizens to call out the inequities,,corruption and incompetence of the Walker administration.

Yours in the Union!

We all need this spirit, as we continue to struggle for all human beings to be treated with respect.

seems to be getting worse.

(note to cops: probably not a good idea to piss off the raging grannies. they could eat you for a light snack)

And how does he get his capital police to act? How do the little fascists eat the peaceably assembled public?

IF YOU CONTROL THE POLICE AND THE MILITARY, YOU CONTROL EVERYTHING!

Gobble, gobble, gobble.... jaggoff!
