1. Hey WI! Take Peaceful Actions: Boycott & Protest! Bus Tour, Americans for Prosperity
These Wisconsin businesses are hosting anti-worker, union-busting events on this Thursday, Friday & Saturday, March 3, 4, & 5, 2011.

To counter-protest, show up with all your enthusiasm & signs. Bring a buddy. Be prepared to sing "America the Beautiful" and On Wisconsin!.

Take your drums, whistles, noise makers, and bullhorn.

Who will speak for workers? Please remember these are peaceful actions.

Does the local media know? Make sure they do.

Boycott these businesses!

Support businesses that support worker rights.

6. The comments on the AFP site were dominated by Walker opponents.

Very few teabaggers interested in the Astroturfing apparently.

7. Let's be neighborly
And give these out-of-state tourists an escort. Maybe a few union truck drivers would volunteer to drive ahead of their bus, going a safe and prudent 10mph under the speed limit...

10. update
I found this on the 540,000 To See Scott Walker OUt of Wi, January 2012 Facebook page:

Well you will be please to hear that I just got word from my union brothers and sisters who went to the Brat Stop in Kenosha to protest the Koch Brothers funded Americans For Prosperity Bus tour. We outnumbered them by a huge margin. I'm told 3 Walker supporters showed up and we had 200+. The only people that departed Kenosha on the bus were the 3 AFP organizers that arrived on it.

Next stop---Milwaukee @ noon

15. Blue Harbor
is a nice place and probably a pretty safe haven since it is so spread out...and it is the home turf of two hard-core repub Senators...and one hard-core Assemblyman.

18. Joe the Plumber called today to invite us
to the event in Wausau. They are not too well organized, since that's a few hundred miles from where we live.

19. I got a call from Joe too! To meet up with him at a Perkins in Green Bay.
I pressed 1 to register hoping I'd get to speak with someone but I just got a recording giving a Milwaukee phone number to call (I'm in Jefferson County).

20. Is that the best they can do for "celebreties"?
I mean that's almost like Jerry Mathers (Leave it to Beaver) appearing in a grocery store parking lot....only difference, I'd actually ENJOY meeting Jerry Mathers...

21. I sounds like this is a bust so far.
I just read on Facebook one young woman's account of the stop in Green Bay this morning. She wrote that she couldn't see anyone on the bus, there were 150 anti-Walker protesters, and a handful of pro-Walker people...the bus moves on...
