Meet the smart, articulate, knowledgable, committed People of Walkerville, Wisconsin.
Edited on Sat Jun-11-11 07:13 PM by Scuba


I had opportunity to visit Madison today, and made a point to get to the Square and show my support for the People of Walkerville.

Walkerville is the tent city that has sprung up on agreed-upon areas as a means of showing displeasure with the Republican-controlled government here in Wisconsin.





Need medical treatment? Gotcha covered...



Porta-potties are also strategically located, with handwashing stations available too.

Care to write a little graffiti? There's a placer for that...



Let me say the People of Walkerville are awesome. Take these two women, teachers with Madison Teachers Inc. They spoke with me today about many components of Walker's so-called "budget" bill, and the damage it will do to our State's People, environment and economy. School got out Friday, they moved to Walkerville Friday night "for the duration". These two fine, committed citizens are hands-down better candidates than any of the Republicans now in office. Take notice Democratic Party leaders.



As always, the People have unique and pithy signs to let their opinions be known...









an equal time sign...



And finally, Mark of the Raging Grannies

2. Great photos and heartening messages!
You Wisconsin progressives give us hope for the future. Keep hanging in there. You have more support than you might be aware of.

Peace and solidarity from rural Oregon!

8. They also seem to have the best teachers as
evidenced by their signs. If Wisconsinites don't start taking care of them, I'm sure other states would be willing to hire them.
