Counter rallies this weekend?
Edited on Fri Feb-18-11 07:31 AM by Lifelong Protester
I'm leaving in a few minutes to head to Madison, so not a lot of time to check this out. Please, someone, follow up on the talk that the right is planning counter rallies in Madison this weekend, complete with 'news' crews. Saw this on FB on the "Impeach Scott Walker" page or one of those.

IF TRUE, WE NEED SUPPORT IN THE FORM OF MARCHERS ON SATURDAY!!!

1. Counter rallies will probably occur, but other unions are on the way
Remember that unions by definition are organized. Very much more organized than the tea-party supporters. The end of the regular work week will release many private sector union workers to make their presence known.

When the Dem senators hold through midday tomorrow the crowd will swell not only in Madison but also Milwaukee and university towns across the state.

2. I would love to see the Dem legislators that
went AWOL to show up at the back of the protests and walk with the people to the steps of the capitol. This would be a great visual and assure them of face recognition for a long time to come. It would also be a great wedge against the powers that be.
