UPDATE: For the past two days, thousands of workers have been gathering at the State Capitol in Madison, WI, to defend their rights in the workplace. From nurses to police officers, public sector workers and OFA volunteers have been protesting against proposed legislation to take away workers' rights to bargain collectively. With a vote on the legislation expected as early as today, volunteers are already gathering at the Capitol this morning. It's going to be a big day in Madison and you can follow updates throughout the day on the OFA Wisconsin Twitter feed.
Organizing for America is mobilizing on the ground in Wisconsin to defend the rights of public employees from an attempt by the governor to take away their right to organize.

They are organizing against the States. Against the people. Against the people we elected to do the tough job of bringing our budgets under control.
Disgusting! Pigs and the public trough.
Sounds like the local tea parties have an opportunity to get back in the game and attract more supporters.
These people are meatheads.
Please start proceedings to impeach Obama now.
I prefer the folks who are fighting for taxpayers.
Organizing for America are Obama’s shock troops.
Obama will applaud these demonstrations just as hard as he decried the Tea Party demonstrations.
State employees/teachers protesting in New Jersey, Wisconsin, and Ohio. What state is next? Makes me wonder if we’re witnessing the beginnings of a CWII except instead of it being North vs. South, it will become Public Employees vs. Private Employees. It appears the world is being pulled apart at the seams.
Yes. Obama’s thugs are meddling in state politics. Surprised? We shouldn’t be.
They also require Louisville Slugger adjustment.
WADER HIGH PROJECTILE VOMIT ALERT!
commies versus capitalist. Just happens to have reached the streets of the USA and just like the USSR shriveled. So will these commies. Hell WE are the ones paying their salaries, pensions, healthcare, and most likely without our approval even the costs and organization of these protests. Time to flush ‘em all. Tea part time!
Republican governors and legislatures need to coordinate plans and bills for spending cuts with the Tea Party, so pro liberty and pro fiscal responsibility Americans can bus in to support them. If it becomes a state by state battle with leftest thugs, so be it. It’s time to sweep out the trash.
if so then we have a president asking for the people to rise up and have mob rule while ignoring, laws and the constitution i.e. those elected now not doing their job.
i like your thinking!
Fire them All and start over. I bet they can fill all those teacher jobs in a week with decent people that want the work and care about teaching.
it is time for all conservatives and proud Americans to move out of their liberal hell holes, thus not give their tax money to left wing causes. gain electoral points in places like VA, FL, NC, CO,AZ, etc
The way things are going is that we’ll be setting up a new country.
north est and some northern liberal hell holes of america
and the proud hard working lawabiding Amercia in the south and midwest
Also, when they drag their students to the capital and force them to “protest” or whatever they should be arrested and charged with kidnappping.
If convicted - fried!
