COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Crowds of public employees protesting a sweeping Ohio proposal to strip unions of collective bargaining rights are wearing red in an effort to steer public opinion away from the idea that unions are all-Democrat organizations.
The move came as union protests by firefighters, teachers, police and state workers were joined by a smaller number of tea party activists who support the legislation. The measure would end collective bargaining and replace negotiated salary schedules with merit raises.
NBC4's Patrick Preston said there was standing room only in the Statehouse Thursday morning and there was a line to enter.
He said there are far more people in attendance Thursday than Tuesday, including hundreds of supporters among the protesters.

A view of the Statehouse atrium. Many protesters were wearing red ...
Of course they are wearing red...it’s the color of communism.
Why aren’t they at work?
Did they bring their shovels to lean on?
My immediate thought as well. Where are Mao’s little red books?
Unexcused absences should allow for immediate termination.
How dare we ask public workers to participate in the same type of pay for performance reality that we peon taxpayers live in?
I mean, who do we taxpayers think we are anyway?
First Wisconsin and now here?
Do they have to votes to pass it?
Where is the TEA party to counter them? (I know... we have jobs)
CALL AND EXPRESS YOUR SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!
So since these people obviously don't have to work, why should we care how much they protest about unions? They have plenty of money if they can be taking off work to participate in protests.
It is happening folks...
Sure Wisconsin has the media attention, but it is happening...
EVERYWHERE...
Kasich has been saying

Breake them up NOW!!! There can be no other choice or we are DOOMED!
“Crowds of public employees protesting a sweeping Ohio proposal to strip unions of collective bargaining rights are wearing red in an effort to steer public opinion away from the idea that unions are all-Democrat organizations.”
And this does that how?
Ohio Ping List!
This is exactly what I was thinking. With so many union members protesting across the country, NOW is the time to FIRE THEM ALL. Give the job to someone that needs the job.
Would it be appropriate to show up here with a communist flag? Are there any pictures out there of any union people with russian or chinese flags?
They should all be fired.
