INDIANAPOLIS -- With the controversial right-to-work legislation now law, protesters are moving ahead with plans to try to disrupt Sunday's Super Bowl.
Gov. Mitch Daniels signed the bill Wednesday to make Indiana the 23rd state to prohibit labor contracts that require workers to pay union representation fees and the first to adopt such legislation in a decade.
Between 3,000 and 4,000 union protesters streamed outside the Statehouse on Wednesday chanting, "No Super Bowl," and "See you at the Super Bowl!" before marching into Super Bowl Village, down to an area near the stadium and back.
"We certainly had a huge number of Hoosiers at the State House (Wednesday) protesting the bill. We wanted to send a message that just because this bill passed doesn't mean that we're going away. We want to take this to the streets and fight block by block, citizen by citizen and legislative seat by legislative seat," union attorney Todd Nierman said.

I am so effin’ sick of these people. They are bananas if they think disrupting the Super Bowl is going to win them brownie points, at least with 99% of people.
This will be like trying to keep Italians from coming to the vatican.
