On the final day of legislative debate over a proposed Right to Work law in Wisconsin, union protesters proved once again they are unable to replicate the massive crowds generated during Wisconsin’s historic 2011 Act 10 debate.
While unions attempted to hold an outside rally during the midday, which mustered about 300 people, the hour long outside rally completely failed to move inside the statehouse and support Wisconsin Assembly Democrats as they debated against the bill. While Assembly Democrats were able to draw debate out to 24 hours by using poetry, claims of racism, and references to Moses delivering the Hebrews from Egyptian bondage, union protesters numbered less than a dozen just 12 hours in.
But even as union protesters floundered in their attempts to draw crowds, Media Trackers was able to catch organizers begging for help, and even caught one organizer from the teachers union backed Wisconsin Jobs Now starting a chant claiming Republicans don’t care if workers die.
Despite both the efforts of protesters and Assembly Democrats, the Right to Work legislation passed 62-35. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is expected to sign the legislation on March 9th.
Question: Hey hey ho ho blah blah has got to go....has been around since the Vietnam War days when LBJ was in office.
Can’t they think of something new? This one is tired.
"...Walker hired Michael J. Gallagher, 31, an former Marine captain and Senate Foreign Relations Committee staffer, as his foreign-policy aide. Gallagher has moved to Madison and began work this week.
Gallagher is little known outside of Capitol Hill. The Green Bay, Wis., native is still a PhD student at Georgetown University. “He just sent me some draft chapters for his thesis,” professor Andrew Bennett, Gallagher’s adviser, said this week......

That picture sums up what most of us think is a low information voter.
They don’t look or sound happy.
There were some other remarks echoing in the Capital....
I've noticed a lot of them have signs or shirts with "Veterans for Peace." Like the guy lying on the floor - look at his sign.
Libs used to give away smokes to people for a vote, now I guess they give McDonald’s cards for a full day protester.
Without all the unaccountable walking around money to pay for a mob of astroturffed rent a protestors, the protest turn out falls flat.
it’s nice to hear about something—anything—real happening for the people. thanks.
What lefty protest would be complete without them making references to Hitler?
Hey-hey, ho-ho! It’s hard to protest when it’s 10 below!
Wrong race.
290 of which were members of the press.
Protestin’ is more fun when it’s nice and warm
Hey Hey...Ho Ho...The union lackies failed to show.
Looks like the evils of capitalism & union-busting haven’t deprived those protesters of too many meals.
And where is “Crying Man”? He really has something to cry about now.
Hey hey ho ho libtard commies gotta go....
