"All eyes are on Madison, Wisconsin as thousands rally day after day against the radical policies Gov. Scott Walker is proposing against teachers, nurses, and all public service workers to silence the voice of workers and their unions. Come rock with students, teachers, community members, religious leaders, football players and many others for the middle class and leaders who will respect the freedom of working people to collectively call for a better life!"

Wow what a show!

Tim McIlrath of Rise Against was added to this as well.

Thank you, this must have been sitting in the queue for awhile so that's why it was missed. Edited.

Jealous. I wish it weren't so hard for someone without a car to get his ass to Madison from Milwaukee.

FUCK SCOTT WALKER for killing the high speed rail. Fucking prick.

Oh no problem. Tim was added only a few hours ago, so it was easy to overlook probably. Thank you for posting about it, it's becoming a pretty big deal.

Oh fuck yeah.

so stupid. no one is trying to "silence the voice of workers and their unions..." the state is broke. broke. taxpayers can't continually be forced to foot the bill for unrealistic union contracts.

yes, they are. killing collective bargaining WILL kill the "voice of workers and their unions"

so awesome

This is fucking awesome. So proud to be from Madison, WI right now.

Its good to see the teachers in Wisconsin really care about the kids they teach. Ofcourse protesting is more important than a kids future.
