Keep spreading! Keep spreading! Does anyone know if it continued?

2. And I wish DUers would stop advocating boycotts of Wisconsin. |
|
Unlike, for example, Arizona, the GOP lunacy is being opposed massively by the citizenry of Wisconsin. They are a major battleground. Calls for boycotts can only hurt many who are actively protesting the GOP outrage.

3. They're actually happening all over the state - indefinitely AFIK |
|
There are walkouts scheduled for tomorrow all over and a big day in Madison and around the state on Saturday.
So much of this was planned before last night's actions. Now, they'll be even bigger than they would have been.

5. There have been protests, some of them quite large, in all parts |
|
of the state ever since the Madison occupation began. Last weekend, about 2000 protestors met (Not) Joe the (Not) Plumber's bus in Eau Claire. Shortly thereafter, 3-400 more collected in front of the local state Senator's office to protest. There have been actions practically every day in Green Bay, Oshkosh, Superior, LaCrosse, Hudson, Eau Claire, Platteville, etc. It hasn't been spreading. It's been everywhere since the beginning.
