From the blog Uppity Wisconsin, video and text by Steve Wagener. //Check out

Both sides of the street where the hotel entrance is, were lined with over 1000 people protesting Scott Walker's budget bill. Inside where the AFP rally was taking place, was a "standing room only" crowd of about 100 people.
Both the AFP host, Matt Seaholm and Wurzelbacker referenced the large crowd outside when speaking to the Tea Baggers. Seaholm stated, "The crowd outside is refusing to let State Representative Warren Petryk of Wisconsin's 93rd Assembly District through the gauntlet that the protesters outside had formed." He then introduced "Joe the Plumber".
Wurzelbacker said to the Tea Baggers, "Tea Partyers are bunch of individuals, coming together to share what we can do best for our country, what is best for our state. Out there they are all about me. That's the problem, they are all about me. Now don't get me wrong, there is a lot of good people out there, they are scared because they have had that guarantee most of their work life. Most of us don't have that guarantee, most of us have to work hard."
After Wurzelbacker's short talk, Seaholm once again asked for Warren Petryk if he had arrived. When there was no response Seaholm once again mentioned that he thought Petryk had likely been detained by the crowd of protesters outside.
As things started winding down in the meeting I left to find Warren Petryk. I found him outside. I found Mr. Petryk surrounded by people asking him questions. I got my question in and he answered. See the attached video. -saw-Both sides of the street where the hotel entrance is, were lined with over 1000 people protesting Scott Walker's budget bill.
