2. Now, those are the faces of genuine American patriots and heroes.

Make me proud of my country.

15. I love the union men with banners. aren't they beautiful? Can't

tell a book by its cover anymore. I love you, Wisconsin.

16. I love people that bring their protesting dogs too....

;) My doggy girl would be there with me if we were in the area.

18. my dachsies would have plenty of room to advertise.

Let us all think about this: this is the first politics many of those people have ever participated in. What a glorious day for them!

[AtomicKitten]

3. Awesome! Thanks for posting these.

Off and on during the day I've turned on the TV to find coverage of this. It seems only Faux Noos is showing any of it and only to disparage the protesters.

4. I especially like the one -

Walker - come kiss our Dairy air!

[vaberella]

5. Thanks for the great posters. Very inspiring. n/t

[whosinpower]

6. Also - I could not help but notice

Spelling, punctuation and printing tidiness/ability was impressive on the signs.

[Demoiselle]

11. YES!

These are the people who scare Karl Rove.

7. thanks...n/t

8. One of those pictures shows a guy with an Obama 2012 sign

I guess he feels like the president's personal presence is not required.

[Jackpine Radical]

9. I think Obama's presence would be a distraction from the real message,

which is about a populist uprising.

10. The senators just spoke about that and they said they were in touch

with him 1-2 times/day. They also didn't want him there, as this was the people of Wisconsin's battle and he would have drawn attention from that.

I think there was a lot of help behind the scenes.

14. Don't let the facts and what the Senators say about...

the President. That would throw the DU haters off message.

[vaberella]

20. Can you give it's own post and provide the link where the Senators said this?!

I think too many on DU, don't know these details. They think Obama is hands off. Please send me a pm when you create the post so I can Kick and Rec.

[Frustratedlady]

22. I'll see if I can find it. It was on DU. n/t

[Frustratedlady]

23. Here is the link. It was posted at 4:03pm today on DU.

It is at the end, if I remember correctly.

12. Some people still don't get that...

WE ARE THE ONES WE ARE WAITING FOR!!!:kick:

[tallahasseedem]

13. Thank you so much for posting these!

I am inspired by those who have showed up to fight the good fight!

[Armstead]

17. I like the one with Feingold -- Imagine if Walker got booted out and replaced by him

That would be poetic justice

[madmax]

19. Don't you love it when Americans

get their collective asses together and let lose on these bastids.

WE the PEOPLE! Especially, us Liberals - we really kick some ass. We should do it more often!

:yourock: :fistbump:

:hippie:

21. Michael Moore is there tweeting....

He has a picture of a whole caravan of about a dozen or more tractors heading to the rally.

A sign...

FOR SALE

24. Great read: I’m Not Your Scapegoat

Via the AFL-CIO

I’m Not Your Scapegoat: A unionized librarian refuses to play the dues-paying villain

<...>

I won’t apologize for making a living wage, for being able to visit a doctor when I need one, or for choosing a job that will help me build adequate retirement savings. I deserve and expect those things, as educated, passionate workers in any field should. But that’s not why I became a librarian, and I bet it’s not why you did. If we were just after a cushy lifestyle, there are easier (and let’s face it, more surefire) ways of securing one. I didn’t become a librarian to take; I became one because I wanted to give.

supporting worker rights. I don't agree with you about much regarding Obama - but thanks for posting these pics.
