I haven't seen a fourth name yet, but multiple tweets are saying four Dems have done this. Only Cory Mason, Nick Milroy and Fred Clark identified so far.


I googled the district numbers. Josh Zepnick (District 9) would be the 4th Dem who's moved his desk outside.

5. I thought the court said that the Capital had to be open to all the public
if the Legislature was in session? So how is Gov. Walker getting away with prohibiting protesters from entering?

18. I love Twitter
But why is Twitter the only news on this??!!!

This is so outrageous.

We need to march on the TV stations and take them back....V style!

We must demand a free press. Time to wake up the rest of the sheeples watching TV
