He marched to the Capitol with the firefighters.

I guess some people do not want to hear M. Moore.

"400 obscenely wealthy individuals, most of whom benefited from the multi-trillion dollar bailout..."

Listening right now.... 3:30 EST
:kick:
I have shaken his hand and personally thanked him for what he has done to help the working man. He signed my copy of a great book "Stupid White Men".
Salute Micheal! I am proud to be a Michigander on your side. :toast:

11. Michael's speaking now, but the live stream is failing at times. I'll post a transcript as soon as |
|
one is available, plus links to video later. (Sometimes even with dialup you can watch video, though it takes a long time to load.)

thanks wisconsin, for 3 weeks you have stood in the cold, slept on the floor, skipped out of town...madison is only the beginning!
the rich have overplayed their hand...they couldn't have been just content with the money they raid from our treasury...or shipping millions of jobs overseas ...they wanted more ...they had to have our souls...they had to strip us of our dignity...they had to shut us up & shut us down so we weren't even allowed at the table to bargain about a simple thing like classroom size or letting a pilot get a few extra hours of sleep...
when i came in here on delta express ...the starting pay $19K a year...they don't fly on those planes, do they...that pilot has given up trying to get better pay...at this point he just wants a few extra hours of sleep in the parking lot...
they couldn't be content...they wanted to demean and dehumanize...after all, he's just another slob...
feed out again...

30. the crowd: shame, shame, shame |
|
finally to the media who are here: please tell this story
i've only been here an hour & i'm shocked by what i've seen & haven't seen watching this on tv or in the papers -- all the pundits still say they were caught by surprise & don't understand what's going on in wisconsin after three weeks "there was an election..."
there's something going on here & you don't know what it is
we aim to fix the compass & steer the ship by ourselves from this point on
one person, one vote -- that is the thing the rich hate the most about america...no matter how they try to own the political process there's a hell of a lot more of us than of them
wisconsin, america's with you, america thanks you, madison, madison
crowd chants thank you thank you
thank you again, we love you, don't stop, hang in there buddy, every one of you men and women....
moore finishes, mod "thank you to michael moore, please recognize leaders of our firefighters, firefighters present moore with a button (?)
thank you firefighters of wisconsin, they have to go back to the station but we have a little fight...
feed out

The stream came up just when Moore told the people that their message is resounding in all 50 states and that message is, "We have had it!" And the crowd chanted it with him.

What, considering the guy is a filmmaker, and all. Hope he had someone there, and that they post high quality footage of it soon.
