1. God I LOVE those inflatable palm trees some of them have!

Hilarious!!! Take THAT, Pox Noise! We're ONTO you assholes.

And we don't mind one bit - rubbing it in. Makes for some great visuals!

[Lasher]

3. Hahahahaaaaa!!

That's real good!

[tosh]

[Raine]

23. Me too. I love those, such a TERRIFIC idea! nt

:applause: :bounce:

[tallahasseedem]

24. These trees just go to show...

12. Have you seen the UW-Madison marching band perform that

song? They are awesome.

[barbtries]

4. i love that first sign the best

the republican lawmakers in wisconsin should really take their heads out of their asses or they will be out of their jobs.

6. This won't get played in the media. People start posting on YouTube

[iwishiwas]

8. News 18 was the only news outlet I saw there. Saw the car

but did not see any camera's. Perhaps he was over with Rep. Petri (R) who was talking listening to folks on the other side.


I heard the American for Prosperity bus (Walker's bus pony show) showed up earlier (this was a counter protest event) but only a few got off the bus and they left early.

Walker was to be at the Chippewa Valley airport at 1:10 pm for a news conference in a hanger.

19. I think you mean Warren Petryk,

the newly elected R who beat Smith.

[iwishiwas]

26. You are right. I used

to live in Tom Petri's district further south and I got the two mixed up. Thanks for the correction.

[Jackpine Radical]

29. Yup. That's what I assumed.

[iwishiwas]

7. I was at both of these events. Thanks SOOOOO much for

posting. I saw these (as a long time reader of DU) and just had to let you know.
I met some lovely people at the events.

10. Thanks for letting us know more, iwishiwas!

That must have been awesome! Welcome to DU (officially... :))! It's great to have you with us! :toast: :hi:

[iwishiwas]

13. Thank you very much for the welcome. I was

in madison last Saturday with thousands before they closed the Capitol. some many people all with a cause and peaceful. Folks have awoken. The Democratic 14's goal was to delay the vote to let the people know what was going on. It worked. Now the waiting starts to see if Walker blinks. But we will not let up.

[Rhiannon12866]

15. The longer this takes and the more the guy says...

The worse it looks for him. x( Thanks for your report from the front lines! You'll sure find a lot of support here on DU... :hi:

[Critters2]

20. Welcome to DU! And keep up the good work! On Wisconsin! nt

[iwishiwas]

25. Thanks. We have a lot of work to do in WI.

[Jackpine Radical]

22. The atmosphere at these things is incredibly upbeat.

Laughing, singing, chanting, waving--too bad we never thought of this kind of event before to break up the winter.

9. If they made it to Eau Claire, they must have a brazillion signatures by now

So hours after leaving the Green Bay Area with 1,000 signature in support of Walker and hoping for 2,000 by Sunday's arrival in Madison they stopped in Wausau to see 200 supporters. Please note that in 2000 Wausau had a population of 38,426. Then hours later they landed in Rhinelander with 115,000 signatures.

[iwishiwas]

11. They were a very small group that got off the bus and they did

not stay long at all. Doubt they could have have collected many as there were NOT many supporters in Eau Claire at the rally at all.

[Jackpine Radical]

21. A bus full of 100 teabaggers & 700 phone books

from small Wisconsin towns.

14. Look at all those violent, unamerican union thugs

Please, please, please, never forget to remind other people how much fun freedom fightin' is. Every one of those people in those pictures looks like he or she is having the best time in the cold and the snow. And when was the last time you could say that, looking at a crowd shot in such conditions?

Good job, Badger Staters!

17. love the palm trees!!! Wisconsin native grown, I suppose!!

:rofl:

[Jackpine Radical]

18. Oh, yes.

Global warming seems to be proceeding much faster here than in most places.

[icnorth]

27. Not only native grown

but union processed. :)

28. Thank you for the pictures.
