In the Rotunda, Day 19 of the Occupation. It's been decades since I've seen anything like this. http://yfrog.com/gz997zkj

2. I think these crowds are bigger than the Vietnam

protests in the late 60's early 70's. But my memory may be faulty. The fact that it's hard to tell should tell you something about the size of these crowds in Madison. It's awesome!

[Jackpine Radical]

14. These are definitely much larger.

Back then, it was mostly students, and the total enrollment at UW was maybe 35,000. It was a lot more exciting back then, though. National Guard troops all over campus (Jesus, I remember some of them carrying M-79 grenade launchers! No doubt teargas rounds if anything, but if one of those half-pound projectiles ever hit you…), phalanxes of riot-equipped cops charging mobs of students, tear gas everywhere, masses of students breaking down chain'link fences to get away from the cops & gas, cops throwing teargas grenades into the library--holy crap, I'm having a flashback!

Anyway, like I said, those crowds were maybe 10 or 20,000 iirc. Still awfully large for that era.

3. I wish You Tube would get his speech up, so some of us can see it.

The other link hasn't worked for me.

This old computer is really snarky about what it will play, and what it won't.

7. How did he get into the rotunda? I thought it was locked down.

Except for the Republican secret passageways.

19. Capitol was open yesterday and today

with some restrictions (no snakes, damnit), which was even more than we had hoped for after the Judge's order, which would have allowed the Dept of Admin to close it off-hours if there are no sessions or hearings going on.

It sure relieved a lot of the tension around the building.

[Lasher]

20. OK thanks, that's good news.

9. We haven't seen these kind of protests since the 60s

Nam War protests. I suppose our children are coming into their own. Different reasons, but basically still their right as Americans.

[Shagbark Hickory]

10. What did I miss?! Did they start protesting?

[HockeyMom]

15. They are protesting UNION busting

That is the issue behind everything else.

12. When Senior Citizens wake up cold and hungry... when schools are closed...

..when the shelves are empty in the grocery stores... the Sheeple will wake up and realize what they have done by watching Fox News and voting Republican.

By that time.. it's going to be too late to turn back.

There Will be no more Meals On Wheels... the Fire Dept won't come to your house if it's burning and we will be required to step over the dead bodies in the street....

No Kidding...

[butterfly77]

16. Which many don't believe...

now the ones who finally can see it,are now scared and blaming the people who receive meals on wheels,SS,medicaid and medicare,etc..they call on the republiCON line everyday on cspan with their script from Koch,Glenn beck and limburger...

[Lefta Dissenter]

18. and this was with our "Small Saturday" crowd

you could barely move anywhere last Saturday outside the Capitol. Body to body, which was good, because it was frickin' cold.

[Hissyspit]

21. Sunday kick nt

[Major Hogwash]

22. The revolution is not being televised.

So, I guess we don't count.
Pack up, go home, nothing to see here.
