A four-day Wisconsin bus tour to support Republican Gov. Scott Walker concluded Sunday with a Madison rally where final speaker Brian Schimming, a veteran Republican consultant, exhorted crowd members to return to their communities "and get loud now."

The rally, held in Exhibition Hall at the Alliant Energy Center, drew about 600 people, said Matt Seaholm, state director for the sponsoring group, Americans for Prosperity. The turnout was the largest on the 10-city tour, he said.

Meanwhile, thousands of protesters once again surrounded the state Capitol to speak out against Walker's plan to curtail collective bargaining, though the gathering was considerably smaller than Saturday's rally of 30,000 or so.

Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is a group fronting special interests started by oil billionaire David Koch and Richard Fink (a member of the board of directors of Koch Industries).
