KVLY carried the story on the news about the fight that broke out but that was it.

8. We're leading the pack!
That's me and my beautiful wife. She was holding up her "Worst President EVER" sign for the guy taking pictures from the overpass.

2. hopefully, there will be some
I recall 2001 when Bu$h** went out on his remote red state kool-aid taxcut magical mystery PR tour ... I, for one, at that time, attempted to communicate via PC w/Democrats in places like Fargo, trying to muster interest in protesting the visits ... I think a handful were on hand in Fargo that year ... the media really ignored those protestors ...

... guess we'll be hearing the term '1st Amendment Zone' again ...

IIRC attendees of the Fargo Bu$hFest 2001 rally were bused from as far as Montana to fill up the arena

"One House down and now the Senate to go," he told cheering crowds in Fargo, North Dakota. "The American people had a victory today."

3. US House
I am not sure he can even count on the US House. It would be by a slim margin at best even with browbeating from Delay and Hastert.

5. Oh there was NO ignoring us today.
We were loud and proud...There was media all over us. People just don't protest here. They weren't expecting the number of us that turned out.

7. Thanks for the video
Did they say about 200 protesters? I thought I heard that. You are right when you said NDakotans don't protest, I think they are afraid of not being "nice".

12. Sadly, it is...
North Dakota's an employment-at-will state, and political affiliation isn't a protected class in any of the anti-discrimination laws.

13. I worked and live in MN however. Fargo is a border city!
I am speaking to an AFL-CIO lawyer to see if I have any rights left.

15. I will. Definitely. but.
I'm scared for my unemployment right now. I'm sitting on 10 different things right now I want to do to get the word out, because I'm not sure how MN deals with UI cases. If I piss this guy off any further I may lose my case. But rest assured the MOMENT i have my UI approval the sparks will fly. He pissed off the WRONG liberal!

Sometimes I just sit and shake my head and think how scared I am for all of us... and how the FUCK did we get into this mess and the FUCK are we gonna get out of it, ya know?
