From inside the Wisconsin State Capitol, RAN ally Ryan Harvey reports:

“Hundreds of cops have just marched into the Wisconsin state capitol building to protest the anti-Union bill, to massive applause. They now join up to 600 people who are inside.”

Ryan reported on his Facebook page earlier today:

“Police have just announced to the crowds inside the occupied State Capitol of Wisconsin: ‘We have been ordered by the legislature to kick you all out at 4:00 today. But we know what’s right from wrong. We will not be kicking anyone out, in fact, we will be sleeping here with you!’ Unreal.”

Great news.

2. Scott "slimeball" Walker...

...thought he was being so smart, when the Republicans purposely omitted police and firefighters
from this anti-union legislation.

I can just hear the conversation from these bastards, "Well. We can't punish the firefighters or
the police. The people won't go for that. But nobody gives a rip about the brick layers or the
teachers. In fact, we're doing a great job of making the public hate the teachers. So, we're
golden."

Scott Walker and the rest of the Republicans in Wisconsin are third-rate a-holes.

Kudos to the police, who are doing the right thing. They know what's going on.

I wish that our entire nation would make a bee-line for Wisconsin. When it comes to this issue, we're
all Cheeseheads. If Wisconsin loses, we all lose.

9. This is great news!

Every move that Walker has made has been stopped by a counter move. This is chess, and it's the people and the unions who are winning.
