Gosh 600 was the biggest turnout of the whole tour
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.
That sure showed them just how deep the support for Walker is and yet
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.
Yep when the group sponsored by the landed gentry [Koch Brothers] cant garner more than 600 is a sad day in libertarian paradise.
*sniff*
Perhaps people across the land are finally waking up to:
1] Unions represent the people
2] The astroturf movements represent the interests of a few billionaires.
Downtown, Harry Gerakaris, a mail carrier from Downers Grove, Ill., said that as unions go, so goes the U.S. "Most people don't realize that unions are the middle class," he said.
When people stop and think for two seconds and look who is generating and funding these astroturf movements on the right, perhaps they will get the message that they are designed to only benefit a tiny minority of population.
Their only aim is divide and simplify their pillage of our wealth, freedom to plunder is their motto.
Austerity may yet become the biggest rip-off in the history of the US.
