Yesterday was wild at the Capitol, but today could get very ugly. The union thugs are calling all the troops to Madison for a 'day of rage'. Michael Moore tweeted last night that anyone within driving distance of Madison needed to get there immediately. Ed (the red) Schultz was on MSNBC last night calling for a general strike.

The twitter accounts #wiunion and #wistandoff are calling for protestors to surround the Capitol building and not let the members of the assembly get to work, This could get ugly,last night the Republican state senators had to flee the Capitol because the police said they could not guarantee their safety.

Stay tuned for further updates, WTMJ Charlie Sykes will be excellent to tune into today.....He starts in 30 minutes and will go till noon central time....

"Of particular concern to police are a few dozen protesters who spent the night in the antechamber of the Assembly"

YES, but why don't the Union Police officers evict and arrest the law-breakers?

Simply because the Union are the Socialist Workers Unions for all intents and purposes, banded together to promote re-distribution of others' wealth via the tax schemes they use to force the contributions to their cause.

I saw some video of the parasites climbing in the windows. I had a distinct vision of maggots swarming on a dead carcass.

I wonder how Mr. Walker is being guarded? There is no doubt his life is in danger from these thugs.

Prayers up for the safety of the patriots in Wisconsin.

Is there some kind of law that they have to meet at the Capitol? I’d go somewhere else, get the job done and then announce it to the media.

First off, thank you for the wiseye link. I didn’t know of it before.

As trying as today may be for the Republicans, there is one bright spot. They have been through this before. Loud, ugly, union-fueled protests have been directed at them many times in the past. This time, however, their votes can actually make a difference.

"The twitter accounts #wiunion and #wistandoff are calling for protestors to surround the Capitol building and not let the members of the assembly get to work..."

From 1000 miles away it doesn't look like any Republicans are going to be getting into the Wisconsin State Assembly today.

When this all gets ugly with groups counter attacking the union Socialists...just remember who started the violence.

This is looking like they are turning it into a fight to the death. Whichever side loses this thing will lose BIG.

Interestingly, the almost comedic part of this is that the only weapon they have is to throw a really big temper tantrum. We have all the "real" power - even the support of the actual voters of the state.

Here's their strategy so far:

Problem for these children is, we're the adult pushing the cart.

GREAT on-the-scene reporting, milwguy! You've really been doing a fabulous job.

Unfortunately we're only getting snippets of live info from Fox News and CNN, and the guy subbing for Glenn Beck on the radio right now is blabbing on about Charlie Sheen. Unbelievable...
