ROOKFIELD – Nearly a thousand people packed the sidewalk adjacent Bluemound Ave. in Brookfield on Saturday afternoon to protest Gov. Tony Evers’ decision to extended Wisconsin’s stay at home order through May 26. Some wore masks and elected to participate in the parking lots while the majority stood shoulder to shoulder on the sidewalk waving and cheering at passing cars who honked or displayed signs in solidarity.

Occasionally Brookfield Police slowly drove by to remind people to stay off the street and police and Brookfield Square security vehicles were present in the parking lots, but groups of children, teenagers and adults was peaceful.

Many in the protest brought American and Gadsden flags along with homemade signs, with the bulk calling for the reopening of churches, the parks and the state economy. There were signs and T-shirts protesting Gov. Evers directly, along with Donald Trump and Mike Pence 2020 campaign signs, flags and bumper stickers.

Evers is just another Democrat working the Democrat/Leftist party line trying to keep the economy from regaining the pre Coronavirus numbers in effort to damage Trumps reelection.

No Democrat should ever be elected to lead any aspect of American lives. They belong in a land far far away with Fairies, Pixies, and Unicorns.

I wonder if any anQUEEFas will show up at any liberate protests to start sh^t? After all people are expected to wear masks out in public. Or are they sheltering at home because they're being good citizens genuinely concerned about others being told by their Soros backed handlers to stand down, at least for the time being?

My wife and I can't travel anywhere in northern Illinois because the state is shut down, but she had the landscaper put in LOTS of fresh mulch this Thursday.

So if you go out in the backyard, it smells like Wisconsin. So i's like traveling.

Honestly don’t listen to those orders, there is nothing they can do to you and no one will pull you over.

When Wisconsin opens up, there will be about 33% fewer businesses. Evers’ extension goes through the memorial day weekend. Which kills several small business’s in a state that depends on tourism. Its downright mean.

Democrats in Wisconsin are mostly government workers. They don’t care they have guaranteed jobs and pensions.

Some of these little dictators need to experience a storm the Bastille moment. They intend to destroy the economy and are actually working toward more death and destruction to obtain absolute power.

I found an article. It’s May 10. From the article
“Sen. Duey Stroebel, R-Saukville, said earlier on Thursday that Evers cannot extend his order past May 10 without legislative approval.”

Don’t forget Paul “Rotten” Ryan put a big knife in Scott Walkers back. Walker did not even carry Ryan’s District.

Rotten Ryan did not lift a finger to help Scott Walker.

And are probably getting paid also.

Not what happened. Tens of thousands of last minute fraudulent votes in Milwaukee is what happened.

Evers is Phony Tony. He’s a former superintendent of education elevated to Governor as a post turtle.
