Wisconsin Solidarity Singers Carol In Huge Numbers, Thumbing Nose At Walker's New Protest Rules

When the whos of whoville discovered the Grinch stole their Christmas they got together and sang. When the Badgers of Badgerland discovered Walker stole their rights they...well...got together and sang.

I would estimate about 1000 whos errr Badgers showed up at the Capitol to show Walker that he could not take our rights away.

Oh yeah, in case you were wondering, there were no arrests. Maybe the crowd was too big. Maybe Walker is waiting to make his move at a later date. Stay tuned.

Solidarity!!
On Wisconsin!!

They didn't go after the protesters there before, either. In fact they were itching to join them.
