It’s amazing how many people forwarded this to me . . . they must be casting a very wide net to get people there. But I’m not sure it’s the people they want there. How much will we outnumber them by this time? Now that 100,000 are not showing up to the square, will they outnumber us on Saturday?

In case you are wondering, 291 attending. 226 maybe attending. 2699 awaiting response. 434 not attending.
And counter protesters?
Is it really a rally when James T harris and vicky pyzinsky are the main speakers?
Brenda,
There’s a “tea party counter rally” on FB with about a thousand RSVP’s, thousands of invites, and it encourages protesters to purchase goods from family farmers at the market.
I’m good with letting the tea party have a rally without a counter protest. It’s only fair and I think we all believe in freedom of speech. I do want to see how many show up though so may go downtown just to spy. I have heard of at least one bus from out state being cancelled due to lack of interest. If turn out is poor will Sarah Palin get off the plane?
Why don’t you liberals all stop your pathetic whining about reduced entitlment payments and other state paid freebies……why don’t you just thank us hard working taxpayers who are footing the bill for you???????
Our state is broke….what part of that don’t you understand??? What gives you the right to ask for even more???? The Tea Party is the common sense party!!!!
@Andy: so true!
We aren’t broke, and we’d have a whole lot more money if Walker had not given tax breaks of $130M+ to his buddies. I’m a hard working tax payer. I’m footing the bill, but I don’t mind footing the bill for the disabled and elderly and others. I consider it my duty to my fellow mankind, I learned that in Sunday school.
Brenda,
Like so many liberals, you are just wrong!! The Walker tax credits you refer to are “new jobs tax credits” that only get paid out to companies if new jobs are created. If this money gets paid out it will be because tens of thousands of new jobs were created….get your facts straight!!
Meanwhile, he’s killing how many other jobs? And please, don’t call me a liberal – I’m a progressive.
what about the healthcare savings account tax breaks? how exactly do they create jobs?
how about the millions voter ID will cost the state?? job creation there Andy?
