[QUOTE="Forget Favre, post: 357916, member: 2006"] 70,000 came out to protest today. That is more than half the population of Madison. [url=http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/govt-and-politics/article_19c56fb6-41d7-11e0-820b-001cc4c03286.html]Nearly 70,000 protesters participate in rally at Capitol[/url] Excerpt: For a second straight Saturday, tens of thousands of protesters filled the streets around the state Capitol, braving temperatures in the mid-teens for the largest day yet in their continuing struggle to stop Gov. Scott Walker's plan to essentially end collective bargaining rights for most public employees. Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain said early Saturday afternoon that the number of protesters around the Capitol was on the scale of last Saturday's peak crowd estimated at 68,000 and continued to swell to more than 70,000, possibly approaching 100,000. "We've had no problems," DeSpain said, adding that officers were again committed to keeping the Square "safe for democracy." There were lines of more than 500 people waiting to get into the Capitol late Saturday afternoon as officers only let people in as others left. [/QUOTE]
