The Cheeseheads are back! Last Friday, 100 of us rallied in front of CNN/NBC/FOX, and on Tuesday more than 500 of us rallied at FOX.
Ed Schultz came down to interview us for his show, and Glenn Beck saw us from his chalkboard and got even crazier.
This Saturday, we're joining with Moveon to fill City Hall Park as part of their 50-state Rally to Save the American Dream. We'll have a stage, professional sound, and more great speakers. We'll go from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. so you can attend the 1 p.m. Planned Parenthood rally at Foley Square.
Please join us!
