Excellent video! An odd thing about the Wisconsin struggle, much of it has been shut out of the news across the country. I was surprised when after it had been going on for a few weeks, most of the people I work with didn't know anything about it. I see that as THE MAJOR PROBLEM, everyone in the country old enough to know what the word "protest" means, should know about Wisconsin.
That's the wall a truly free America is up against, the stonewall! Thomas Jefferson would not believe we have allowed this to happen, he knew a free press was essential to our democracy. A free press is supposed to be our watch dog for liberty and unrestricted information in this country and for human rights around the world.
Thanks for posting this figg!

In WI apparently it also looks like fraud:

This is great way to "spread the love." Watchdogs needed until after elections. Koch brothers must be really worried to try so many dirty, illegal tricks. I wish I were still in Minnesota, I'd be there! We definitely need to spread the word and the video.
