More than 100,000 Rally in Wisconsin! by _Tula Connell_ (http://blog.aflcio.org/?page_id=289) , Feb 26, 2011 _http://blog.aflcio.org/2011/02/26/more-than-100000-rally-in-wisconsin/ #more-46039_ (http://blog.aflcio.org/2011/02/26/more-than-100000-rally-in-wisconsin/#more-46039) Video: _http://www.activistvideo.org/views.asp?id=2354_ (http://www.activistvideo.org/views.asp?id=2354) (http://wisaflcio.org/) On a snowy Wisconsin Saturday over 100,000 union members, working families, community members, faith leaders, activist groups and concerned citizens gathered in Madison to tell Gov. Walker to stop the attacks on the middle class and kill the bill. Despite the weather today’s rally was the biggest in the thirteen days of protests. The people of Wisconsin will continue to fight for their rights. It is time for our elected officials to show leadership, come to the table and move Wisconsin forward.

The Governor’s continued attacks on our state’s working families harm us all. It is now up to the Governor to be reasonable and listen to his constituents. The whole nation has taken notice of what we are doing in Wisconsin. Today solidarity rallies were held in all fifty states, as America stands with Wisconsin. (http://wisaflcio.typepad.com/.a/6a0120a5fb71f4970c014e5f7f708c970c-pi) (http://wisaflcio.typepad.com/.a/6a0120a5fb71f4970c014e5f7f9573970c-pi) What’s happened in our state has made the whole labor movement stronger. None of this would have been possible without the support, dedication and solidarity of both union members and non-union members who understand more than they have in a long time just how much we’re all in this together.
