A modest suggestion:
I just checked. There are 16 State Senate seats up for reelection in 2012.
7 are held by Democrats
9 are held by Republicans

This is important information because: 1. We have the opportunity to take back the Senate in 2012 2. Republicans running for reelection are vulnerable to pressure to disobey the Governor 3. They have all served more than half their terms and are vulnerable to recall petitions.

thoughts?

1. That's fine, and should be done...but
there should also be a firestorm of dissent from the people.

It's time to face reality. Militant Phalangism has come to Wisconsin.

An American Governor has used intimidation in the form of threat of military action, against Wisconsin citizens in order to deny them UN sanctioned Human Rights.

2. Dissent
must be part of it....

Those Repubs up for reelection should know that they will be earmarked for defeat in 2012 if they go along with Walker.

Demonstrations will simply reinforce the point.
