I hope its Feingold speaking at the rally tomorrow
and that they don't try bringing in Obama.

It would be a security nightmare, for one thing, and thats not where the emphasis should be. Feingold is high profile and his values are in exactly the right place.

Who's coming to Madison? I'm going to be there all day.

2. I'll try to get there again!
I'm going to try to get back there Saturday. I drove out last Sat. and Wednesday, but then the Flu hit, and I'm not quite recovered. If I'm able though, I'll be there. Tall guy in an orange coat and a Colbert Nation hat with a little girl in a Spongebob hat. Signs: "Respect Wisconsin Workers/Respect Workers' Rights" and "We Support Public Employees".

4. To be honest, I don't want Feingold there either. This is a people's protest
and I'd rather not see any big names come in and take the limelight and redirect attention to them.

I am going to try and drive to Madison from La Crosse tomorrow.

6. I don't know who is scheduled to speak.
The rally is at 3pm. I'm just assuming they will choose a big name for the big rally, but I have no idea who it will be, and I haven't heard a thing.

7. Bradley Whitford and Jeff Skiles will be here
among others. Bradley is the actor from West Wing who hails from Madison; Jeff Skiles was the co-pilot on the plane that was landed on the Hudson.

8. Gabrielle Carteris will also be there. She's a SAG national board member.

Screen Actors Guild member Bradley Whitford (The West Wing) and SAG National Board member Gabrielle Carteris (The Event, My Alibi, Beverly Hills, 90210) will travel to Madison, Wisconsin to rally with other union members in support of Wisconsin workers on Saturday, February 26. Whitford and Carteris will be joined by AFTRA National Board member Robert Newman (Guiding Light) and Wisconsin SAG members and fellow union members from neighboring states as they rally in support of Wisconsin workers at the state capitol in Madison, beginning at 2 p.m.

Wisconsin has become ground zero for the labor movement and collective bargaining rights. The struggle of public sector union members in Wisconsin, Ohio and other states to protect their basic collective bargaining rights is not theirs alone. If collective bargaining rights can be stripped away in a strong union state like Wisconsin, it can happen anywhere. Various anti-labor bills have recently been introduced in dozens of states. And, it is believed that if this action succeeds in Wisconsin, more and more anti-union efforts may spread across the country and ultimately could affect all labor organizations, including Screen Actors Guild. All workers have a fundamental right to join unions and to engage in collective bargaining over workplace issues they face.

Screen Actors Guild supports Wisconsin union workers. http://www.sag.org/sag-members-why-wisconsin-matters-you">Click here to read why Wisconsin matters to SAG members.
