1. Hey WI! Take Peaceful Actions: Boycott & Protest! Bus Tour, Americans for Prosperity

These Wisconsin businesses are hosting anti-worker, union-busting events on this Thursday, Friday & Saturday, March 3, 4, & 5, 2011.

To counter-protest, show up with all your enthusiasm & signs. Bring a buddy. Be prepared to sing "America the Beautiful" and On Wisconsin!.

Take your drums, whistles, noise makers, and bullhorn.

Who will speak for workers? Please remember these are peaceful actions.

Does the local media know? Make sure they do.

Boycott these businesses!

Support businesses that support worker rights.

2. Funny, the only comments are from people against Walker. n/t

[dragonlady]

3. We could go to the site and "like" the comments

It couldn't hurt. :evilgrin:

[snacker]

4. Awww, shucks...

they removed the comments....wonder why???

[FeelingBlue]

5. Huh?? n/t

[Viking12]

6. The comments on the AFP site were dominated by Walker opponents.

Very few teabaggers interested in the Astroturfing apparently.

7. Let's be neighborly

And give these out-of-state tourists an escort. Maybe a few union truck drivers would volunteer to drive ahead of their bus, going a safe and prudent 10mph under the speed limit...

[snacker]

8. On Twitter:

someone just wrote that the bus is moving and the protesters are following it.

9. Good...

He's got to learn that we're not letting him off the hook on this one.

[FeelingBlue]

11. So cool!! n/t

[snacker]

10. update

I found this on the 540,000 To See Scott Walker OUt of Wi, January 2012 Facebook page:

Well you will be please to hear that I just got word from my union brothers and sisters who went to the Brat Stop in Kenosha to protest the Koch Brothers funded Americans For Prosperity Bus tour. We outnumbered them by a huge margin. I'm told 3 Walker supporters showed up and we had 200+. The only people that departed Kenosha on the bus were the 3 AFP organizers that arrived on it.

Next stop---Milwaukee @ noon

12. Nino's in Sheboygan opted out...

apparently they are going to Blue Harbor Resort now. Nino's didn't want to get involved in anything political.

[dragonlady]

13. New site: 229 S. Pier Drive, Sheboygan

[54anickel]

14. I read the dinner reservation they had at Nino's was for 45 people. Not much of a crowd. n/t

[ewagner]

15. Blue Harbor

is a nice place and probably a pretty safe haven since it is so spread out...and it is the home turf of two hard-core repub Senators...and one hard-core Assemblyman.

[snacker]

16. check out my post (#10) above. n/t

[ewagner]

17. The Senators

are Grothman (protestors are slobs fame) and Liebham(omg there's illegal voting everywhere fame)...Assemblyman is Steve Kessel...I think

[dragonlady]

18. Joe the Plumber called today to invite us

to the event in Wausau. They are not too well organized, since that's a few hundred miles from where we live.

[54anickel]

19. I got a call from Joe too! To meet up with him at a Perkins in Green Bay.

I pressed 1 to register hoping I'd get to speak with someone but I just got a recording giving a Milwaukee phone number to call (I'm in Jefferson County).

[ewagner]

20. Is that the best they can do for "celebreties"?

I mean that's almost like Jerry Mathers (Leave it to Beaver) appearing in a grocery store parking lot....only difference, I'd actually ENJOY meeting Jerry Mathers...

[snacker]

21. I sounds like this is a bust so far.

I just read on Facebook one young woman's account of the stop in Green Bay this morning. She wrote that she couldn't see anyone on the bus, there were 150 anti-Walker protesters, and a handful of pro-Walker people...the bus moves on...
