Defend the Madison 13
The Proggressive
By Matthew Rothschild, October 1, 2011

Thirteen anti-Walker protesters were charged on Friday for their acts of civil disobedience in the Wisconsin state capitol on Aug. 25.

Most of them, who are in their young twenties, have been arrested several times for nonviolently opposing the actions of Gov. Scott Walker.

Over the last ten days, they’ve come under unwarranted attack by the Wisconsin State Journal, which is waging a campaign to have the police crack down on them and the district attorney throw the book at them.

On September 21, a front-page story by Clay Barbour entitled “Wearing Out Their Welcome” said they “routinely disrupt meetings, harangue individual Republican lawmakers, stage publicity stunts, and”—God forbid!—“take video of almost everything they do.”

1. I heard about the Republican State law maker saying he was chased into a bank..

I was thinking he knows why, because he is acting above the law, and people are tired of it... But more than that these law breakers are wanting to set the stage for more legislation that will most likely result in jail time for looking unfavorably at this lawbreakers...

2. Who was the repuke chased into the bank?

Did he just come out with that claim? If so it is kind of suspicious.
