Happy Halloween from Wisconsin

http://wcmcoop.com/2012/10/31/fightin-bob-la-follette-must-be-rolling-in-his-grave/

"Participants in the Solidarity Sing Along at the Wisconsin State Capitol are known for their creative song lyrics as well as their witty signs and banners. Today, on Halloween, they added masks and costumes to render their messages in defense of free speech and against the authoritarian rule of Scott Walker and Capitol Police Chief David Erwin more lively and three dimensional.

More than 30 people have received over 77 tickets over the past two months for peacefully protesting in the rotunda and participating in the Sing Along. The Capitol Police have changed tactics from handcuffing and arresting people in the building, to hand delivering tickets to people’s homes and places of employment, to their currently preferred tactic of sending the tickets through certified mail."

"Despite the increase in police harassment, people continue to assemble every weekday at noon to hold this public space open as the public square and free speech zone it was designed to be."
