I thought Wisconsin readers would appreciate an early warning.

For my non-Wisconsin readers, “the bomb” refers to the austerity and union-busting measures that Walker initially called a “Budget Repair Bill”.

I know some of you will revel in the memory of the very first protest in Appleton, Wisconsin which sprang up outside of the newspaper offices of the local newspaper where Scott Walker was giving an interview.

1. Any dialogue from the loss of workers rights being discussed anywhere? I know we hear about

capitol singers being ticketed, but what if any has this had on workers rights? I have to wonder if leading up to this uprising, if all the legislation and those legislators who support a right to work environment were all ready working to some extents... i.e.. if you see something say something to weed out workers who were not going to help with the right to work environments....
