1. Yes, with arms!
Two each if possible, to help carry the signs!

5. It'll be too cold to bare arms, I'm afraid, though.

3. Are you planning to be there?
I have to work all weekend, or I'd drive over. Thanks for going and standing up for those workers, if you're going.

6. I would love to be there for that! I wish I could be there with them.
But, I'm stuck here.
Fuck.

7. The population of Madison is 236,000 so that would be a logistical problem.
I think a steady protest of tens of thousands is more important in the long run than a day with a more huge number than the 100,000 we had last Saturday. Another day like that would be impressive for a city the size of Madison. We would need help from other states for much larger numbers because a lot of protesters have been there for many days and for a long haul they need some relief from time to time.
