In reply to No cable or satellite for me

I don't have cable or satellite either but I watch all the clips every day from the night before's show. I am sure their following is just as high on internet and have a larger viewership all total then the top fox news shows. I can't imagine any one wanting to keep up with fox on the internet. They would just listen to Rush and call their grandkids to talk them through their computer errors.

In reply to Ed Schultz and MSNBC's

No cable or satellite for me so I'm clueless about MSNBC shows. But, good for them if they have their cameras there. (We are also out of range for an NBC station so no help there either.) I've seen one story from AP so maybe there will be a bigger MSM presence than Wisconsin got. I hope so.

I don't need any more fancy cake pans either! hahahaha I seldom use the ones I do have!

I'm betting Rachel will be on

I'm betting Rachel will be on top of it, too. She won't be there, but she'll be reporting the activities. I don't know how much good any of that does, but it's a great morale boost for the people making the effort to rally.

Ed Schultz and MSNBC's

In reply to Are you a bettin' woman,

Ed Schultz and MSNBC's cameras will be there. This is right in his wheel house. It is good for several exclusive shows. By the way he ranks twice in the top 20 news shows in his 8 and 11 PM time slots. He and Rachel have the 2 most watched news shows outside of Fox news. MSNBC will be all over it because they have been climbing in the ratings and want to keep them up now that the election is over. NBC will show clips on Tuesday evening broadcast if their cameras are there.

Oh I don't need any more fancy pans. I just got done moving them all to a larger closet. LOL Which do you want? Vintage or new bundt pan.

Gonna be a party, looks like.

The Capitol's front steps are booked Tuesday for the Michigan chapter of Americans for Prosperity and other conservative groups supporting the legislation, said Republican consultant Stu Sandler. He said the reservation was made in the name of an economic group for youth, Involve America.

"Citizens are going to be coming up and thanking legislators and the governor for doing the right thing," Sandler said.

The Michigan AFL-CIO has booked the west side of the Capitol for the same time Tuesday.

"We are planning a large mobilization," American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 25 President Al Garrett said in a message to his members.

In reply to The dummies didn't think this

Are you a bettin' woman, momoe? 'Cause I'll bet you a fancy cake pan no one will hear peep one from the MSM about any of the protesters showing up at the capital in Lansing. The Michigan papers will cover it but it won't go national. The only way to keep the people motivated is to keep it going in the blogs.

The dummies didn't think this through either. Now the opposition and Democrats can keep voters engaged all the way until 2014. Even if legal moves can't change the law trying will keep it on the news and remind voters how mad they are so they will vote in mid term. Lots of tar and plenty of feathers demonstrations with MSM invited to come. National coverage of populace demonstration keep people like me motivated.

Just got this from Chris at Eclectablog. Wisconsin union members are on their way to Michigan to rally against RTW on Tuesday.

You can count on anti-union types to wail and gnash their teeth over “union thugs being imported from other states”. Be ready for that. You might ask these ignorant union-haters why they are content to see money flooding in from anti-union groups from other states (I’ll have more about this tomorrow) to destroy Michigan unions but are so in need of a fainting couch when union members from our sister state of Wisconsin who support our struggle stand with us in a display of solidarity.

Durn. I missed where you had already posted it.

No kidding. A Dem from DeVosland is like finding a sacred unicorn in an evil forest.

There's supposed to be some kind of a gathering in Lansing to protest. It will be interesting to see if it will bring out more folks than did the v*gina uproar.

One of my kids lives in Lansing now. I'll have to phone him and find out if he'll be in the crowd.
