MADISON, Wisconsin (Reuters) - Thousands of union supporters protested Gov. Scott Walker's budget proposals on Saturday at the state capital, a day after the state's chief executive followed through on his threat to issue layoff warning notices to unions representing state workers.

Joining the crowd was liberal filmmaker Michael Moore, who praised the protesters gathered in the battle over union bargaining rights as joining the history of the American labor movement. ... (Read More)

Poll: Over One Million Wisconsin Voters To Sign Recall Petition
CrooksandLiars.com, by Susie Madrak - 020111

You have to hand it to Scott Walker -- he's a wingnut true believer, with the charming personality of a rock and absolutely all the political instincts of a dead fish. Because Wisconsin voters are awake now, they know that class war is being waged, and they're not going to sit and take it.

Looks like his arrogance will cost him big-time. A new poll shows that an estimate 1.1 million Wisconsin voters are willing to sign his recall petition, and that of eight Republican state senators.

Yes, elections have consequences. But when you act as if you're the only person whose opinions count, well, the voters have a way of reminding you otherwise.

FOX News And O'Reilly Once Again Show Wrong Footage
On The Heels of The Ron Paul Deception, FOX News Tries To Deceive On Protests
NewsFocus - 030311

FOX News has once again attempted to deceive its viewers regarding the Wisconsin protests. They have been caught doing this on so many occasions now, it has to be assumed that they are dishonest in disseminating news, or perhaps just inept at doing the job of ethical journalism. Anyone that watches FOX News is being fed propaganda and disinformation. That is proven fact. The only people who don't realize this are brainwashed FOX viewers, or die-hard, far right Republicans, not to mention Aryan racists and Nazi lovers.

So what will be the excuse this time for running deceptive video footage? What FOX is trying to do is make the protesters appear to be mean and unruly, when in fact the opposite is true. The protests have been totally peaceful, with police support, but the folks at "Fair & Balanced" had to show footage from an aggressive protest in California. Yup, the folks at FOX are also blind-ass stupid, because not only did they miss the lack of snow in the background, they also missed the visible palm trees that did show up. Unbelievable!

The FCC refuses to get involved, hiding behind the fact that FOX is a satellite operation. They regulate content over the airwaves, but are unwilling to evolve with the medium. When asked why they will make new efforts to get involved in net neutrality, a medium that clearly crosses satellites, but they still ignore regulation of satellite television, this reporter was angrily hung up on. An interesting response.

What we need to combat FOX is an amendment to the FCC charter. Please call your Congressional representatives and ask them to amend the FCC charter to cover satellite broadcast. If you don't, it will only get worse.

NewsFocus: We bailed out the Wall Street criminals and crooked "banksters" who caused this economic crash. We also gave the ultra-wealthy, people who have profited enormously during this economic disaster, their precious Bush tax cuts extension. And then Congressman Ron Paul says the Federal Reserve went overboard giving out more in bailouts than we were aware of, paying anywhere from $9-trillion to $16-trillion to foreign central banks and other fat cat financial institutions. Despite all of the socialized wealth insurance for the rich, they seem to think that the middle and lower classes will bare the burden for their fiscal malfeasance. Well, we've got news for them, the people are waking up, and we're pissed!
