Tyler Mitchell, a young community organizer in St. Petersburg, took a drag on his cigarette as he and his friends stood on the sidewalk, describing how they dropped a banner during a speech by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker attracting a lot of media attention and disrupting a carefully planned rally.

"We'd been planning it for a couple of weeks," said Mitchell.

Mitchell and a group of community organizers from Illinois, who came to the Republican convention to protest, decided Walker would be "the optimal target," Mitchell said, because of the governor's connection to the Koch brothers and his elimination of collective bargaining rights for most public workers. So they went to see him speak at the Faith and Freedom Coalition rally in Tampa.

"We got our team together, and we went there -- we had to sit through about two hours of really painful right-wing religious rhetoric," Mitchell said.
