About 1,000 demonstrators have gathered Tuesday night outside Gov. Scott Walker's house on N. 68th St. in Wauwatosa to protest Walker's proposed state budget repair bill.

Demonstrators filled the sidewalks on both sides of N. 68th St. chanting "Kill the bill" and carrying signs saying "Stop the attack on workers' rights."

Police began blocking traffic on 68th St. between Wisconsin Ave. and Blue Mound Road at 6:20 p.m.

Thomas Ellis, 47, a math and science teacher at Ronald Reagan School in Milwaukee and a member of the teachers' union, who was participating in the protest, was asked why so many people came out to demonstrate and why they are so angry: "It's very simple, the right to negotiate as a union."

2. Wow.

Walker is facing a storm up there and I'm glad. Let's hope that him and other repukes sit up and take notice.

8. They will notice alright.......

They will use it as an excuse to redouble their efforts to kill unions everywhere else. We have to have more action like this EVERYWHERE.
