1. Wow - sounds like she's desperate to regain some level of relevance.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

2. I thought I'd never post a thread with her name in it

But this is different - she will be in OUR city, at OUR Capitol.
:puke:

[Wait Wut]

6. Suuuuure...but, it's okay if she comes to freakin' Arizona.

:eyes:

Rec and a "wish I could be there for ya" to support my former backyard!!! I'll be sure to forward the info to my WI friends!

[eowyn_of_rohan]

7. Thanks! and hey - your Senator Kyl will be here too

I dont know if I'll be able to take it...

[Enthusiast]

16. Senator Kyl is a source of valuable information.

You know, 90% of Planned Parenthood is providing abortions. :rofl:

[opihimoimoi]

3. The Quitter knows no shame.....she will not be a factor nx year...

[eowyn_of_rohan]

9. The Koch Bros are bringing her to draw more baggers.

They're being bussed in from 10 Wisconsin cities but had to cancel the LaCrosse bus due to lack of interest from LaCrosse Tea Party

[Blue_Tires]

25. Why not? Cameras will broadcast her every word, and she gets

$100 grand (iirc) just for stepping off the plane; in addition to all the PAC donations and books/wares/whatever she can hock...

[asjr]

4. I wonder if she will charge her

usual speaking fee. She never does anything without recompensense.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

5. If so, undoubtedly the Kock Bros will pay

[eowyn_of_rohan]

8. From Milwaukee Journal-Sentinal

Nancy Mistele, a Madison politician and participant in the rally, also said Thrusday that Palin would appear at the rally while on Vicki McKenna's radio show that broadcasts in Milwaukee on WISN-AM (1130). WTMJ-AM (620) radio host James T. Harris is scheduled to emcee the rally.

[tallahasseedem]

10. Well, I guess it's time...

for that "other" part of Wisconsin to show up and let her know how they feel about her union-busting views.

[bengalherder]

11. Get out there WI!

Fuck 'em Bucky!

...signed a flatlander from Baja Wisconsin....

[eowyn_of_rohan]

12. Lol- that's a new one to me!

Hey, come on up! You can have a slice of Ian's pizza or a gyros!

[madrchsod]

23. This is exploding & Madison is on FIRE

This will be ginormous

THANK YOU for your support!!
:bounce: :grouphug:

18. It seems Palin is always doing this - an "in your face"

reaction to some event that was a progressive success. So she prances into Madison like a Queen of the Teabaggers. I hope she is met with tens of thousands of protestors.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

21. This is explosive... the counter protest will be gigantic

[Lefta Dissenter]

19. DAMN

my only complaint is that there are too many sign possibilities, and I have to narrow it down! I suppose it could be like hosting the Oscars, and we all could change our outfits (signs) at each commercial break!

[eowyn_of_rohan]

22. OMG- I was JUST getting ready to post on this subject!

Election fraud, RECOUNT, Recalls, Anti-Fitzwalker, Pro-Kloppenberg, Now PALIN? My head is spinning with all the possibilities.

[Brother Buzz]

20. Lear jet: check, Deluxe hotel: check, Pre-screened Q&A: check, bendy straws.......

[AC_Mem]

24. I hope Ed, Rachel, etc

are all over this tonight. Seriously - I will donate to help the cause if someone will post a link once this gets more organized.

Big stuff!!!

After the President's speech there are alot of democrats that are excited. The GOP is on the ropes, its time to get in there and show the power of the silent majority.

I'll be there in spirit and watching it through DU~

And check out this nugget from the paper's report:

Americans for Prosperity is organizing busses to the event. Last year's gathering featured former Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson and others.

Americans for Prosperity is, of course, a Koch financed group. The Koch name has popped up quite a bit in the Wisconsin protests -- most notably after Walker's 20-minute phone call in late February with blogger Ian Murphy, who was posing as David Koch. During that call, Walker discussed his ideas for tricking the Democrats into coming back by pretending to negotiate, his ambition to bust the public employee unions in the mold of President Reagan firing the air traffic controllers -- an event that Walker said had led to the downfall of the Soviet Union -- and that he had considered (but ruled out) planting troublemakers in the crowds of protesters.

Palin's presence could provide useful measure of activist motivation on each side at this point in the saga. Back in February, a pro-Walker Tea Party rally at the Capitol featured an all-star cast that included Andrew Breitbart and Joe "The Plumber" Wurzelbacher.

However, out of the tens of thousands who showed up that day, only a few thousand were on the pro-Walker side -- with several times more demonstrators on the other.

30. Teabaggers plans for Saturday - "Tell everybody to bring vuvuzelas"

On Saturday, April 16th, tea party patriots from throughout Wisconsin will gather at the state Capitol in Madison for a rally to celebrate past victories and rally for Wisconsin’s future....

I found this on that "other site"
"Tell everybody to bring vuvuzelas... and blow the horns for 30 seconds at 1:00, then scream; “CAN YOU HEAR US NOW”

"Americans for Prosperity" (Koch Brothers) sending buses to the following cities hoping to fill them up with tea partiers: Green Bay, Oshkosh, Appleton, Fond du Lac, Kenosha, Racine, Waukesha, Milwaukee (2 pick up locations), Wausau and Eagle River

They had to cancel the LaCrosse but due to lack of interest by the LaCrosse Tea PArty

"Americans for Prosperity" has told people who are driving to Madison to park here:

Remote parking for Tax Day Rally
moved from MATC main parking lot
(Hoffman Street) to
MATC tennis court parking
(Wright Street and Starubel Street)
Madison, WI
Free shuttle from 10 am to 4 pm

Counter protestors are urged to get here early and fill this parking lot]/b]
