Live video feeds from Wisconsin
As you might have heard, the Wisconsin Senate has voted to eliminate collective bargaining. D:< Check out this link for live coverage of the occupation of the state capital. There are growing concerns about demonstrators being arrested.

EDIT: There is a delay on the feed it seems but it's still more than you're going to see on network television. Right now the protesters are floating ideas of a general strike and/or a recall election. They are staying in the capital tonight for fear that the building will be locked down again and they will be unable to resume protesting today if they leave.

EDIT 2: I'm going to update more when I get home (thanks for the links - keep'em coming). Also, if anyone has news of protests in other states I'd love it if you could comment and let us know. Thanks!

Unless my reading skills are complete shit this is illegal

Does anyone know of protests in other states? I've been trying to find info on upcoming protests in Michigan to no avail.

Representative Barca makes a desperate plea to the Republicans as they 'passed' the bill (Rage-inducing - I would also avoid the comments to the video)
