As far as I’m concerned, any rally gets instant bonus points if it disrupts Dick Armey’s work day. By this measure, the D.C. rally for Wisconsin today outside the Hall of States was a resounding success.
FreedomWorks’ latest fundraising e-mail blast, signed by Armey himself, features a photo of my fellow Wisconsin union allies taken from a safe distance — the roof — and states:
“A veritable who's who of public and private sector unions including AFSCME, NEA, SEIU, AFT, ATU, and the Teamsters descended on the FreedomWorks office building today to block state reforms aimed to curb their exhorbitant (sic) union power in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Tennessee and Ohio.”
Terrifying.
A few of Dick’s interns (and zoo animals) eventually did make their way into the crowd, as did folks from Fox News, whose D.C. office also is conveniently located at 444 North Capitol.
More bonus points: If we keep showing up literally outside the Fox News offices, it might actually get harder for them to pretend Democrats don’t exist.
