The Wisconsin 14 will be joining the thousands marching in Madison tomorrow:
The 14 Dems will join together and walk to the capitol Saturday in what amounts to a celebration of their "homecoming," senator Chris Larson said in an interview a few moments ago.
The move is meant to signal that even if Governor Scott Walker was able to push through his proposal rolling back bargaining rights, the Democrats' decision to return does not represent an acknowledgement of defeat. Instead, they're returning home to join the battle to recall the Republicans who supported Walker.
"Tomorrow all 14 of us will head to the capitol, where we're going to thank the people of Wisconsin for stepping up."
And in what should be a sight to see, Wisconsin farmers are planning to join them—on their tractors:
Farmers plan to show their frustration with the budget repair bill. And they're pulling out some heavy machinery.
The Family Farm Defenders are planning a Tractorcade for Saturday, the 12th in Madison and rounding up local support. Local leaders said Governor Walker's budget would take a big hit to rural communities because of cuts to education and BadgerCare.
On the recall front, check out the details on this:
Daily Kos has commissioned Public Policy Polling to conduct polls in all eight of the districts where Wisconsin Republican state Senators are targeted for recall.
