5:00 P.M. 

The crowd is not too much smaller on the first floor of the rotunda and the drums are still being beat, but the energy of those seem determined who remain.    There may have been too many on the web site that was linked above to allow for it to keep up….but that is not confirmed.

4:30 P.M.

The site has went off the air.  Police must have moved in.

4:20 P.M.

“The Whole Is Watching” is being chanted by the protesters that are assembled for the most part on the first floor. The police are standing in the middle of the rotunda on the ground floor. We all know the police are with the protesters and have been put in a tough place. The National Anthem has just broke out among the crowd.

There is a heavy police force in the building and on the lower floor of the rotunda. The first floor rotunda is filled with people.

With thousands in the Wisconsin Statehouse, and many more outside police are telling protesters to leave the building or be arrested.  Drums are being beat, and thousands are singing “Solidarity” in the Statehouse.

###

Let us try to keep the State Capitol open for those who are working to make sure that Scott Walker and Company will not be able to destroy the very fabric of Wisconsin.
