WASHINGTON — The protests that erupted last week in Wisconsin have attracted attention not only across the United States, but even as far away as Egypt. One of those out-of-state observers, Maine state Rep. Diane Russell (D), has decided that what is happening in Madison is so important — even to her own Northeastern state — that she has decided to pack up a vehicle and drive all the way out there with three of her friends to join the fight.
“I wanted to be there to show solidarity,” said Russell in an interview Sunday evening with The Huffington Post as she was driving through New Hampshire. “I’m coming because if the levees break in Madison, everyone gets flooded.”
Russell has been raising money through her website for the trip, which includes providing protesters with hot chocolate, coffee and hand-warmers — cold-weather necessities for standing outside for hours in Wisconsin. She said that she had raised more than $1,000 in total. She is also tweeting and posting updates about her trip.
Why is this on this site? This is leftist propaganda and has nothing whatsoever to do with foreclosure fraud.

I also am wondering why this link was posted on this site…. The only “reason” these protesters have to “agitate” here is that their unions may have encouraged the managers of their pension funds to purchase the fake MBS “investments.” but nothing in this demonstration illustrates an understanding of the MortgageFraud crisis.
If they change their focus and quit looking just towards themselves and their desire to manipulate the will of the Wisconsin voters, I might consider these “strange befellows” as allies in the fight against the Banksters and Wallstreet.
..But not at the expense of the taxpayers of every state in this nation. As Taxpayers, we are already straddled with the “bailout” of the Big Banks and Wallsteet. We don’t need to bail out “government employees” too!
Ever since filing bankruptcy back in 2009, life has totally changed for me. I have been forced to abandon the life of “no regret” by charging everything I want on my high limit credit card. It took a lot to get used to the idea that I no longer have a credit card, and all my expenses are paid for via cash, but I know in the long run, this is going to be better for me. Living on cash is one of the hardest thing that anyone can do, because you basically know right upfront what you can and cannot afford. Living your life on a cash basis means that you know exactly what you can and cannot afford, there is no may be about it. It has thought me of the importance of budgeting. I would not want to put myself in so much debt again.
