Not only did Americans for Prosperity have a successful Defending the American Dream-Wisconsin summit, but somewhere around 500 (if you believe the Green Bay Press-Gazette-1,200 (if you believe the Green Bay Police Department; thanks Brad) people showed up in Green Bay for a little Chicago Tea Party. By my math, that’s somewhere north of 13 times as successful as the AFL-CIO/SEIU protest.
Revisions/extensions (7:48 am 3/8/2009) – David Troup wanted the link to go to the main Pork Revolution site.
R&E part 2 (6:57 pm 3/8/2009) – FReeper Monitor was also there, and fired off some photos.
R&E part 3 (10:27 am 3/9/2009) – I should have known better than to trust presstitutes to count. Thanks for the update on the crowd size from the Green Bay Police Department, Brad.
The entire event was a blast. I’d peg the estimate at smack dab halfway between the local paper’s estimate of 500 and WBAY’s estimate of 1200. All I know is that on the walk to Kagen’s office the line appeared endless.
Do they pay ’em time-and-a-half on Saturdays?
The official estimate from the GBPD is actually 1200 … just the beginning, provided people get involved and stay involved.
