Calling all patriots!
From Jim Price, Brookfield Patch:
A Brookfield rally Saturday in support of Gov. Scott Walker, organized by a local grassroots group, has been moved back a bit to coordinate with a larger political event scheduled for the same day.
“Walker Backers At The Square,” an informal gathering at Brookfield Square mall, is now set for 4 to 6 p.m. so there will be less conflict for those who wish to attend the daylong “Defending the American Dream Summit” in Milwaukee.
“This is truly a grassroots event,” said Meg Duffy, one of the volunteer organizers. “Homemade signs, signs pulled up out of the dirt in our lawns, just to promote Gov. Walker.
“We’ll be on one of the busiest streets at prime time for people coming home from work.”
Duffy and her fellow organizers are the same group that coalesced around a Facebook page to present the “Celebrate Walker” rally Jan. 21 in Wauwatosa, which ended up becoming a major political event.
Walker Backers at the Square is not intended to match that in scope, and no speakers are scheduled at this time.
“It’s just gonna be a fun event with a lot of like-minded people getting out together,” Duffy said. “We expect maybe a couple hundred people – who knows, maybe more.
“There will be special guests – although I’m not at liberty now to say who.”
Participants in the roadside rally are also being asked to consider volunteering time working phone banks from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Waukesha Victory Center, 1701 Pearl St.
“We have 72 days left to get the patriots out there” before the projected date for the recall, Duffy said. “So, let’s go.”
Clearly they didn’t get the memo. The patriots already showed up and signed the recall petitions and we’ll be there on election day to make sure that Walker will be standing in the unemployment line (although I imagine the Kochs have already set him up so he won’t ever have to worry about money again).
I suffer from an often humorous form of dyslexia. At first glance I thought she said: “We have 72 days left to get the parrots out there”.
Likely more correct on the first reading. LOL!
You’re funny! 🙂
“We’ll be on one of the busiest streets at prime time for people coming home from work.”
Yeah, that big Saturday rush hour.
More like “just in time to get the loafers just coming off the golf course.”
really? patriots gather supporting Walker? What are we in the revolutionary war? Who the hell started this patriot thing…”grab your musket…we will be blowing the canons for Walker” who are you people? Busy hours on a Saturday? don’t people know thats when everybody is working their third job to cover the losses we have from our paychecks thanks to the third Koch brother, Scotty Walker Koch?
Patriots? i just recently covered a bunch of “patriots”
