National Day of Protest in Support of Wisconsin Turn Out About 150,000

150,000 is a respectable turnout, but a far cry then the million some predicted (hoped for). Almost half were at the protest in Madison (Wisconsin).

"Promoters, such as David Dayen at Firedoglake, were predicting a million-person turnout nationwide. But reports as of 7:00 E.S.T. today make clear that other than in Madison, Wisconsin, the crowds were sparse.

The turnout in Madison was sizable, with estimates ranging over from 50-70,000, which included protesters bused in from other states. (Dayen is trying to pump the crowd estimate to over 100,000.) But elsewhere, the crowds numbered only in the hundreds or low thousands.

In Washington, D.C., only about 500 people showed up (go to link for good photos of crazy signs). (Note, WaPo says 1000.)
...
Other head counts, based on news reports, include: Boston (1000), Portsmouth, N.H. (few hundred), Augusta, ME (small crowd), New York City ("several thousand"), Chicago (1000), Miami (100), Austin (several hundred), Chicago (1000); Lansing, MI (2000), Nashville (hundreds), Los Angeles (2000), Richmond, VA (300), Denver (1000); Frankfurt, KY (several hundred), Jefferson City, MO (several hundred), Harrisburg, PA (several hundred).

While I don't have a complete count, based on these numbers from some major cities and labor states, total protesters nationwide (excluding Madison) likely totaled under 100,000 combined.

In reality, lots of the best Rolex timepieces are usually lower than rolex replica sale stellar vendors. Such as two-tone designs (Rolesor) and also designs similar to this Rolex Daytona using a meteorite switch. Professionally, I enjoy meteorite calls. My partner and i do not think that we rolex replica sale accumulated boulders being a youngster, yet products coming from area would enchant myself. In cases like this, the particular "source" with the switch is in fact a lot more intriguing if you ask me compared to the rolex replica sale seem than it. Even though I really do confess, in terms of natural stone calls move, chemical p laundered meteorite will be quite great. Additionally, Rolex getting Rolex, they're going to select the sweetest meteorite they could manage to get thier practical. Rolex features a difficulty of this type chanel replica uk even though.
