The Domino Effect (Updated)
Posted by jurassicpork | 11:05 AM

It didn't happen in Southeast Asia but it sure as hell took effect in Northern Africa and certainly across the Middle East. So why shouldn't the same Domino Effect apply to Wisconsin and the rest of the United States?

Protests are popping up at State Houses and City Halls all over the country. What follows is a list of all the protests being planned from today until Thursday, courtesy of Chris Bowers at Daily Kos (Note: Not all these events are SEIU protests).

This is what happens when you keep trying to take away from people who have nothing left to lose.

So Brilliant is going to be the coordinator and keep track of the protests?

Do you have enough time to handle this?

If not, I'll go out on reddit.com and try to find a nerd to help you.

Post in comments too. I haven't the faintest idea of what my mail address is.

Tried to post before without luck.

If you need help in setting up a site, I can go out on reddit.com and find a nerd to help you.

Just post a reply to this comment.

Actually, it's me keeping track of this and I'm crossposting this here and at my two blogs. There's an update to include NJ's protest on Friday, thanks to some anonymous insider information.
