What was a Saturday? The "big" demonstration in Madison was on a Saturday, yes. And I heard all sorts of excuses for why the TP didn't have a better showing: they were working (like they all work at Wal Mart or somewhere like that); the snow was bad (apparently the pro-union protesters didn't have to drive in snow), etc.
I think for myself and I strongly resent you implying that I can't.
Nice deflection, par for the course. You get an "A" in Alinsky tactics. Very good... Now, I was answering your question about why there was a big showing in Aug. in DC. It was a Saturday. The union people were bussed in from all over the country by various left wing organizations, even the Communists and Socialists. The DNC helped too. Can you say ASTROTURF????
The clock is now running for groups trying to collect enough signatures to trigger recall elections against seven Democratic senators, state officials said today.
................
The only Democratic senator who is not currently the subject of a recall bid is Spencer Coggs of Milwaukee.
................
The groups need about 16,000 signatures to force a recall election for a senator, Magney said.

In addition, Magney said a group has formed a political action fund to collect donations to support a recall election for Walker. But an official recall effort could not start until Walker, who took office last month, has served in the Capitol for at least a year.

That's why 35,000 people were at the capital before this hit the national news? Sorry buddy--those were Wisconsinites!!!
And what is it with this Saul Alinsky stuff--when the Tea Party organizes and holds a rally, it's patriotism. When anyone else does it (in 20x the numbers), somehow the mysterious "Alinsky factor" is at work. Huh Do you live on this planet, or just visit occasionally?
They only 16k. Each person can sign for each Senator.
Don't they have to sign for the senator in their senate district?

Can you say it? The big demonstration, where TPs were bused in (despite the snow) was in Madison on ***SATURDAY FEBRUAY 19***! And they didn't show.

Yep.
And each district requires a different number of signatures, based on the original turn out. Some senators need as many as 21,000 signatures to face a recall.

It would help if you knew what I was referring to, but I guess that's just wishful thinking.
