BTW you're only on ignore in the other thread. College kids are workers and also believe in standing up for the rights of labor. Hell I worked 3rd shift in college to scrape by and pay rent, tuition, and books.

Who cares! What happens in one state affects the rest these days. And since they'll be entering the workforce soon, if they haven't already, they have every right to voice their opinions.

I guess you failed to see the link in the OP say that labor union member from other states are flooding the capitol but the OP refusing to believe that not all those demonstrators are from Indiana.

I wonder how many of those college students will vote in the next election. They did it for the first time in 2008 and look what they got.

We will see, but I think they'll be voting for the same guy and if I were you, I'd just get used to him being your President for at least the next 2 years.

lmao. We are stuck with the man who wanted to be the king of hope and change but turned out to be the clueless one with clueless advisors for the next two years. This POTUS is a lame loser walking.

Got a cite for this? That is more than the entire state's budget. If they spent $150 Billion, there wouldn't be a budget crisis in California.

Wow, the thugs showing up really did well didnt it?

Then tonight thousands of the anti American unruly unions thugs stormed the WI statehouse like a bunch of raving lunatics.

The obstructionist anti American party wont get away with acting like this anymore.

Freedom of choice is coming to a union thug near you thanks to a Republican Governor.
