from Publicola: Protesters Stay in Capitol Building All Night
1. This week’s PubliCola ThinkTank asked if there was a lesson from Wisconsin for Washington State. It looks like about 50 people who object to the recent house budget proposals—which slash education and social service spending instead of corporate tax breaks—think so. The takeaway: Time for some civil disobedience here too. There was a mass sleep-in inside the Capitol building rotunda last night.

There is coverage on waliberals.org, daily kos has picked up the story. The PI has the story. The demonstrators are in touch with Democracy Now for additional coverage.
I am pretty busy with the occupation, demonstration and organizing, will be trying to post some info on smallblueplanet.org also.
Solidarity!
