Michigan’s Capitol looks more like a military compound today as hundreds of State Police officers patrol in and around the building despite the fact that there’s not a protester in sight.
It not only shows the continued contempt Republicans have for Michigan’s public as they try to keep them away from the Capitol as they finish jamming through their damaging “Right to Work” legislation, but it makes one wonder just how much money the state is spending on this massive police presence while they do it?
My advice for the thousands of you coming to the Capitol tomorrow: Be here. Be loud. Be safe.
Below is a sample of the photos we were able to gather this morning (click to enlarge):

NO ONE SHOULD BE FORCED TO JOIN A UNION AND FORCED TO PAY DUES. MANY ARE RUN BY THUGS.
HOORAY FOR MIKE MORNINGSTAR AND HIS COMMENTS. I FULLY AGREE.
THE OPERATIVE WORD IS FORCED! NO, never!

Soon we will rise up and the change that will take over the capital will be nothing like the republicans have every seen. Without a doubt they will loose the house senate and the governors seat in 2 years

Interesting take on this.
Please show me where someone is FORCED to join a union.
You realize, of course, that they are jobs out there that have no unions. That means that you can always take a job without union representation. See how you’re NOT forced to join a union?
