From MoveOn.org:
Rally to Save the American Dream
In Wisconsin and around our country, the American Dream is under fierce attack. Instead of creating jobs, Republicans are giving tax breaks to corporations and the very rich—and then cutting funding for education, police, emergency response, and vital human services.
On Saturday, February 26, at noon local time, we are organizing rallies in front of every statehouse and in every major city to stand in solidarity with the people of Wisconsin. We demand an end to the attacks on worker's rights and public services across the country. We demand investment, to create decent jobs for the millions of people who desperately want to work. And we demand that the rich and powerful pay their fair share.
We are all Wisconsin. We are all Americans.
This Saturday, we will stand together to Save the American Dream. Be sure to wear Wisconsin Badger colors—red and white—to show your solidarity. Sign up today to join in!

UPDATE: Jim Hightower to speak at the Rally.
Some of you weren't able to attend the AFL-CIO sponsored march and rally, so MoveOn decided to offer an additional opportunity to those people to demonstrate for the fine workers in Wisconsin and against the scorched earth tactics of Governor Walker. We will be holding a rally in front of the South Steps of the Capitol and join similar rallies across the country in support of the demonstrators in Wisconsin. We will have signs and chants and fervor.
