80,000 Rally in Wisconsin to Save Collective Bargaining Rights 
---------------------------------------------------------------



In Wisconsin, some 80,000 people rallied on Saturday in the largest
protest to date in Madison against Republican Governor Scott Walker's
attempt to cut pay and eliminate collective bargaining rights for public
employees.

Ann Green, protester: "This is not about money, it's never been about
money. It's about the Republican Party, trying to squash Democrats,
trying to squash union rights. And I am sick of it."
