Thousands Rally Against Anti-Union Effort in Indiana 
-----------------------------------------------------



In Indiana, thousands of people rallied at the statehouse in
Indianapolis Thursday against measures that would weaken unions and
public schools. The head of Indiana's AFL-CIO, Nancy Guyott, addressed
the crowd above a banner reading "Hoosiers Standing Up for the Middle
Class."

Nancy Guyott: "Let's let the word go out to the Wall Street robber
barons, the out-of-state special interests, and the political
ideologues-who seem to care more about politics than people-that the
working men and women of Indiana have come here to take back the
people's house for the people of Indiana."

All but three Democratic members of the Indiana House remain in
neighboring Illinois to deny Republicans a quorum to vote on the
proposals.
