Wisconsin protests spread nationally via YouTube
Union protests that began in Wisconsin last week against Governor Scott Walker’s bill are still in full effect, with protesters uploading footage regularly to YouTube.

In the first video, a Wisconsin public middle-school student sings his original protest song, and in the second, people gather at the Washington State Capitol to offer a rousing rendition of “On Wisconsin” and show their solidarity. However, we’ve also seen voices on the other side of the issue, on YouTube. In this video, shot at a government building, members of the Texas Tea Party movement chant, “we support Walker!”
