It's Time to Take Out the Trash! (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=193689507320262)

Date: Sunday, March 6
Time: 1:00pm - 4:00pm

Location:
Capitol Square in Madison, Wisconsin

65 Attending (So Far)




It's not about partisanship or protests, but pride.

It is time to take out the trash... literally. In true Flash Mob fashion, on Sunday at exactly 1300 hours (1:00 pm for you non-military types) we will do an extensive police call (pick up the trash) around the capitol square. Regardless of the state the grounds are in, we will do this as both a literal and symbolic way to show our respect for our home.
TEA Partiers know how this is done. It is time to show OUR pride for OUR state OUR way and be the example.
Even if you cannot attend, please share this and invite all of your sane friends who share our love of Wisconsin.

No signs, no screaming, just a necessary cleaning.


Flashback:

Officials say it'll cost $7.5 million to clean up glue, tape, posters left from protesters (http://www.fox6now.com/news/witi-20110303-capitol-cleanup-costs,0,5141893.story?track=rss)

Madison, Wisconsin — nicknamed Madtown — launched the fight between public-employee unions that want to continue the status quo, and taxpayers concerned over debt.

They backed off that $7.5 million number really fast.

But whose bright idea was it to put marble in the Capitol to begin with? That stone is expensive to maintain even under the best of conditions. Why couldn't they settle for drywall, like the rest of us?

We'll see. Mable is pretty darn expensive.

"Very Limited" Restoration might cost $350,000
