Nearly 70,000 rally in Wisconsin

From the Wisconsin State Journal:

For a second straight Saturday, tens of thousands of protesters have filled the streets around the state Capitol in what organizers hope will be the largest day yet in the continuing struggle to stop Gov. Scott Walker's plan to essentially end collective bargaining rights for most public employees.
Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain said the number of protesters around the Capitol is on the scale of last Saturday's peak crowd of an estimated 68,000 and could swell even more for a 3 p.m. rally.
"We've had no problems," DeSpain said, adding that officers are again committed to keeping the Square "safe for democracy."
