Watch the "Speak-Out for Workers' Rights" (Sat. March 12, Barrymore Theatre, Madison) here: http://grittv.org/?p=13928
Speakers included Jim Hightower, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, Rep. Tammy Baldwin, Laura Flanders, Ed Garvey, and The Progressive magazine's Ruth Conniff and Matthew Rothschild.
Well, the GRITtv.org link is apparently no longer active. To see the remarks of Rep. Dennis Kucinich at the Barrymore (run time about 15 minutes), please see YouTube video at progressive.org.
