This is a very moving unedited POV video where Wisconsin firefighters, with bagpipes, march into the Capitol building and play several songs, including Amazing Grace and America The Beautiful. The rally crowd is intensely appreciative of their commitment for worker's rights and against Scott Walker's union-busting and War on the Poor antics.

This was amazing beyond words and I cried when videotaping parts of it. Tears of hopeful joy!

2. Absolutely!
It's impossible to show the emotion of the crowd as well as the complete honor of being part of this event, merely by accident.

The World is hopefully watching.

6. The Capitol is truly the people's house tonight
Governor Walker and the Koch Brothers need not apply.
