John Nichols of 'The Nation' addressed a capacity crowd at the IBEW Union Hall in Tucson, Arizona in February. In this segment of his talk, he discusses how corporate media tried to bury the news about the Wisconsin uprising and how-- the vampires-- the protesters kept coming back. At about 6 minutes, he tells how Wisconsin Democrats left the state to stop a vote on anti-union legislation. Following that is an inspiring story of solidarity.
