Michael Moore to Wisconsin Workers: All America Thanks You

By Tula Connell

For the third straight weekend and 20th straight day, tens of thousands of workers are rallying at the state Capitol in Madison, Wis., for the right of public employees to bargain for good middle-class jobs. Filmmaker Michael Moore joined the crowd and is on stage now, saying:

All America thanks you.
