March for solidarity takes place against a clandestine meeting between state senators from Wisconsin and corporate campaign donors

From a Common Cause CommonBlog article, which offers reader commenting:
"Wednesday, March 16, was a day for solidarity as hundreds of people marched on 601 13th Street NW in Washington, D.C, an arbitrary address for a clandestine meeting of state senators from Wisconsin with corporate campaign donors.  The same senators who not two weeks ago chose to rip the right to collectively bargain from the hands of teachers, public transportation employees, and other unionized public servants.  This was not a difficult decision made to balance the budget, but a calculated attack on the major donors of the opposition, funded by corporations who benefit directly from limiting the rights of workers to make demands of their employers."
