Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker gets mic checked by nearly 70 people during a speech at Chicago’s Union League Club on Nov 3rd. 

From Stand Up! Chicago:

Our protestors attending the breakfast comprised almost half the total number of attendees. After settling into breakfast, and listening to the Governor’s opening remarks, they delivered a prepared statement via “human mic.”

“It is an outrage and a shame,” the statement began, “that we sit at this fancy breakfast to listen to someone who has wreaked havoc on the lives of working families. Governor Walker has vilified unions and insulted the 99% who depend on living wages and adequate benefits to support their families, while on the payroll of the right wing billionaire Koch brothers.”

Walker called upon the rest of the crowd to drown out the voices of the protestors with loud clapping, but they managed to complete their statement and project their voices above the noise.

Long live the people’s voice!

so much awesome.

Get it, Chicago. I love how often this happens to poor Scotty.
