Tea Party Express overtakes union protesters at "Restoring Common Sense" tour kickoff

A strong gathering of conservatives rallied to defend Sen. Harsdorf in Hudson, Wisconsin this afternoon. He's one of the GOP state senators facing a recall election. From a Tea Party Express press release:

HUDSON, WI - The Tea Party Express kicked off their Wisconsin tour today with a large crowd of enthusiastic supporters who were treated to conservative singers, speakers, and entertainers who defended Sen. Harsdorf and advocated for fiscal responsibility.

Although a sizable group of protesters chanted insults and attempted to disrupt the event, they were quickly drowned out by the music of the Rivoli Revue, who kicked off the energetic rally with the Star Spangled Banner.

The "Restoring Common Sense" pre-election tour continues across the state to visit a total of nine cities. A large coalition has come together to support this effort, with national groups including Tea Party Nation, FreedomWorks, 60 Plus, Patriot Action Network, Grassfire Nation, American Grassroots Coalition, and the Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama contributing to the effort. The full tour schedule is posted at www.teapartyexpress.org.
Hudson is a pleasant town nestled on the St. Croix River on the border with Minnesota.
