The media is buzzing with anticipation as the big day kicks off. No one knows what this day will bring as of yet, but everyone has an opinion. Here’s a round up of coverage as it stands right now:

CNN quotes organizers as saying “There will be tens of millions from coast to coast.”

The New York Times reports on employers who are bracing for the shock. The NYT also reports on other unrelated workers rallies around the world.(Reg. required)

Telemundo.com visitors voted in a poll and believe that the national anthem should be sung in English (41%) or that the Spanish version “is offensive (31%), while Univision.com visitors answered the question “What should be done on May 1st?” with an overwhelming 61% saying “a total strike”.

The LA Times
published the march route for their city’s protest and talks about the businesses in the midst of the route that are preparing to be affected.

MSNBC.com visitors are voting overwhelmingly against the rallies.

Spain’s “El Mundo” invites those of us living in the U.S. to opine about how our daily lives are being affected by the strike. (Spanish)

The co-founder of an anti-immigration group in Connecticut demanded Wednesday that government officials investigate the “disproportionate” hiring of “Hispanics” at McDonald’s restaurants after presenting what he had privately described to group members as his “MexDonald’s” study.
Paul F. Streitz, a marketing consultant and author from Darien, issued his call after recovering from being hit in the head with a cream pie thrown by an unidentified white man, who immediately ran from the room Streitz had rented in the West Hartford Public Library.

The author of the “assault” is described as “an unidentified white man”.
