Just arrived home from Madison
I got to see and actually hug several of the Fab 14 Senators that returned to Wisconsin and a welcome home of unbelievable numbers. We were right by the roped off area, so all 14 walked right beside us as well as Jesse Jackson, "Monk", Senator Kohl, John Nichols, etc.They were overwhelmed by 150-200,000 people. I didn't see Jon's parents, but did see 6 people from my school!! People everywhere in solidarity! Pictures when I catch my breath and warm up my fingers.

Dad back in Madison
Dad was down in Madison today. Walker was to give his Budget message. Dad was not allowed into the capitol because he needed an appointment! He was among the thousands who stood at each doorway trying to get in and then standing outside the building by the chambers where Walker was addressing "the world". I could hear the crowd chanting during the speech on the Public TV station.

Many people we know were here, but with 125,000 we didn't see anyone we knew but...
Junebug and Jesse's baker friend-walked down the capitol steps and he was just standing there. I talked to him a bit and told him who we were. Nice to see a familiar face. We did see Paul Soglin, former mayor of Madison again, and a few people from the press we recognized. Another amazing day in Madison trying to be a voice for the middle class and workers of Wisconsin. Haley and Bill visited for a couple days
Good to have a daughter and son-in-law spend some time in New Holstein! They like to shop their way here and back, with some cross country skiing, good pizza, white fish from Marquette, and discussions about the turmoil in Wisconsin! Thanks to Haley, I have my paper done and submitted for my grad class! Yeah!!Wednesday, February 23, 2011

Off to Madison!
Peter traveled to Madison to support Mom and all the public workers of Wisconsin who are being bullied. Governor Walker wants to save money for the state by stripping us of our collective bargaining rights. He was there on Wednesday and witnessed one of the biggest crowds of the week.
Mom, Andrea, went to Madison on Saturday and was among 70,000 who attended the rallies at the State Capitol Building. Oh, 1,300 were Walker supporters and 68,700 were AGAINST this so called "Budget Fix Bill."

And the crowds grew!
This is what it was like as we were marching (shuffling) around and around the capitol building. We were shoulder to shoulder.
