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!!

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 was the beginning of my journey
This very sweet bus driver was making sure we knew how to find the bus to get back to our cars. The guys in the hot green coats were our friends the snow plow drivers from Oshkosh. So great to be able to say thank you to them face to face rather than as I drive down a clear road after a huge storm! We heard "thank you! thank you!" shouts from the crowd of 70,000 all day. Thank you firefighters, service men and women, who are standing with us!
