Nat Godley Reporting

Report on Saturday at the Capitol: We arrived later than planned, after the noon rally was done, but there was still a massive line for the shuttle at Dick's Sporting Goods at East Towne Mall, and the Capitol square was still packed when we got there. While I finished up my sign, a Deutsche Welle cameraman took a picture/movie of my daughter proudly showing hers! We walked round the Capitol once, handing out Anna Stadick's homemade cookies, then went inside, stopping at Cory Mason's office to drop off the letter for the 14 Democratic Senators and ended up doing a phone interview with the Racine Journal-Times. My kids thought the Capitol festooned with signs and filled with chanting and drumming protestors was spectacular. Then back out for a chilly rally, which was so packed I couldn't even tell where the stage was, let alone see it! Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine is playing Monday, along with a bunch of others; WEAC seems to be organizing that. Smaller rally tomorrow, inside the Capitol; rumors that Bill Clinton may speak.
