Here’s my video from last year on this day and the video from the Wisconsin Day Rally on Saturday.
So, remember this . . . for me, this was the first thing I video taped and I called it “Monday”, having no idea that this would go on for weeks. My most vivid memory of the day is when I was moving to go catch some video of them marching around the capital and one of the organizers looked at me said “It worked!”. I just smiled. Yes, yes it did.
This is just a sampling of what I taped that day – I need to go back and look at it to see what else I might have.
This is the video from this weekend with Mahlon Mitchell, John Nichols, State Representative Peter Barca, Leland Pan, myself, Adam Porton, Charity Schmidt and John Peck – with Ben Manski and EriKa Wolf as emcees.
