I went to Madison to protest today. We went to the capitol and marched around it. There were many, many people there and many, many signs. Some of my favorites referenced Imperial Walkers from Star Wars and someone had even made a giant model of the Imperial Walker.
I've never been to any sort of protest before. It felt good to be walking, to be moving, to be shouting with so many people.
I really appreciated all of the signs that said "Remember, this is a peaceful protest." There were Tea Partiers there, apparently, but I only saw a few pro-Walker signs. I was not in every area of the protest, and there may have been more elsewhere.
I saw people from Minnesota, I saw people from many other states. There was a puppet, there was a man on stilts. There were policemen and firemen protesting too. There were people with all manners of signs, some tasteful, some less so. The capitol was packed, the streets directly around the capitol were packed, State Street was packed.
If you can make it up there, do join in.
