Another day begun, early inside the State Capitol building in lovely Madison. Things started out slowly, as I'm beginning to understand is par for the course. Myself and a group of hardcore protesters filed in along with some early, bleary-eyed yet sharp dressed state employees. I select my spot for the morning on the ground floor center rotunda. I'm no more than ten pages into the novel I'm reading when a reporter from Milwaukee asks me for an interview which I accept. Half an hour later it's a stringer from a northern WI news crew asking the same. Then a radio interview for MIT student radio in Manhattan. And on and on. I'm completely caught by surprise that I am receiving so much attention so soon. Kind of weird too actually, as I'm not very used to reporters and cameras focusing on me. Suddenly I realise I need to figure out a way to be a media spokesperson and consultant because I'm in this alone.
Well, perhaps I shouldn't say alone as at least a hundred people a day come up to speak with me, take a picture and such. Towards the end I think it is these supporters who will keep me going when things get really tough. In solidarity I thank you all.
On Wisconsin! FORWARD!!!
