It was a year ago today that I first joined the protests at the Capitol.

Since that time I’ve been truly saddened by what the state government has been doing to my beloved Wisconsin. The recent stories about secret emails regarding the redistricting process perfectly illustrate the blatant power grabs by politicians who don’t listen to the constituents they represent, and the urgent need to remove them from office.

The fact that over a million signatures were collected to recall Governor Scott Walker in just a short two months has given me tremendous hope however. Hang in there Wisconsin.
