I saw Amy Goodman speak today.
Amy was the keynote speaker at the Midwest Renewable Energy Association's 26th Annual Energy Fair.
She spoke of everything from Charleston to Palestine, from the Keystone XL Pipeline to Pacifica Radio to the UN's hypocrisy on climate change. She spoke for nearly 90 minutes (scheduled for 60) using notes only when she was quoting others. Her speech was from a moral and ethical perspective, moving and insightful. She tied it all together around the theme of taking back our freedom of the press from those who currently control it.
I was particularly pleased that Amy got a standing ovation before she began her remarks. Clearly the 1,000 or so in attendance were aware of her work and grateful for her journalistic integrity. This was likely the largest gathering of left-leaning folks in Wisconsin today.
Oh, by the way, the Portage County Democratic Party had a booth. When I checked at 6:30 p.m. they were all out of Bernie buttons and bumper stickers, although there were still plenty of Ready for Hillary buttons and stickers remaining.
