1. Who all is planning to go?

The odds are at about 50-50 on my being able to make it.

I'd like to go but have to admit I haven't made it since the last year the event was held at
the county fair grounds in Baraboo. (One of the things holding me back being the unwhispered
question, "Where can I park?&quot

Here's a partial speaker's list:


Sen. Tammy Baldwin
Ruth Conniff
John Bonifaz
Ellen Bravo
Will Durst
Bill Fletcher Jr.
Ed Garvey
Jim Hightower
Mike McCabe
Barbara Miner
Christine Neumann-Ortiz
John Nichols
Mark Pocan
Chris Taylor
Scot Ross
Sen. Bernie Sanders
Paul Soglin
Gordon Thayer
Mike Wiggins

6. I kind of miss the outdoor setting, the county fairgrounds

The "Native Rights" break-out session on opposition to G-Tac's open pit mine was really moving.

Here's Mike Wiggins, Jr addressing the whole assembly, a little earlier in the day:
