The walk goes 10 miles today to Chippewa Falls. Will be presenting the last half of the presentation again today twice, at 1 PM in Chippewa and at 6 PM in Eau Claire.
Have already presented this three times, including yesterday in Stanley, WI, at the Stanley Historical Society, an impressive museum. Several townspeople attended on short notice including the mayor and a town councilwoman. Questions following the session were mostly along the lines of “yes we agree with you but what do we do about all this?” We explained that in addition to getting them the presentation and more background info that we intended to bring this message to college campuses and to those of high school age.
Our town hall meeting at Owens-Whithey was quite amazing, as it saw great interest from politically oriented townsfolk, including the mayor. One fellow was very inquisitive and critical of our message, and asked plenty of good questions, not all of which were adequately answered, in my opinion. The meeting, however, was a resounding success, and people responded with a very long involved QA session.
Abbotsford the night before, which saw my presentation debut, was another great evening filled with questions from politically minded citizens. One attendee was a constitutional law student. Another was a town councilwoman, and another a Ron Paul fan, John, from Eau Claire.
Kudos to Chris Rye and Corey from Stevens Point have put together 3 great videos which you can see on this website and YouTube. Many of our townmeetings can be found on YouTube, some dozen or two in all.
Yesterday on the walk out of Stanley, we stopped by a bar overrun by a biker’s gathering. Stepping up to the porch brought some apprehension, but our biker friends, some 50 in all, were unusually receptive to receiving pocket constitutions, even asking for extras for their buddies! Our message of taking back this country and “power to the people” was music to their ears. Amongst them was an ex state senator that Tony Bellanti, our activist friend from Milwaukee, spoke to about a mutual friend in the WI political establishment. To my great astonishment we discovered that our biker friends are a natural ally in the fight for freedom in America.
A crisp Sunday morning, following a 43 deg F night. Fortunately found a wifi hotspot at the Latigo and Lace in Cadott, WI, otherwise this blog may not have been written for another few days. Parked here last night, rolling our RVs into the middle of a parking lot filled with cars from the nearby horseshoe contest.
Now that’s Wisconsin!
