In the third week of daily protests against Republican Governor Scott Wallker's attack on the middle class, a crowd of 70,000 Wisconsin citizens gathered in Madison, Wisconsin. Firefighters, police, electricians, teachers, nurses, friends and neighbors marched in solidarity. Filmmaker Michael Moore joined us. The crowd was somewhat smaller than last week as many were working in districts throughout the state to gather recall petitions against 8 Republican Senators.
This large wild Russian Olive tree caught my eye as it's contrasting silvery leaves stood out against the amber autumn limbs of the surrounding maples. If you look closly to the far left there is a gravestone present. There was an old cemetery beyond those trees that I later came across and studied some of the markers with the earliest ledgible stone having a date back to 1820. Some of the gravetones where so worn that I'm sure the dates must have gone back even further.
