“The Vote at Risk: 40 Years After the Voting Rights Act”
Join us in Baraboo, Wisconsin on Saturday, September 10, 2005 to celebrate the 150th birthday of Robert M. “Fighting Bob” La Follette. We’ll also welcome the grassroots excitement of The People’s Legislature, and plan a course of action for political reform in Wisconsin. There will be speakers, music, and an enthusiastic crowd of progressives looking for new ways to improve upon the “experiment in democracy” that is Wisconsin.

The Fighting Bob Crew is providing free bus transportation between Fighting Bob Fest and Oshkosh. The bus will depart from the Winnebago Peace and Justice Center, directly across from Peace Park in downtown Oshkosh. The address is: 321 Market Street, Oshkosh WI 54901. The bus will leave Oshkosh at 8:00 am and arrive in Baraboo at 10:00 am. Following the celebration, the bus will leave Baraboo at 5:30 pm and arrive back in Oshkosh at 7:30 pm.
