Jill Stein broke the law. Literally.

On Friday, Dr. Stein and her supporters joined hundreds of Wisconsinites at 
their State Capitol building. Together, they raised their voices in song. And 
broke the law.

They literally broke the law. Faced with yet another act of collective defiance, 
the Scott Walker administration folded, and failed to enforce its new policy 
banning unpermitted rallies at the State Capitol.

On paper, as of Friday, any outdoor public gathering of more than 100 people 
required a permit, 72 hours notice, and payment of police costs. In practice, 
the freedom of assembly still rules in Wisconsin.  

Jill Stein went to Madison to support the First Amendment rights of 
Wisconsinites. But her visit was not limited to singing labor songs, and 
addressing the crowd at the State Capitol.

In one day, Dr. Stein conducted eleven interviews with national and local media. 
And she joined Matt Rothschild, editor of The Progressive magazine, in a public 
conversation about her campaign.  

You can see video footage from that discussion on Livestream or on this edited 
video provided by former Madison Alder Brenda Konkel (click here).

You should also tune in to Jill Stein's radio interview on "Sly in the Morning." 
As the campaign grows, the media requests keep coming in, and Dr. Stein is now 
conducting dozens of interviews weekly. But this radio interview was something 
special. To listen in, click here.

There will be more to come from Jill Stein's visit to Wisconsin. And she will 
continue to tour the country, building our insurgent campaign, and speaking out 
like no other political figure for the freedom of assembly and the interests of 
the 99%.
