On Saturday, February 19th residents of the Appleton area congregated to voice their opinions on Governor Scott Walker’s proposed bill. While the large rallies are in Maidson, WI the smaller gathering of the residents of  Appleton had a great presence.

Although not all of us Lawrentians may be from the Wisconsin area, having the amazing opportunity to witness, firsthand, the right to assembly and the freedom of speech is inspiring.

Annie Kaiser is a senior economics and government major at Lawrence University. Happily born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Annie also has been called a "nomad" by her friends. In the past two years she has lived on both coasts, spending a year at school in Claremont, California and living in Georgetown for a summer internship with a political web-blog in Alexandria, Virginia. She played Varsity basketball and soccer throughout college, and has decided boxing will be her go-to workout after her collegiate athletic retirement. Annie's favorite activities include dining in fine restaurants, debating about politics, memorizing the presidents in order, painting, keeping up with celeb gossip, seatfiling at award shows, making lists of interesting words, and reading classic novels. She can not get enough of Jack Johnson music, new challenges, and Chuck Bass. Her motto: put your mind to it, and do it.
