Fighting Bob Fest is an annual Chautauqua featuring progressive speakers, networking opportunities, and entertainment. Fighting Bob Fest carries on the tradition of Robert “Fighting Bob” La Follette by providing a forum for progressive ideas on issues facing Wisconsin and the nation.

Public participation in government has tragically eroded, corporations dominate the policymaking process, and elected officials systematically neglect the public interest in favor of private ones. Freedom and justice are defended through education, and the exchange of ideas promotes solidarity among progressives. To this end, Fighting Bob Fest strives to provide citizens with a forum for democratic participation where frustrations with current policies can be constructively molded into calls to action.

We need help at this event all day starting at about 8 am to 5 pm. Again, we need volunteers to wear Bush, Cheney, Rice and Rumsfeld puppet heads and walk in a Chain Gang, to wear orange detainee jump suits and hoods and carry mock caskets, to carry impeachment signs and impeachment petitions and leaflet. The event should have 6,000 plus people. We want to add thousands of names to our impeachment petition and stimulate talk of impeachment. Our Impeachment table will run the whole day and we need volunteers to staff the table.

Chain Gang: 1 hr. shifts 8 am 10 am, 12 pm and 2 pm
Detainees: 1 hr. shifts same as above
Table: 1 hr. shifts on the hour from 8 am to 4 pm
