As the unethical and possibly illegal behavior of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and his administration comes under public scrutiny with the release of documents relating to the first John Doe investigation, the creativity of citizens who have maintained a three-year vigil in the Wisconsin State Capitol against Walkers policies has flourished.
This week, veteran protester Genie Ogden installed a display/information table on the first floor of the Capitol rotunda offering information about the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and its influence on Wisconsin state government.

At the center of Ogdens ALEC display is a miniature diorama of the Capitol with a hunk of cheese on top, surrounded by palm trees and protest signs on toothpicks stuck into green and gold playdough.
Its an homage to the days when tens of thousands of people occupied the Capitol for weeks, routinely marching around the building in support of workers rights as Fox News made every effort to depict them as violent protesters, using a video shot in California showing two men arguing, with palm trees in the background.
