When the people collect almost double the required signatures to get you out of office, you should be concerned. Walker and his cronies better hope that sweet, sweet Koch money flows like Mississippi in the Spring. They’re gonna need it!
That Scott Walker was even pretending to honor Dr. King is way beyond hypocritical, it is downright insulting.
It was November 15, 2011, a day that I will never forget. It was night-time and we were all waiting until midnight so we could start signing recall petitions. The recall had officially started and it was not going to be an easy task. We had two months to collect over 540,000 valid signatures.
Timothy Russell, who is considered by all who know Scott Walker to be in his inner circle, allegedly embezzled funds. According to Investigator Robert Stelter with the Milwaukee County District Attorneys Office, Timothy then used the money to buy or renew some campaign domain names.
Three of Scott Walkers friends were arrested and that charges would be announced later in the day. Sure enough, as the day went on and I learned more and more, it became clear this was a major story.
Representative Nass decided to throw out the Constitution and, as recently as October, has even had people removed for holding signs silently. His committee meeting was today and I’m waiting to get arrested on the orders of Nass.
17 days left to collect about 32,000 signatures for the Scott Walker recall – and activists in Wisconsin have already collected 507,000 signatures in less than a month. 28 days, to be exact. That’s over 18,000 signatures a day, roughly 750 signatures an hour, every hour. Hated much, Walker?
As 2011 comes to a close, conservatives are still trying to push failed policies. This is a list of 15 individual conservatives that pose a significant threat to American society as we move into 2012 and beyond.
The motel has a Gumby-like character welcoming guests to the Four Winds Motel and currently appearing on the marquee below this colorful sign is the aforementioned shout out to the recall effort of Governor Walker.
I agree with this ‘Person of the Year’ choice. But as I read the story and the attached sub articles, I realized something shocking. The article moves from the revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt, Greece, Spain, and elsewhere overseas to Occupy Wall Street. Unfortunately, in this they missed a key piece of the pie making this story unable to be considered on ‘The Protester’ and more on ‘Selected bits and pieces of the protests.’
How do FREEDOM! loving conservatives square their worship of the Holy Constitution with their ongoing efforts to undermine the very foundations of democracy?
As many people know the recalls of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch are officially underway. These, combined with the wins in Ohio, will set an example across the country of what the people will and will not tolerate.
Articles are shared on Facebook as quickly as a press of a button. But this creates obstacles for the people who want to control the message. So what do they do now? Well, in some instances, they take the source of information out.
This past Tuesday, the Republican Party experienced a backlash from voters against their agenda. Included in this rejection were the successful recalls of several Republican politicians. And not too long ago, the people of Wisconsin recalled several state level Republicans and intend to recall Governor Scott Walker
Herman Cain’s run for President has been nothing if not unique. He’s an African American Republican. That’s fairly unique. He’s a cancer survivor. That might not be so unique, but it breeds sympathy and empathy.
This past week, Governor Walker called the Wisconsin State Legislature back to Madison claiming that he wanted to focus on job creation. He issued an executive order labeling it the ‘Back to Work Wisconsin’ special session.
It seems everywhere we look there are more examples of cronyism in Wisconsin. Most of it is in job appointments, but a couple more links were revealed today that are a bit different from normal and perhaps more concerning. They also hit very close to home.
It seems Scott Walker cannot do anything without people holding him accountable. He goes out to eat and gets booed out of the restaurant. He holds an event at the mansion and there are always protesters and a Floatilla. Last night was no exception.
Last Tuesday, I, and four others, were brutally assaulted by police for silently filming our legislature. Despite this being my constitutional right, not only did these officers disregard their oath to uphold the Constitution, they added brutality to the mix, creating an explosive situation.
In the days of Anonymous, Lulzsec, and several other groups that have a similar cause, a new group emerged today. Seemingly inspired by the famous web activism group Anonymous, Wisconsin Legion formed to help bring light to Wisconsin politics
