Today is a historic day for Wisconsin.....and America. [View all]

Well, ladies and gentlemen.....today will be a historic day. Tom Barrett is facing an uphill battle that may indeed be lost....or we may win in a landslide, hands down.

Regardless of the outcome, we must redouble our efforts against the tyranny that is threatening to stamp us into the ground all over again. We've seen what's happened already; the War on Women, the Patriot Act & its successors, SOPA/PIPA/CISPA/etc., the miserable failure in Iraq, the rise of the Tea Party(or TeCIA CoIntelParty, as I like to call them nowadays). the accelerated destruction of unions, the Crash of '08, etc.
With a Romney Presidency, things will only likely get worse. What scares me most about this scenario is if we end up seeing more unpatriotic traitors in the Supreme Court, like that fucking scumbag Scalia, we could be held back for maybe another decade or more even if Romney gets booted out after his first term.

There is still hope, however, as many have woken up to reality and people continue to become ever more active. And there are opprotunities to make things work out in our favor no matter who wins in the Badger State today. Today will be the true start, I feel, of the battle to save America.
Now is the time to realize our full potential. Do whatever you can to spread the word and help bring more people to our side. I know I will do everything I possibly can to help ensure an Obama victory in 2012.

On, Wisconsin!

And good luck to all you good people out there today. =)
