Wisconsin: We take our fight forward, we will not stand by and watch Walker give away our state.

[Firebrand Gary]

We must realize that these recall elections were stacked against us from the very beginning. We were never meant to win these anyhow, we won two and have SERIOUS issues with the seat currently held by Darling.

It takes big courage, really big courage to recall any person who has been elected to Government. You include that in this example of sheer corruption, fake candidates, the whole selling of the state and power outside influences.

You achieved more than you will ever know.

It's now time to have the conversation on the strategy to overturn Citizens United. Democracies are not supposed to be bought. These conservatives want to talk about originalism, lets talk originalism. Leveraging votes is not originalism.

1. Voting is not enough

Anyone who believes that the electoral process is the sole path to freedom and democracy will inevitably lose both freedom and democracy. If you truly love America, folks, voting is not enough.
It's time to start a grassroots VINE movement in America (Voting Is Not Enough). We must get the rest of our citizens to understand that ownership of democracy involves a lot more than filling out a ballot every once in a while. It will always be easy to rig the game so long as most people believe that its a game. Our freedom is not a game.

We just don't seem to have any recourse other than getting organized & (peacefully) getting in their faces en masse.

Welcome to DU, GoldenThunder!

8. Dear Justice Kennedy, please stop Citizens United. We don't stand a chance.

We all know where this is going. The amount of money that corporations can spend will far out weigh the doors that we can knock. Sir, I implore you to reconsider your vote on Citizens Untied.

We, the middle class do not have lobbyist, corporations or excessive amounts of money to leverage on elections. I believe you to be an honorable man that did not intend the consequences of Citizens United. We sure could use your help. In the end most of us live with the consequences of elections without questions, just so long as they are on a fair playing field.

Please help.

Just keep working.

Wisconsin. Congratulations. You did a great job. You won two more seats than you had going in. And Walker now has just enough rope to hang his entire party.

10. It is the people. Until they are sick enough of it they won't vote against Walker and

the Republicans. I just can't believe that they aren't at that point yet. I know that there are Republicans who are teachers, police, fire fighters and workers. These people have family and friends. It is just beyond me how anyone can even attempt to pull the lever of any Republican in that state. Not sure what it says for the people who do!

12. You're ignoring the weeks of news about republican corruption

[lunatica]

11. Winning two seats in the face of total corruption is practically a miracle

And it's a definite step in the right direction.

[malaise]

13. You're right but damn I wanted those three seats

:cry:
