Wisconsin Republicans implode: Mass GOP recalls coming!

[XanaDUer]

It was the greatest victory for labor in decades. It was the beginning of a progressive revival in America. It will be the end of Republican control of the Wisconsin Senate. It is the beginning of the end for the anti-worker, anti-wages, anti-jobs, anti-benefits, anti-democracy, soon-to-be former Republican governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker.

I have to laugh when I watch befuddled cable pundits say: "Oh dear, I didn't realize collective bargaining is as American as apple pie"! Well, ladies and gentlemen, it is. The public overwhelmingly supports collective bargaining for American workers, including public workers! Oh, dear!!!

The Wisconsin gambit by Scott Walker and his Republican cohorts was a smashing victory for American workers and American labor, and a crushing defeat for the radical right. They won the battle in a way that dooms them to lose the war by a landslide.

Let's hope.

10. FYI Actblue is based in MASSACHUSETTS

not Wisconsin. Just sayin

[PeaceNikki]

13. Chris Larson sent an email asking for donations linking there.

So... that's what I am passing along.

[druidity33]

23. Act Blue raises money for all sorts

of Democratic causes and representatives/office-seekers. Of course they pay their staff, but so would any other organization you'd donate to.

:shrug:

26. Done! K&R

5. Hope is worthless. Action is what counts.

[ClassWarrior]

9. Hardly worthless. But action does count.

NGU.

[pacalo]

25. Action it is. Walked has stepped into a giant anthill.

[Jackpine Radical]

38. Hope is what gives people the energy to act.

Hopelessness is a major tool of the Plutocracy. How many people have you heard say "I don't vote; it doesn't matter. They're all the same. There's nothing I can do."

The great gift of the Egyptian people to Wisconsin was hope, and Wisconsin has amplified the gift and is passing it on to the rest of you.

6. Send Pizza

or sum thin

This is about to get VERY ugly for Wisconsin. I can't speak to how ugly it is about to be for people in other states. I'm too involved here.

But people here are about to be robbed. WE OWN THE ASSETS WALKER PLANS TO SELL AT PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR!

This summer during your visit to America's Vacationland, your next park visit is probably going to involve an entry fee and overnight pass for a KOCH INDUSTRY subsidiary.

21. Snyder made the same power play here.

Rammed an "emergency manager" bill through the other day. He can take over any city he pleases and install a city manager at whatever salary he pleases. The manager will then sell off municipal assets to the highest bidder.

[Lastactiongyro]

34. Recall then take then to court to get our assets back.

8. To quote a Madison protest speaker I heard...

"Keep hope alive..."

11. The Pundits have gotten their marching orders to give the credit

to Walker. Tweety was the dead giveaway today.

"THE Rs Won this. The Republican Governors won this election.

Tweety and Colleagues are ignoring the big big turnout
of Democrats in Ohio, INDIANA, Red State, Idaho RED RED STATE.

[ClassWarrior]

12. You give up based on the verbal twitches of Tweety?

:rofl:

NGU.

[OHdem10]

15. I have not given up, just reporting what is going on.

They must get the idea that Unions have power off the table.

"The Unions are on their death knell."

I have watched Democrats for too many years. They lie down
and roll over at the beckonning of the Media.

I am hopeful American People will continue the fight
they have started in Wisconsin.

[HereSince1628]

17. This is in OUR backyard, we get to do what we can.

We're not gonna turn down help, but we also aren't going to worry concerns from outside

[XanaDUer]

19. Lol!

:)

[doc03]

18. Just watched Tweety according to him it is all over they won

we lost, just take your ball and go home..

[Lastactiongyro]

35. screw tweety, this is war

[Enthusiast]

37. Tweety always has been a conduit

for corporate misinformation. His show in the 1990s was strictly and 'get Clinton' program.

[doc03]

14. Well I will hope but the reality is the American people have the

attention span of a cock roach. In a couple months it will be all forgotten by all but a few, I hope I am wrong. I got an e-mail this afternoon asking for my commitment to attend a protest called USA Jobs Party sponsored by Move ON at a union hall near me, those signed up for the event so far (1) myself.

[ClassWarrior]

16. Everyone else is probably in Madison.

NGU.

[old guy]

20. Just got home from gathering signatures for Harsdorf recall.

I live in a red township but am getting good results considering. Amery and Osceola getting very positive results and meetings are scheduled for Luck next week.(Eastern Polk Co.)

[old guy]

27. OOPS. Should have been western Polk Co.

Senior moment and the edit time expired.

[AllyCat]

28. I've sent info to my family in St. Croix Falls to go canvass. They sound excited.

[glinda]

30. If husband and I had gotten that house we made an offer on four yrs. ago, I would be out there door

to door helping. Shoot!

[Mister Ed]

33. Thank you! I hope you remind each signer to vote in Supreme Court election April 5th.

On April 5th tilt WI Supreme Court left!

Norman Goldman pointed this out on his radio show.

There is an election on April 5th for a Supreme Court Judge. If Kloppenburg (D) wins, the Wisconsin Supreme Court will be tilted left. Right now Pubs hold 1 seat over Dems.

This will give WI Dems a fighting chance during challenges to any of Walker's shenanigans.

Norms post: http://www.normangoldman.com/blog/blog-details.asp?BID=...

Kloppenburg's website is here: http://www.kloppenburgforjustice.com /

Interesting opinion: http://www.stevenspointjournal.com/article/20110228/SPJ...

Quote from above link: "A vote for Assistant Attorney General Kloppenburg is a vote against Gov. Scott Walker."

[old guy]

39. Yes. Being done.

[Xenotime]

22. It will be a long time before the GOP ever holds power in WI again.

[glinda]

31. I sure hope so but don't count on anything til they are all gone.

[Robbins]

24. WI

I just donated a little money to help the recall efforts there.I live on SSI so I can't send a whole lot but any money those upset all over the country can help.

- However, presently under hostile takeover by rightful owners......

[loudsue]

32. This is WAY premature. The battle is WAY not over. This has NOT been

a victory of any sort. What does this author want everyone to do? Sit back and drink champagne?

The battle has just begun, because the battle was abandoned by our side decades ago. It has to be a never-ending battle, and we can NEVER AGAIN sit back and relax and just appreciate the fruits of someone else's busted skull. It is a fact of human nature that the powerful, aggressive and greedy are ALWAYS going to try to take from the peaceful, well-balanced individual.

Labor allowed corruption and special interests into the highest levels of the labor unions, and then allowed labor unions to be demonized by a smirking reagan and his greedy lackeys.

Never again can labor allow corruption in our unions, and NEVER again can we let down our guard.

ESPECIALLY NOT TODAY WHEN THE BATTLE IS JUST NOW STARTING!!!

36. "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Hell no!"

[Bosso 63]

44. I stand corrected.

I like your signature line.

[underpants]

45. Likewise

I will use that one because it is spot on.

:hug:

[tabasco]

40. You mean all those pukes are going to lose their cushy govt jobs?

What a shame.

[XanaDUer]

43. And their government health care, too
