Kelly Vinehout and Douglas Smith: Open letter to the people of Wisconsin
http://wispolitics.com/index.iml?Article=230054
"Although we are very private people, we decided to write this letter because, just as you had a right to learn the contents of your Governor’s proposed bill, you have a right to know the truth of what happened during the three weeks your Senators worked in Illinois. We witnessed first-hand how these Senators never stopped working from the moment they made the heart-breaking decision to leave the state they love. They made many personal sacrifices because every week they received tens of thousands of messages from their constituents pleading with them to not return." - Kelly Vinehout and Douglas Smith

"Mike Tate, head of the Democratic Party in Wisconsin, put a finer point on the same complaint. "This is not political posturing. The governor has broken the law," Tate said, responding to questions. According to Tate, engaging in third-party coordination of independent expenditures—provided by Americans for Prosperity and used to promote a pro-Walker agenda—is a Class 1 Felony. "This is stuff that requires major financial and civil penalties and substantial jail time.""
