In the district of state Sen. Kapanke (R), who's facing recall, the WI Dems picked up an Assembly seat that has been held by the GOP for the past 16 years! Dem Steve Doyle defeated Republican John Lautz for the Wisconsin District 94 Assembly seat!

Another step in the right direction!

Pronoblem Baalberith Exactly what should be happening. Cut funding and stop electing the RNC/DNC. Besides, that money could be put to better use than lining pockets in return for rhetoric and promises. Next up, stop tax dollars from funding their campaigns... we need a binding referendum question in every state to kill the primary. Then maybe we can get some for the people leadership instead of "for the sponsor".

US Uncut | Link to article and comments page

Gov. Snyder is taking corporate welfare to unprecedented new levels.

"After the new tax incentives started, Whirlpool announced it would soon be moving its Evansville and Fort Smith, Indiana, plants to Mexico, laying off another 1,200 workers and leaving up to 1,500 more out of jobs...And, like General Electric, Whirlpool's effective tax rate for 2010 will be zero percent."

While the country watched the protests in Wisconsin spill into the State Capitol Building, Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder was passing a controversial bill that many consider a direct attack on the constitutional rights of the citizens of Michigan.
