www.opednews.com
The Wisconsin recall election was the first major test of the new era in American politics. That new era began in January of 2010 when the US Supreme Court ruled in 'Citizens United v. FEC' that the political voice of We The People was no longer as important as the voices of billionaires and transna...

Barbara With A big show. That's all this is to MAKE us think KK is working for us. After my complaint that he is working for the voting machine companies and the corporations, he had to "show" that he was "working" for "us". Think about it, the police set up early, he was planning it....

Excellent footage, Nirtana! I think you captured the flavor of the day very well. Also, your video shows quite well the layout of the parking lot. We were prohibited from walking up to people in the parking lot "for safety reasons" even if ...there were no moving vehicles in or enterring the parking lot and there were plenty of empty parking spaces. I was asked to move away from a window when another volunteer was video recording me because I was "obstructing the view" of the police officer inside the building even though there are cameras monitoring the entire parking lot. Another police officer asked me to leave the area near the exit door when I was on a phone call and there were no voters to be seen. I wasn't polling anyone, just standing in the shade while answering a phone call. The officer said I had papers in my hand (they were a note book and a copy of a letter from the GAB) so he couldn't be sure I wasn't polling people. These are just a few examples of the "welcome" we received at that site.See More

Jeannie Dean Yah, my peeps, they didn't want you doing exit polls in Butler Village...the ONE PLACE they didn't allow EDA to do their exit polls, wouldn't ya' know it, is the one place we needed them the most to verify the 12:00am - 12:20 shift in votes from Sandy Pasch to Darling.
