Scandal in Fitzwalkerstan: Top Donor Pleads Guilty in Money-Laundering Scheme to Aid Governor Walker | The Nation
"According to the criminal complaint, Gardner’s own donations exceeded the state’s $10,000 limit for contributions to a gubernatorial candidate. And Gardner also asked employees to make $5,000 contributions to Walker’s campaign, he then reimbursed them himself and the employees with company money.
It is against the law in Wisconsin for a donor to make political contributions in another person’s name. It is, as well, against the law for corporations to make political contributions." Read More| The Nation

Too Close to Call In Wisconsin, As Challenger Wrestles Walker Justice to a Virtual Tie | The Nation
Too Close to Call In Wisconsin, As Challenger Wrestles Walker Justice to a Virtual Tie | The Nation

RT @geoff9cow: "Too Close to Call In WI, As Challenger Wrestles Walker Justice to a Virtual Tie" John Nichols http://tinyurl.com/3fey4ch...
"Unknown sixth months ago, unviable six weeks ago, first-time candidate JoAnne Kloppenburg has wrestled a senior justice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court to an electoral tie. And in so doing she has opened a remarkable new chapter in the story of the political uprising that began when Republican Governor Scott Walker launched his assault on public employee unions, public schools and local democracy in Wisconsin."
"There could be weeks, even months of wrangling over ballots and counts. But one result has already been confirmed: The referendum on Walker’s policies has sent an important signal. When a candidate who is not given a chance ties a senior justice on the state Supreme Court, when a newcomer ties one of the most entrenched political players in the state, and when these results can be linked to fury at a governor’s policies, that governor has nothing to celebrate. Something is changing in Wisconsin. A new politics is taking shape. And JoAnne Kloppenburg has been a beneficiary – along with the battered but unbeaten state of Wisconsin."

Nationwide Students Oppose Budget Cuts | The Nation
Nationwide Students Oppose Budget Cuts | The Nation
Posted on Twitter: thenation The Nation
The #student-led movement opposing budget cuts is growing in America. http://bit.ly/eUDk2t #USuncut #austerity
"Students at Arizona universities rallied to oppose $235 million in cuts to their universities’ budgets, and a labor-student coalition in Florida led about 300 protesters through the streets to protest Gov. Scott’s proposal to cut 5 to 10 percent (about $3 billion) from public education.
People often ask me why students in the US haven’t organized a massive resistance like the one we’re witnessing in the UK. My answer to that is there is resistance in this country. It isn’t centralized and overwhelming…yet, but it is most definitely rising to the surface and beginning to spill over."
