"He’s the longest-serving state legislator in the nation and a WWII veteran and he was verbally assaulted on the Wisconsin state Senate floor.

Wisconsin state Senate Republicans trying to pass the voter suppression bill lashed out at Sen. Fred Risser when he tried to speak out against the legislation.

Risser retaliated, “In my 50 years, I’ve never had anyone cut me off!”

"The bill, which is being rushed through the Wisconsin Republican legislature, is part of a long-term strategy by Republicans to deny voting rights to nonwhites and the poor. This goes back to the Jim Crow era, but is accelerating again with the control of many legislatures and governorships by GOP majorities." buzzflash|Truthout

John Nichols: Effort to thwart voter suppression necessary and appropriate

John Nichols: Effort to thwart voter suppression necessary and appropriate





Posted on Facebook by | The Capital Times

John Nichols gives a little history lesson on voter rights in Wisconsin. Expanding access used to be a bipartisan issue in this state, so the fact that the Legislature passed the voter ID bill today shows how much our GOP legislators are being corralled by national conservative groups.

The voter ID bill is not a Wisconsin idea. It is an imported proposal, designed by national strategists on the right — and their corporate allies — as part of a broad strategy to undo the political progress of the past century. Full Article Here

Former Planned Parenthood Board Member Alberta Darling Votes to Gut Planned Parenthood Health Services for Women

Former Planned Parenthood Board Member Alberta Darling Votes to Gut Planned Parenthood Health Services for Women

Posted on Facebook by | Sandy Pasch for State Senate

"Sen. Darling puts ideological purity above women's health care just to cater to the extreme political bosses in Madison, and that's never been what the people of the 8th senate district look for in their representative," said Pasch. "We want reasonable leaders who won't let hardline politics interfere with important priorities like women's health. Darling no longer represents the values of our district, and it's time to elect a senator who does."

Sen. Darling's continued departure from the sensible middle to the radical right comes as she maintains her deafening silence while the Walker Administration refuses to defend critical domestic partner protections, such as allowing people to visit loved ones in the hospital or take time to care for a sick or injured partner."

Ohio Legislative Black Caucus, clergy speak out against Senate Bill 5
www.cleveland.com
One of the most poignant moments belonged to the Rev. Marvin McMickle of Antioch Baptist Church, who told how a great-uncle was shot dead in Kentucky in 1930 for demanding to register to vote.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- "More than 150 people filled the basement of Olivet Institutional Baptist Church on Saturday to hear legislators denounce what has come to be known as Ohio Senate Bill 5, saying it strips away collective-bargaining rights of public employees and will disproportionately affect the black community.

It was a town-hall meeting setting, and many of the comments drew standing ovations from audience members at the East Side Cleveland church. Local speakers were joined by a Wisconsin legislator who is embroiled in a similar fight in her state. She said the issues cross state lines." Full Article | cleveland.com

Take a lunch break against tax breaks! | US Uncut

Have you been to Madison, Wisconsin recently? Its an amazing town.

Everywhere you turn in Madison, you're surrounded by people who are overcome with righteous passion for a just cause. You'll see "SOLIDARITY" banners in storefront windows. Artists on sidewalks all along State street protest the Walker regime with creative displays. College students are out in the streets wearing red shirts, talking excitedly about the good fight. Colorful chalk drawings cover the area around the state capitol, where passersby are offered a bullhorn by a young dude named Miles, who encourages people to freely speak their mind about the Walker administration and the painful cuts everyone faces.

Cars driving by honk out the this-is-what-democracy-looks-like rhythm as they pass protesters. Musicians plug in amplifiers and beat on drums on the capitol grounds as activists and locals mingle with one another, talking excitedly about recalling the politicians that let them down.

Even the cops are sympathetic to the protesters. Madison is a city that has embraced public demonstrations as a way of life. It is a city united by a cause, where everyone has a stake, and where everyone is engaged, involved and paying attention.

I want everyone to embrace the spirit of Madison, and spread it around in their own city. How do we do that? Easy. Full Article | US Uncut

Assembly rejects requirements for communities to disinfect their water | Defend Wisconsin

"A study by the Marshfield Clinic Foundation tested water in 14 communities between 2005 and 2007 and found that 34 of the 36 wells tested positive for viruses. None of the communities chlorinated their public water systems.

Researcher Mark Borchardt, a research microbiologist who now works for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, testified this spring before a state Senate committee that his work measured both household tap water and rates of illness.

"In other words, the communities that had the highest virus levels in their tap water were also the sickest," Borchardt told senators.

Borchardt said that the benefits of disinfecting water outweigh the cost.

His estimate: The expense of disinfection would cost all of the communities $1.3 million in equipment, supplies and testing over five years. But citing figures from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, health care savings would total $2.3 million or more."Assembly rejects requirements for communities to disinfect their water | Defend Wisconsin

Waukesha County Gets May 26 Recount Extension - Waukesha, WI Patch

"Waukesha County doubled its number of tabulators starting this morning and moved its operations to the larger cafeteria in the Waukesha County Administration Building to increase the number of election reporting units being processed simultaneously. Nowak said the expanded operation was "going well."

Votes in the Villages of Lisbon and Merton were being recounted this morning. Tomorrow will be the city of Waukesha.

Waukesha County is continuing to livestream its recount. The new camera angle in the move to the cafeteria, however, only shows the head table for the judge, board of canvassers, court reporter and lead campaign representatives, and does not show the tabulation and recount activity.

The recount of the City of

Brookfield's votes finished on Saturday, and included disputes about ballot bags that were not entirely sealed, setting up a

possible legal challenge to counting those votes. "See Full Article | WI Patch

Know what is going on here. The Democrats are challenging EVERYTHING, even if a ballot has a little smudge on it. How do I know this? Because I spent 5 1/2 hrs as a observer with complete access to the tally room. The goal is to have enough challenges to take this whole election to the courts and if assigned to a Madison liberal judge, sheeesch, maybe have the whole election thrown out and done all over again.
When the liberal Democrats can't win at the ballot box, they go to the courts. People with common sense (conservatives) need to fight back!!!!!!!

An observer for Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg objected Thursday morning to the security of bags holding Supreme Court ballots from the City of Brookfield because of a gap opening on the ballot bags. Poorly sealed bags or torn bags appear to be a common problem, but they were evident on five of six Brookfield bags that were counted first thing Thursday.

Kloppenburg Recall Campaign Calls in Attorney to Monitor Recount | Today's TMJ4 - Milwaukee, Wisconsin News, Weather, Sports, WTMJ | Local News

Posted by | Heidi Maria Brown

WAUKESHA--On Friday, day three of the statewide recount of the Supreme Court race, the Kloppenburg recall effort called in their attorney, Michael Maistelman, to monitor the recount in Waukesha County.

Earlier Friday a clerk discovered that one of the bags full of ballots from the Town of Delafield was not properly sealed. The Kloppenburg campaign said that means there was the possibility that people could have had access to the bag of ballots. On Thursday, a different bag containing hundreds of ballots wasn't recorded on the poll inspector's log. That bag was also from the Town of Delafield.

Despite that, poll officials promise the numbers all added up to those obtained on election night. Still, the Kloppenburg campaign sent Maistelman to oversee the recount."Full Article | WTMJ | Local News

The Wisconsin Witch Hunt Goes National

http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=43220

04/29/2011

"On May 1, left-wing vigilantes will target companies across the country that have committed a mortal sin: sending donations to GOP Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin. Rest assured, such intolerable acts of political free speech will not go unpunished by tolerant Big Labor activists. They're calling for both a national boycott of Walker's corporate donors and a coordinated sticker vandalism campaign on GOP-tainted products.

The Wisconsin Grocers Association is bracing for the anti-Walker witch hunt. Anonymous operatives have circulated sabotage stickers on the Internet and around Wisconsin that single out Angel Soft tissue paper ("Wiping your (expletive) on Wisconsin workers"), Johnsonville Sausage ("These Brats Bust Unions") and Coors ("Labor Rights Flow Away Like A Mountain Stream"). Earlier this week, a "Stick It To Walker" website boasted photos of vandalized Angel Soft tissue packages at a Super Foodtown grocery store in Brooklyn, N.Y.

This destruction of private property is illegal. Not that it matters to anti-Walker protest mobsters, who trampled Wisconsin's Capitol at an estimated $5 million in security, repair and cleaning costs to taxpayers. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, "The identity of the backers of the sticker effort is unknown, although many assume it is being orchestrated by public employee unions. This latest effort follows boycotts organized by members of the Wisconsin State Employees Union AFSCME 24."Full Article Here

Posted on Facebook by Defend Wisconsin | Defend Wisconsin

"GOP leadership says there is a 'possibility' the collective bargaining bill will be inserted into the 2011-2013 state budget. It could be "added as an amendment once it hits the Assembly floor for debate, or a finance committee member could insert it into the bill through a motion before sending it out of committee."
GOP eyes budget bill for anti-collective bargaining law | Defend Wisconsin
www.defendwisconsin.org
Get ready, protesters. The collective bargaining bill could soon be back before the Legislature.

Andrew Welhouse, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, said Thursday that while the "preferred avenue" for implementing the collective bargaining bill is still the state courts, there is a "possibility" the bill will be inserted into the 2011-2013 state budget.

"There is a possibility, and it has been informally discussed among Republican leadership, including the Joint Finance Committee co-chairs, that if the matter can't be fully decided on by the Supreme Court, then it will be inserted into the full budget," Welhouse told The Capital Times."
