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."

Assembly Dems Flee Wisconsin

Assembly Dems Flee Wisconsin

RT @NickMilroy: Assembly Dems Flee Wisconsin - eepurl.com/dcA7c

"My colleagues and I have decided that we've had enough of the Republican's railroading their radical agenda through the legislature. All 38 Assembly Democrats have fled the state in order to build public awareness about the devastating affects of Governor Walker's proposed budget. We did not take this action without serious deliberation. In the end, we decided that leaving the state was in the best interest of the state that we all love." Nick Milroy

"The state's new law could send hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to prison. An analysis of fund-raising documents, lobbying records and corporate reports shows that the private prison industry helped draft and pass the measure."

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and his Republican cohorts in the legislature have some explaining to do. The rookie governor rose to national fame after picking a bare knuckled political fight with Democrats over union rights. He showed up on our radar when he illegally sent in the Wisconsin State

Why You Don’t Know About the Uncut Movement

"Now you’ll see that this is a class war: the rich and the corporation directors, who are looking to cut taxes and privatize public services to pad their profits, versus real working people who are having services, wages and benefits cut to pay for the bailouts for the irresponsible corporations.

And while we’ve been afraid of a North American Union that would be a corporate haven, we should actually be mobilizing for a North American Union whose principles are to unite for a better world for real human beings, especially the poor, and not those fake human beings called corporations.

It’s time to get Uncut!

Be an evangelist. The poorest 95% of our society needs us working together on this. But it demands solidarity!

Let’s make 2011 a massive re-democratizing year all around the world."
