Freedom and Democracy again reign in Wisconsin

This morning Judge Sumi struck down passage of Scotty Walkers anti-union legislation citing significant violation of the state's open-meetings laws.  This is great news for 96% of all state residents because now the GOP has to either go through the lengthy appeals process or start completely over.  Either way this can't happen until after the recall elections which are sure to dis empower the Republicans.

This also sets legal precedent to strike down other radical right wing legislation under the same laws and we have Jeremy Ryan of DefendingWisconsin.org to thank for initiating those legal actions.  Celebrate Wisconsin and rejoice for we have won a significant victory today.

Thank you to everyone who protested, collected signatures, called their elected officials, hounded the media, went on hunger strike, and blasted vuvuzula's at the Governors office.  My deepest thanks to all of you for it took all of us to achieve this victory.  The fight is not over but for the moment feel free to kick back, have a drink and revel in some well deserved glory.

If you would like to do some gloating, here are some GOP Senators office numbers you can call and tell them how you feel about this historic moment in our states history.
