Another posting from somewhere in rural Wisconsin

Hello folks and thank you once again for taking the time to keep up with my postings here.  I never cease to be amazed by the loyalty and diligence of not just my readers but also, of all those dedicated millions across the badger state opposed to Scott Walker and who support democracy and freedom.

Tomorrow morning at the capitol the legislature will take up a controversial wolf hunting bill, expect lots of resistance to that one.  We are also waiting to hear a decision from the Government Accountability Board regarding whether or not to make public online, the recall petitions.  The Internet has been flooded with postings from the small but ignorantly zealous tools & fools of the tea party regarding what they would like to do with all that personal information on good, democratic, law abiding citizens.  We have seen the slaughter of peoples pet's and hate mail and death threats.

On the good side though all the threats from these idiots has the GAB on the verge of not releasing all the information and making it public.  Once again the stooges on the right are doing are work for us.  We have been fighting for awhile now to keep voter information private with little result.  Now the tea party seems to have handed victory to us in this matter.

And speaking of elections and the GAB and such.......(subtle I am not)........here is my preliminary platform for my run at the Wisconsin State Assembly.  This is still a work in progress, and a rough one at that, but I will be having some meetings in the next couple of weeks to smooth out the rough edges.

First and foremost of course will be the undoing, as much as possible, of the damage done to the state by the Koch brothers/ALEC legislation enacted through Walker.  I will create and/or support legislation to negate all the union busting, infrastructure weakening, child labor law destruction, ad nauseum legislation that has been rammed through in the last year.  This will also necessarily include restructuring the state tax code and overturn within the state, the Citizens United (corporate personhood) laws.

I vow to end the bogus and unnecessary legislation Walker approved to make it a felony to sign more than once, a recall petition.  If there is a threat of fraudulent petitioning then the need to sign more than once is needed, especially as only one signature will be counted.  I would replace this with a bill that would make it a felony for any state official, whether holding elected office or not, to be involved with election or campaign or voter fraud.  The penalty for this would be no less than ten years imprisonment without parole and a fine of no less than $250,000 which must be paid from the estate of the perpetrator.

I would like to outlaw any proposed legislation to force our public schools to teach any curriculum that is not based in scientific study and fact.

I would remove the school voucher system set up by the radical right and restore full funding to our public school systems.

I would consider making it mandatory that at some point in their high school careers, that all students must take a civics course teaching them how our government works, the exact content and meaning of the state constitution as well as the extreme importance of voting.

Speaking of our state constitution, I will look into the viability of having our elected leaders be held responsible to they're oath to the constitution under penalty of law.  There is absolutely no 'translating' the constitution, it is to be taken literally!

I would support full equal rights for all Wisconsin state citizens as guaranteed under the constitution.

I would restore the state Election Campaign Fund destroyed under Walker.  All future elections would receive all funding through this system and all candidates will share equally in those resources to run they're campaigns.  No more out of state money for in state elections and total transparency.

I would end our practice of electing partisan supreme court justices.  They would instead be nominated by the office of the governor from a list supplied to the governors office by a group of their peers.

Hopefully in my next posting (barring any unforeseen events) I will explain why I am running for office as well as my reasoning and moral reasons for doing so and explain how that ties into what I hope to accomplish while in office.  Solidarity forever.

On Wisconsin!    FORWARD!!!!

I'm sorry......were out of pie

I am so bummed out right now folks, I promised you pie and now I cant come through with it.  I was looking forward to it myself, then again in retrospect I suppose it would have been just another nail in a coffin already full of nails for the GOP.  Perhaps I should back up a little bit here, earlier this week some of our folks were at the Inn On the Park at night for a cocktail.  The Inn is located across the street from the state capitol building in Madison.  Robin Vos, Mike Ellis and some other GOTea legislators were sitting at the bar and plowing through drinks and starting to talk rather loudly in regards to current events.

They discussed the school voucher system and how they were going to use that to promote spending of tax money to fund private schools for rich, white children at the expense of the rest of the state's education system.  Ellis even referred to one school as a 'sewer' based on some past issue's and where the school would be in a couple of years under the new Walker anti-education system.

They also discussed what was apparently a pay to play, legislation for hookers deal.  They referred to the sex workers as 'pie' and I was really looking forward to release of the video to the mainstream media.  Well very long story short for various reasons it was decided to release a portion of the video relating to the school voucher system but not the rest of it.  In all honesty it does not make a whole lot of sense to myself either.  At least public apologies had to be made to the schools.  Still confusing though.

Then again we have the GOP on election fraud, voter fraud, gerrymandering and tons of other activity and all of it is either illegal, immoral or unconstitutional.  So I wont get too bent out of shape for not being able to out them on yet another sex scandal.  Heck the Wisconsin GOP has been committing so many heinous acts this year that another sex scandal might not be all that big a deal really.

Speaking of which the GOP this week was busy at the capitol with a highly controversial piece of mining legislation.  Apparently they have a piece of legislation that allows for open pit mining to be approved without any oversight in regards to environmental impact or damage.  This legislation allows a private company to come into Wisconsin, conduct themselves in any way they see fit.  Destroy or damage the land as much as they deem necessary in the pursuit of profits.  Send those profits out of state and leave Wisconsin by itself when it comes time to deal with the environmental impact and the cost of clean-up and repair.  As well as the cost of dealing with what looks rather likely to be a public health crisis for years to come.

In other words a big win-win for one foreign company and the GOTea traitors in the state legislature that they bought.  A big lose-lose for the state of Wisconsin, and likely to the tune of billions and billions of dollars before the whole mess is over with.  In typical right wing fashion the legislation was admitted, apparently out of the blue, without it being authored or sponsored.  Like it was just magically created by some fairies who work for the mining company who then just dropped it off at the capitol for the conservatives to ram through as law.

So now the doors are wide open for the state of Wisconsin to be raped by outside financial interests, with no liability whatsoever.  That is the new precedent they have struck here in the badger state.  And to make matters even worse they are encouraging this outside conglomerate to not only do this in Wisconsin, but on tribal land in Wisconsin.  That is right folks the rich white conservatives gave other rich white conservatives the okay to infringe on "a sovereign nation"  The federal government is now racing into action against this legislation and I am pretty sure it will not stand.  Regardless though it goes to show that the GOTea will let nothing get in the way of their pursuit of personal gain, not laws-state or federal.  Not decency or respect or integrity or concern for the future.  Heck they seem to be proud of public acts of racism and hatred, of acting outside the laws of man and God with impunity.

The GOTea is all about one thing and that is the total destruction of Wisconsin, and then the rest of America for thirty pieces of silver. Profit over all with no concern for they're own children let alone the lives of other citizens.  If it is at all possible, if I am elected to office, if I can get enough support I will do everything in my power to promote laws that will dis-allow these enemies of the state.  These home-grown traitors, these domestic terrorists, and allow them to be stripped of all that they own, the money to go into clean-up and general usage funding for the state.  Then the traitors themselves should be imprisoned without possibility of parole and/or be turned over to the federal government for high crimes that may require execution in the penalty phase.



To undo stupid laws like those just rushed through by Scott Walker which threaten ordinary citizens with felony charges for signing constitutionally protected recall petition.  And instead replace it with laws that would make tampering with, undo influence and or fraud against elections or the electorate, a felony with massive penalties.  Including but not limited to - 10 years in prison, minimum without parole and a fine of no less than $250,000 which must come completely from the holdings and/or estate of the perpetrator.  Also disbarring of attorneys involved and other penalties that would help to protect the freedom and democracy that we hold dear.  If the elections are taken away from the people then there is no Wisconsin, there is no America.  And destruction of America based on principles of hatred is terrorism and must be treated as such.

We must fight these evil influences, these haters of America and the constitution, these terrorists who would destroy us by any means necessary, and with extreme prejudice.  If your with me on this I am still looking throughout the month of February for some volunteer campaign staff, contact me through the comments here or on Facebook if you are interested.  Thank you and solidarity forever.

On Wisconsin!    FORWARD!!!!

Posting # 240

entry number 240, nearly an entire year since the beginning of the Walker regime.  So much has happened that sometimes it just seems impossible that all that has occurred is even real at all.  Protests, treachery and violence, organizers and activists, meetings and agendas.  Media relations and celebrities, speeches and rants and rhetoric.   And above all hope.........hope that we will reclaim Wisconsin and return it to its former glory and inherent goodness.

And this week has been the same as the last 49 of them.  Two more arrests this week of Walker staff members. Huge protests against the horrific and very illegal proposed mining project in northern Wisconsin.  The governors state of the state address, and the boos from the gallery.  Video tape exposed of drunken GOP legislators discussing the plan to destroy the states schools and force minorities back into the stone age.  And bigger than that, video of the GOP legislators describing a 'pay to play' scandal.  More specifically Robin Vos and Mike Ellis caught on tape discussing the hookers or"PIE" that they were given in exchange for pushing certain bills through the legislature.

I will be writing my butt off all weekend about all this and more to catch all my readers up on what has been happening in Madison this week.  And what a chaotic week it has been.  But for now I would just like to say that I believe my computer problems have all been solved so I will be able to post to you this weekend about everything going on.  And I am happy (in an angst-ridden way) to report that on Wednesday I signed the paperwork and completed the forms with the Government Accountability Board and I am now a candidate for the Wisconsin State Assembly representing my beloved Madison, particularly the working class East Side.  Quite the year indeed it has been.

I am looking for some help here in Madison with my campaign.  If you live in the area and would be interested in volunteering a little bit of time I could use:

A treasurer, probably one to three hours per week.

A campaign manager and/or media representative, about four to ten hours per week

Also some folks who can put in a little time helping me with webpage creation and networking.

Until later this weekend my sisters and brothers, keep up the fight for freedom and solidarity forever.

On Wisconsin!    FORWARD!!!!

Hello winter and goodbye Walker

Very short post here today readers, I am having some computer troubles so this needs to be brief today.  Like the title said, winter has come to Wisconsin.  Snow on the ground and more falling down, overnight temperatures are below zero.  Perfect weather in the badger state.

Still waiting for the next round of shenanigans as the right wingers try to violate the constitution and the voting process and derail the recall effort.  Still kind of laying low and watching everything around Madison from the edge, I am still readjusting to being back in Madison after being on the road with the recall effort.

Perfect foggy and snowy weather though to walk the streets and consider how much has happened in Wisconsin in the last year.  Reflect on how much has happened to me in the last year, and trying to come to grips with all the unforeseen changes in my life and the weird direction it has taken me in.

I will be back in a day or two with my usual postings.  Enjoy some good old fashioned Wisconsin protest weather and keep the faith brothers and sisters.  And remember that vigilance is the price of freedom, keep an eye on those GOP bastiches.

On Wisconsin1    FORWARD!!!!

And finally.........the winter of our content (contentment?) hmmmm

Greetings from wonderful and glorious Madison, Wisconsin.  The temperature is a cheery 16 degree's as I write this and everywhere are people still in the streets, celebrating the wonderful news regarding the petitions to recall Scott Walker.  As I am sure you have heard over a million signatures were turned in to the GAB yesterday.  Over 850,000 against Kleefisch.  The folks who have worked so hard to gather the signatures and multitudes of supporters could be found from the RecallHQ to the capitol building, down  East Washington avenue to the GAB office.  From State Street down to Lake Monona and the Monona Terrace ballroom.

People were celebrating all over the recall of not just Scott Walker and the lieutenant governor, but of four other neo-conservative radical legislators as well.  Including one very special legislator, house majority speaker Scott Fitzgerald.  We went after six of them and we got six of them set up for recall elections.  Democracy in action and it was achieved through peaceful, thoughtful and dedicated effort, on the parts of thousands and thousands of Wisconsinites. Even today, twenty four hours later the energy is still filling the air across Wisconsin.

John  Nichols, Ed Schultz and others were on hand as well, local celebrities and political figures and throngs of citizens filled the street to witness history in the making.  It was another huge turn-out and celebration of the democracy loving citizens of the badger state. This is:

Only the third recall ever of a seated governor in American history.

The largest per capita percentage to sign and initiate a recall in American history.

May possibly be the largest ever voter turn out in Wisconsin's history.

And hopefully it will be the end, here in Wisconsin, of corporate money dominating people and it will spread across these United States and join with our sisters and brothers in Europe and across to the pro-domocracy/pro-humanity movements in the Middle East.  Last year was the year of the protester, the year of active involvement in democracy.  And now in Wisconsin we are seeing the beginning of the fruits of our labors this far.  The people are becoming active and aware and they are fighting to take back there government and future.

There is still very much to do to correct the damage done to Wisconsin, but we are on our way.  Keep up the momentum and keep up the fight folks.  We have completely dominated going into the recall elections and we did it the right way, peacefully and legally.  We displayed a patience and a combined focus on the parts of hundreds of thousands of people to achieve this.  The light has returned to the end of the tunnel I am proud to say.

It is good to be back in Madison again.  It is good to reconnect with all my sister and brothers in 'Our House' the Capitol building.  It is good to sing-along with friends again around the rotunda and it is best of all to see everyone happy and laughing again.  Firmly knowing that a better day, a Wisconsin spring is coming.  One that wont include Scott Walker.  Solidarity forever.

On Wisconsin!    FORWARD!!!!

Congratulations and now........I'm gonna piddle on your parade.

A truly historic and awe filled day here in the badger state.  Today here in Wisconsin we started wrapping up the recall effort against fraudulently elected, anti-American governor Scott Walker and five of his cronies.  I am pleased and proud to say that we have exceeded the numbers by far, that we needed, in the recall of all six of the GOTea members that we went after.

Scott Fitzgerald who went from old school fiscal conservative to all out far right wing extremist nut job in the course of a year was the last one we needed, and around ten thirty this morning, just ahead of deadline, it was announced that he is being recalled too.  There is still a day or so left and there are still volunteers out in the field collecting more signatures to help give us a buffer zone, but we have the numbers.

For only the third time in American history we are about to recall a sitting governor.  Congratulations badgers you have come so far since last February in the fight against the weasels that sought to immorally and illegally change the very nature of the great state of Wisconsin and destroy the American ideal as well.  I am awe struck and so very proud of everyone who has gotten us to this point so far.

Please pat yourselves on the back and enjoy the weekend.  Celebrate with family and friends, have a beer and enjoy the Green Bay Packers game on Sunday.  Revel in the glory that you all have come together to create and bask in its warm glow.

Because starting Monday all hell is going to break lose in Wisconsin.  Republicans, Tea Party officials and representatives from ALEC and the Koch brothers are meeting over the weekend with judges from Waukesha (judges loyal to ALEC and no law of man or God) to sabotage and destroy the recall elections.  They are working on everything from ballot counting softwaremanipulation to allowing Tea Party access to the personal information of all signers of the recall petitions.

They are working on through illegal manipulation of the justice system and other means.  UnitedWisconsin which organized the recall efforts will be transporting the boxes and boxes of recall petitions to the new GAB high security sight for verification and processing, and the tea party will be planning on intercepting them if they feel it is possible to destroy the petitions.  I have been contacted by people we have planted inside the Tea party as well as by members of the Democrat party in regards to this.  We don't know exactly what to expect yet, but be sure that it will be violent and reckless.

We need volunteers, lots and lots of volunteers to meet on the west side of Madison to protect the petitions as they are transported three blocks to the new and supposedly highly secure recall verification site.  I am told that it is strongly electronically monitored and will have police officers there as well.  That still wouldn't stop a plant from the republican party from torching the building from the inside though.

Sorry to piddle on your parade but these are very important times.  Important to the majority of citizens who want the removal of Walker from Wisconsin.  And very important to the violent and radical members of the far right who will seek to sabotage the recall at any cost.  Just maybe concealed carry laws newly enacted in Wisconsin will work in the favor of the anti-Walker majority this time.  Hopefully though, I don't believe it will come down to that but we must be prepared for the worst.

Contact me through the comment section of this blog or on FaceBook if you can help us out on Tuesday, we really need as many people as possible there.  If nothing else come down and witness history in the making folks, you most likely wont see this again in your time.

There is also the possibility that Walker will be arrested by the FBI before a recall election can take place and that would destroy all that we have worked for and achieved thus far.  There is also the possibility of the Koch brothers telling (paying) Walker to abdicate his office before the recall election which would also nullify a recall election.  Things are still very complicated and very hard to predict.  There is no way to accurately forecast how things will all work out in the end.  There is still much to fear.  Told you I was going to rain down on your parade.

Don't get me wrong though, so much has been achieved and I believe that somewhere down the long and convoluted path that we have been set on, that we will win.  We will be victorious and we will retake Wisconsin in the name of its citizenry.  We will be the tipping point that brings to an end the horrific and extremist neo-conservative, anti-human movement that began and will end in Wisconsin.  We are the alpha and the omega and we will protect the Wisconsin ideal and the American dream for ourselves and our posterity.  Solidarity forever.

On Wisconsin!    FORWARD!!!!

The wreck of the brothers Fitzgerald

Quick post here folks, actually a call for help.  All across Wisconsin we have gathered a multitude of signatures against Walker and Kleefisch.  We have the numbers for a recall of the GOTea senators as well.  The only area where we are short is in the 13th district which is the lair of the corrupt Scott Fitzgerald.  We need all the volunteers we can get to the 13th between now and next Monday night.  We are less than 800 signatures away from recalling Fitz.
Please help us reclaim Wisconsin and recall Fitzgerald!  We have more than enough signatures to recall Walker and Kleefisch by hundreds of thousands.  We need you all to turn your efforts to helping us with Fitzy.  Every single volunteer has the potential to be the person who creates history at this all important time.

Sisters and brothers across the badger state, children of LaFollette please help us in this all important effort.  Do it for the good karma.  Do it for yourselves and your children.  Do it for Wisconsin.  Solidarity forever.  Lets wreck the brothers Fitzgerald!

On Wisconsin!    FORWARD!!!!
