This is it! Today is June 4 and tomorrow is Election Day
The enthusiasm is all around us; canvassers are knocking on doors; phone calls are annoying but necessary. An incredible event in Baraboo Sunday night. Honestly, I have never felt so much electricity in an event as I did on Sunday. John Nichols took the roof off and the crowd loved it.
And now we must tackle Citizen's United. It has been a disaster as we predicted it would be. How much was poured into Wisconsin to save Governor Koch-Walker? Somewhere around 50 million dollars. Egad! That is obscene! But, as several of you you have pointed out, with all the millions spent propping up governor Koch-Walker, he has been unable to reach 50 percent in the polls. Could be wrong, but I feel that the momentum is flowing in Barrett's direction.
While I think Walker will lose, this sort of wild-spending must stop. We cannot continue fighting the huge corporations year in and year out. The time has come to take back our state. We must demand public funding of campaigns and I mean demand.

We can't seriously take on Citizens United until we recognize that our candidate selection must be through the party delegate process in a reinvigorated party. We can't be the party of Koch light where our candidates are determined, as it is now, by the twin criteria of who wants to run and can raise the threshold amount to run.

Part of what took the roof off the Al Ringling Theater in Baraboo on Saturday evening was the standing ovations honoring ED GARVEY for living the progressive values for these past decades in Wisconsin. Ed, you had the honors given and well deserved!

After more than a year of crying and whinning. A waste of millions in taxpayer money on security and a recall election we will awake on June 6th to the same election results we got in 2010.

S.W. -- get a life and learn to spell. No matter what the results of the recall elections are, life and politics in Wisconsin will never be the same.

sw, on June 6 we will awaken to the fact there are still people in this state who just don't get it and prefer to side with tyranny, lies, evil and oppression. The ignorance and fear that elect people like Walker and the Fitz boys is not what we are about.
