ANY PREDICTIONS?

May 4, 2011

Budget Repair Bill: done, but held up in court.  State Supreme Court Race: done, but held up in recount.  Senate recall campaigns: mostly done, but held up with the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board verifying signatures.    What is next?  No one can predict.

Who would have predicted our State Capitol being overrun with people sleeping, eating and chanting daily?  Who would have predicted 14 Senators fleeing the state and then 16 recall efforts filed against state Senators?  Who would have predicted a State Supreme Court election that went from a clear declaration of winning with just over a 200 vote margin to a clear need of a recount when that lead changed to the other side with over 7,300 votes?

There are days when I wake up and wonder if I am in a nightmare that I will ever awake from or if this is just a cruel joke.  Voter ID is on tap and is up for a vote next week in Wisconsin, but the question remains as to whether or not this legislation will be able to hold up in court.

The excitement never ends and continues to change on what seems like a daily basis.  Activists need to remain vigilant in watching the constant changes, remain in contact with their elected officials and be equipped to turn their attention to the next ball up in the air.  In the meantime, activists can attend one of our trainings and be equipped prior to the next round of elections in Wisconsin.

    Good for you Patriots!
    I am a white supremist Christian skinhead who finally knows I found a place where I feel at home.
    We do share the same values such as keeping our borders closed, especially from dirty Mexicans, who are all lazy anyways. I believe in making sure women don’t kill innocent babies because we need more (white)people in the world. I dream of a world where coorporations finally run everything, a world where if you are lucky enought to have a job, you will take that merger paycheck from your billionaire boss and be dang happy about it. I dream of a world where the destitude and the elderly realize it’s about time they stopped sucking off of tax payers and got to work. I dream of a world where the gay’s all get councelling for their disease, but not on my dollar. I believe every bible loving citizen has a right to indoctrinate anyone and everyone with the word of god anywhere and anytime… This especially applies to school children who’s young impressionable minds could so easilly be swayed by science if we don’t show them the truth early on. Lastly, I hope the day comes soon where all those evil green dragon people ore shipped off to communist countries so they can leave us in peace to finally drill for oil anywhere we please including our damned backyards if we want to… It’s a free country isn’t it?
    Thank you, fellow Republicans, for also believing in these truths that I hold so dear… Unless of course you are black, Mexican, have had an abortion, are athiest, scientific, or gay.
