http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/03/08/wisconsins-defeat-the-recall-campaign-largely-funded-by-out-of-state-donors/An email circulated Wednesday by a super PAC trying to drum up support for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) seems to have accidentially revealed that the Defeat the Recall campaign is being primarilly funded by individuals who do not live in Wisconsin.
The super PAC, which is registered out of California, is focused on the Walker campaign as a secondary effort. Their actual name is The Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama, but theyve taken up supporting Walker as a key electoral front in 2012.

(36,063 posts)And so, we have assaults on democratic institutions in the states. In Wisconsin the game is to destroy unions and restrict voting, it's the same in all the ALEC led legislatures in the country.
But we should know that the Overlords don't recognize Wisconsin as a distinct territory with meaningful self-governance...it' s just a battle ground where they are fighting to dismantle any ad every social structure that promotes a hint of aspiration for democratic equality among people.
The Neofeudal Movement has taken control of some US national institutions. It's not merely a quirk of US law that resulted in a SCOTUS decision wherein a form of business organization, the corporation has been granted personhood while the labor union, a form of employee organization is proclaimed throughout the land as a public enemy verging on a terrorist movement that threatens everyone. It's not a quirk of law that allowed the banksters to undertake the economic pillaging of the middleclass.
They're after us. And things aren't going too badly for them.

(146,308 posts)I wasted a good deal of their time on the phone. I live in Minnesota. When they asked for a donation, I explained my fee structure for participating in private political surveys and asked for their billing address, so I could send them the invoice. Oddly enough, they hung up before giving me the information.
