the people of Wisconsin. His game plan from the get go was to break every State Agency down to zero,and to change any and every law to guarantee a single party rule in the State. This is why Elections have consequences,remember John Nichol's warning every one in Wisconsin about the Walker-Koch Brothers Game Plan,and the rest is History.

McCrory is trying to do the same here in NC.

This is what happens when people do NOT vote in EVERY election.

the Rellie Bunch in North Western Wiscony. Trumper's to the core,and at the same time,they are crying about all the Jobs(Sand Mining for Fracking)that have gone bye bye. Well when you live in a false economy tied to the Oil bust,and these Companies are not paying their State and Local Taxes,what do you expect. You Voted for your false savior Walker and his crew of fake's. BTW,Wisconsin's unemployment Benefits just took a hit.

strategy of the GOP and the Heritage Foundation for a couple of decades. Attack the enemy in their back yard and Wisconsin was the leader in Progressive Politics since the Nineteen Thirties and the Home of Union forming ideas and methods. Minnesota came with in a eye lash of being taken over by the Neo-Cons and the Koch Brothers,and they were able to stop it by a few activists getting people involved and made aware of what was happening. Stan Hubbard and the TCF Bank people did one heck of a recruiting job of trying to turn the State in to a Right to Work for less State. Minnesota got damn lucky when Dayton was elected. The upside is,the Brain Drain in Wisconsin and Michigan is going to Minnesota,even with the major Iron Range bust and the thousands laid off,the State unemployment rate is just a wiggle over 3% were as the other fore mentioned States are where,6-8% in a up economy.
