May 2012

we had sort of the same situation here in northern il. during our primary the state dems did`t bother to field a candidate for the new illinois 16th congressional seat. so we decided to find someone to run and after a "peoples conference" wanda rohl was selected by the "people " during a meeting in dekalb il. all this was done on facebook. with in this last week the state democratic party has decided to back her. which means she`ll go from 0 dollars to maybe enough to actually campaign in a district the size of a small state. we took your methods in wisconsin and forced the establishment to listen and now they`ll supply what we lack.

i always thought the whitehouse should stay out of wisconsin and come in on the voter laws where they have the power to effect change.
