WI Win
Have been looking forward to posting that all day in the subject line.

The reality is that the Congress and Presidency are owned by people,
corporations and groups who have a lot of money. To take that out of
the equation is to pass a law that really works.

Now and in the future, recalls may be more commonplace since we
know our election systems can be hacked, votes padded and eliminated.

I love that the good people in Wisconsin have worked with what
they have. I wish them the very best at the end of this night;
that these recalls on the Republicans worked and that Scott Walker's
recall is not far behind.

This is true democracy, winning over the megabucks of the Kochs and their ilk.

Continue to boycott these corporations who don't stand with you.

1. The votes haven't been counted.
I'm optimistic, but not celebrating until then.

4. The citizens won whatever the results.
Congratulations to the first Democratic winner Jennifer Shilling and best hope
for the other two. The amount of work, passion and organization of these recalls
is the prize in the end.
Despite any wins or losses, this recall race has changed the future.

We aren't going to completely cave to the corporate owned pols and will
work to get back our country.

12. Because Dems did so well in Republican districts, this will be
concerning to the future for all Republicans in Wisconsin, but also
other states pulling the same crap.
