donnajoy - I agree with you on the political stuff. But what people aren't grasping is that the REAL Power in the world lies with MONEY.

Politicans and political solutions don't have the Clout (a Chicago term) they used to.



Therefore, people must fully participate in Capitalism. And beat them at their own game. I call this being a cut-throat Liberal Capitalist. I've even written a book about it. It's free.

Here's how to help defeat Walker. No matter where in the world you live.



Simply call one of the gazzillion Tourist-based stores in Wisconsin.

Tell them you've been taking your family to that place for 20 years.



But if that store supports Walker in any way, you will STOP spending your MONEY there.



It is OK to lie. Corporations lie to each other and us every day.

It's OK to inflict pain on the managers.



Every day Walker is in, he is inflicting huge pain on innocent men, women and children.



It's easy find ski resorts, water parks, hunting lodges, boat rental places, hotels etc throughout the state.



It's the least we can do to Honor the men and women who gutted it out and fought & killed people so we can have Freedom.



Nobody likes to harm others. But sometimes, it's the lesser of two evils.



So we could abolish Slavery,

stop Child Labor,

beat Hitler, Italy and Japan

etc, etc, etc



Please join me.

I am THE Meanest Damn Liberal Capitalist in the Land.

Is anyone willing to join me at the Wisconsin Dells next Saturday & Sunday, to do some VISIBILITY?



I need at least 2 others to join me. Otherwise I won't do it.



The Dells are a humongo Tourist attraction (er, trap), getting people from all over the state. There are a few main streets & intersections that are End-to-End cars.



I am doing this on my own.



I'm a FIB from Chicago who has been going to that area for 27 years.



Saturday night I'll be 10 miles away, in Baraboo to see JOhn Nichols at the AL Ringling Theater.



Call me - 773.206-0008

I just got an e-mail stating there is something new in the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinal today. It appears Scotty is in big trouble with more information about misusing funds and a new staff member is to be charged.

I have my fingers crossed for Tom Barrett. Walker continues to show what a immoral, unethical individual he really is. The GOP/Tea Party has lost their way. This group talks about how concerned they are about the next generations but they do not care that they are showing young people that it is OK to lie and use money to buy whatever they want. As an adult, I am nervous about this because if we do not stop these conservatives without consciences from destroying democracy, who knows what this country will be like. Their Presidential candidate, Mitt, is also motivated by power and money and will do or say whatever it takes to win. More than ever, we have to officials who really represent our views and values. Otherwise, we are sure to move in the direction of libertarian ideology and the whims of the right wing religious zealots. Wisconsin, we are rooting for you to elect Tom Barrett.
