Thank you so much for this great article!
How else is anyone going to know that their Republican state Reps and state Senators voted against even hearing the wording of the state bill, which reflected the wording of the 61 referenda passed by 75% over all, to get money out of politics? That is the only reason these guys were voted back in to office: nobody knew, because nobody in the media reported it, other than CMD and a very few others! CERTAINLY NOT the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. We need to continue to build alternative news sources, and it is working!
How do we know that it's working?
Things have changed since the last re-election, because the WI State legislature HAS NOT YET PASSED the GAB gagging bill, or the campaign finance Freedom Bill opening up unlimited and unseen contributions and 'cooperation' between politicians and billionaires.
Keep calling, folks. Contact Citizens Action or Common Cause if you want to help this weekend.

I don't believe the baby born today will have a longer life span than their parents. Raising age ultimately means next generation pays in longer and collects less. Which is the goal of any insurance ponzi. . .
Wisconsin, home of the Shiite Republicans, Quoting the late great Molly Ivins, "The legislature is so dominated by special interest that the gallery where the lobbyists sit is called "the owners' box."" ~ Molly Ivan's, Letters to The Nation, "Is Texas America" 2003. NPR featured a story today discussing state legislators use of private email accounts. One of the parties interviewed defended the practice asserting (I am paraphrasing) - - - there is nothing these individuals do that impacts national security - - - hoping to deflect any comparison between Republican state legislators use of private email accounts with Clinton's actions. Last I checked, state actors, regardless of rank and position, make decisions daily, which impact the lives of electorate. Scary times await.
"robinvos63@gmail.com" is also the email address on file at the GAB for "Friends & Neighbors of Robin Vos" in the spreadsheet named "2014_partisanprimary_combinedcandidatelist_xlsx_14547.xlsx".
It's also listed on his GAB-1 campaign registration statement as the candidate's email, and where the committee email is instead "vosforassembly@gmail.com".
