The Wisconsin Recall - How to Outslick the Radical Right Slicksters
Last edited Fri Jun 8, 2012, 08:26 AM - Edit history (1)
Tea Partied, ‘American Worker Basher’ Scott Walker won the gubernatorial recall election yesterday. It wasn’t by a landslide BUT the key is for US to take note of the following realities: 1) Wisconsin was the radical Tea Partied Right Wing Slicksters’ TEST RUN for November; 2) we must constantly gather and circulate information regarding the radical Republican Slicksters’ tricks, and 3) we must vote in RECORD BREAKING numbers in November to win OUR fight for social, economic, and educational equality for women, children, middle class families, the poor, college students, the elderly and the unemployed, at the presidential, congressional, gubernatorial and state legislator levels in November. Here’s why…
In August, 2011 WISCONSIN TRAILBLAZERS made history by recalling TWO Tea Partied Republican anti-American worker senators DESPITE Governor Walker’s attempts to suppress their votes with ‘Jim Crow’ ID laws and the closure of NINE voter ID-generating DMV sites. Wisconsin Trailblazers submitted a historical ONE MILLION signatures to recall Governor Walker with nearly TWICE the 540,208 signatures required for submission. IN ADDITION to the Walker recall signatures, Wisconsin trailblazers, submitted 845,000 signatures to force the recall of Republican Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch along with petitions to recall FOUR Republican anti-American workers’ rights senators Terry Moulton, Pam Galloway, Van Wangaard and Senate Majority Leader, Scott Fitzgerald. Close to TWO MILLION signatures were submitted in total. The Nation reported that “no other gubernatorial recall drive in American history has gathered the signatures of so large a proportion of the electorate.”
So how in the world did Wisconsin Trailblazers lose the battle to recall Walker?
SUPER PACS, LIES, DECEPTION AND VOTER SUPPRESSION
Walker’s Tea Partied state legislators, oil-speculating/anti-worker Koch Brother pals and anonymous super PAC partners ACROSS THE NATION such as Karl Rove fought back with LIES, DECEPTION and the ALMIGHTY DOLLAR: 1) Tea Partied Wisconsin legislators passed legislation to DENY college students the right to vote; 2) the Koch Brothers and Walker’s other super PAC partners poured tons of money into FALSIFIED robocalls MISINFORMING voters that they didn’t have to vote in the recall election if they signed the recall petition; 3) Walker’s super Pac-sponsored interests groups informed citizens “that they need not vote today as they have already accomplished their work”; 4) Walkers’ super Pac posse poured tons of money into MISLEADING, NEGATIVE ads.
Lesson learned – WE need to be hip to their tricks and take action NOW to outwit them in November. Don’t doubt for a second that they are and will be using those same tricks for the November general election!
That’s just the beginning. Wait to you view the Radical Right Wing Slicksters’ plans for “bringing a radical right wing agenda to a state near you” along with links to how you can protect your right to vote AND ‘outslick the slicksters’ in the November General Election at www.spindetective.com
