Wisconsin: Q: Can we have a referendum on Citizens United? A: No.

If I've read this correctly, the Wisconsin State Assembly voted along party lines today and rejected Chris Taylor's attempt to even consider having an advisory referendum on Citizens United.

Think about that - it would only be an advisory referendum, and the Republicans not only didn't approve it, they refused to even discuss it. Guess we know who likes the dark money.
