The Wisconsin Recall – How to Outslick the Radical Right Wing Slicksters!


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. Register, and verify your current registration status NOW. Report voter registration irregularities to the  voting sources at the end of this post.  Don’t get sucked in by negative ads and robocalls. Report robocalls  to the voting sources at the end of this post. Fight money with money. Donate whatever you can at websites and fundraising events for presidential, congressional, gubernatorial and legislative candidates who will represent YOU instead of THEMSELVES  and the SUPER PAC CREW. Find out how at the end of this post. Don’t doubt for one second that they are and will be  using their DISHONEST/VOTER SUPPRESSING/SUPER PAC  ‘Wisconsin recall’  tricks for the November general election!


ENFORCING THE PLAN TO “TAKE BACK THEIR(?) COUNTRY”
Excerpts from an article entitled GOP’s Anti-Obama Campaign Started the Night of the Inauguration by Robert Draper reveals that at a private dinner in Washington, DC TOP REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS  outlined the following “break Obama” strategies: 1) win the spear point of the House in 2010; 2) jab Obama relentlessly in 2011; 3) win the White House and the Senate in 2012; 4) begin attacking vulnerable Democrats on the airwaves. (The first National Republican Congressional Committee attack ads would run in less than two months.); 5) show united and UNYIELDING opposition to the president’s economic policies (Eight days later, Minority Whip Cantor would hold the House Republicans to a unanimous “No” against Obama’s economic stimulus plan).  

Lesson learned – so said, so done, so far!  WE didn’t come out in full force for the 2010 Midterm election -  the Tea partied radical Right Wingers did and now WE’RE  paying the price!



“UNLIMITED”  CORPORATE DOLLARS TO DESTROY DEMOCRATS AND MODERATE REPUBLICANS
Excerpts from the Right Wing Conservative Corporatism Daily entitled Republican Strategy to Take Over America, State By State thru UNLIMITED Corporate Donations reveals… 1)  radical conservatives can TAKE OVER one state at a time, by and through the CONSERVATIVE “Corporate majority decision of the US Supreme Court”  e.g. unlimited, anonymous super Pac  donations; 2) radical Right Wing governors, legislators, FOXifiers and other pundits, constantly  give federal governing a bad name and reputation, while Republican-governed states bypass the Congress to pass and circumvent laws, and BANKRUPT  the federal government by using more federal funding, while saving their own state tax funds, to show they are doing better than most other states.

Case in point -  an article at wnyc.org entitled “Thanks Super Pacs! Negative Political Ads Up 70 Percent points out that “seven out of ten political ads have been negative during the 2012 election cycle” to date.  Romney’s crew used NEGATIVE super PAC ads to pick off his presidential primary rivals one by one AND long-term MODERATE  Republican Senator Dick Luger who DARED to compromise was wiped out by DECEPTIVE super PAC ads that flooded the local airways right before the election.

Lessons learned – money CAN’T  out win  RECORD-BREAKING  voter turn-out. Don’t fall for the super PAC negative ad hype.  They usually save the worst ads for the final days before an election hoping that UNKNOWING voters will bypass the ‘good guys’ by voting for names that are more familiar to them via the negative ads.



WINNING GOVERNOR RACES TO MANIPULATE STATE ELECTIONS
Excerpts from a Radical Right Wing article entitled Pilgrim’s List of GOP Governor Nominees Crushing Dunks at redstate.com reveals…  1) we know that Republicans won’t become America’s majority party again until we RECLAIM the majority of governorships; 2) governors are the leading political figures in their states and can have TREMENDOUS impact on DOWN-BALLOT races. Moreover, they are able to build and organize the critical state Party infrastructure needed to WIN close elections!

Lesson learned -Remember this when you go to the polls in November, it’s not just about the presidency, it’s about NOT electing Tea Partied  Republican governors and state legislators  who facilitate voter suppression laws, take away women’s reproduction rights, close schools for middle class and poor children, deny workers’ rights, deny affordable health care, deny voting rights  and much more.)



 “BRINGING A RADICAL RIGHT WING AGENDA TO A STATE NEAR YOU”
Excerpts from an article at alternet.org entitled The 10 Scariest GOP Governors: Bringing a Radical Right Wing Agenda to a State Near You reveals… 1) these governors all have some things in common; 2) most of them were elected in 2010 while progressive turnout was depressed and conservative anger, particularly the virulent anti-government type sprung in from the Tea Party movement and spilled over at the polls; 3) most of them took over swing states from Democratic administrations; 4) most of them did NOT run on promises to take away collective bargaining from workers, slash pensions and health care and outlaw abortion. Instead, they focused on jobs;  5) a year or more into their terms taxes  were cut  for the wealthy,  working people, particularly immigrants and women are struggling,  promises of jobs have given way to Shock Doctrine-style cuts, attacks on unions, public services and voting rights. 

Lesson learned – get to KNOW and CIRCULATE  the candidates’ names and voting records. DON’T  give the Radical Slicksters  a ‘repeat performance’  of the 2010 Midterms in November!



VOTING FOR TEA PARTIED REPUBLICANS AT THE  PRECINCT COMMITTMAN LEVEL
A RADICAL Right Wing blog at precinctproject.wordpress.com entitled The Neighborhood Precinct Committeeman Strategy to Take Back the Republican Party and then America at the Ballot Box reveals… 1) a precinct committeeman is the “most powerful office in the world”; 2) the more conservatives in the precinct committeemen ranks, the more conservative the leadership and the primary winners will be.

Case in point – Republican  candidate Price L. Policky recently won the Clatsop County, Oregon  Republican Primary Precinct Committee election with ONE VOTE  posted  by Price L. Policky!!!! 

Lesson learned -  whenever there is an election in your voting district AT ANY LEVEL - vote!
