President Obama Remains Distant from Wisconsin Labor Fight

It’s very disappointing to me that the President is keeping the Wisconsin labor movement at arms length.

Ever since the recall wars erupted in this battleground state, the Obama campaign has been faced with a dilemma: How involved does the president get in a polarizing fight with huge national overtones?

Less than two weeks to [...]

Recall Memo: June 5: Walker 57 Barrett 13 OR Walker 25 Barrett 1

No those aren’t the most recent poll numbers from the tea party sun tea brewmaster…they are very specific fundraising numbers for our two gubernatorial candidates in the recall election.

First, 57% of Governor Walker’s contributions came from out of state! While Mayor Barrett’s contributions from out of state amounted to 13%. So much for Governor [...]

Recall Memo: June 5th: Divide and Conquer says Governor Walker?

The video showing Governor Walker telling his biggest campaign contributor that his strategy for changing the political environment in Wisconsin to an all red all the time state was DIVIDE AND CONQUER has been making the rounds since last week.

Recall Memo: June 5th: MoveOn Org endorses Mayor Barrett for Governor!

From an email that I received yesterday: “A stunning 98% of MoveOn members who voted over the weekend voted for MoveOn to endorse Tom Barrett for governor of Wisconsin.”

A few days ago Zach mentioned that Mahlon Mitchell could use your help in is recall election against Lt. Gov Rebecca Kleefisch.

Recall Memo: June 5: Student Voting: YES YOU CAN!

On of our readers asked about student voting on an earlier Recall Memo: June 5th about student voting. I should have looked into this earlier because I know a great many college students are on their way home already following the end of their school year.

Well, here are the facts directly from the Government [...]

Recall Memo: June 5: Absentee ballots

After a brief kerfuffle at the Government Accountability Board, it was determined that absentee ballots for the June 5th Recall elections should be mailed on Friday May 18th. SO, if you usually vote absentee or requested an absentee ballot for the recall, if you didn’t get yours with the Saturday mail, watch for it tomorrow!! [...]

Der Angriff Endorses Scott Walker

Milwaukee’s own Der Angriff endorses Scott Walker.

No governor in recent memory has been so controversial. No governor in America is so polarizing. Everyone has an opinion about Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin.

Here’s ours: We see no reason to remove Walker from office. We recommend him in the June 5 recall election.

Walker’s rematch with Milwaukee [...]

Thursday Music: June 6th???

I hope not, but it could get ugly.  Especially if Kathy Nickolaus “finds” a bunch of uncounted ballots in open bags… in the trunk of her car… again…

or, if you prefer
