some of the people that help elect(fund) scot walker are stirring investigations which could end in jail terms!some of these political parties are set up to avoid releasing who is funding them. making it dificult to tell if election laws are being skirted! interest groups--who they are, what they are doing, and who the groups and their staff are connected to.
A New PR Blitz Does What Walker Sought on the Prank "Koch" Call The new outside spending blitz comes on the heels of admissions by Walker that he was eager to have the aid of oil billionaire David Koch in support of his actions, an eagerness some have contended reveals a comfort with working with wealthy donors and funders of special interest groups in activities to help achieve his objectives. Here is what Walker asked for on the call with the man he thought was Mr. Koch--who chairs "Americans for Prosperity" (AFP), which ran issue ads last fall that buttressed themes from Walker's campaign, and whose billion-dollar company recently opened its own lobby shop in Madison. Here is what Walker said in response to the question of how the billionaire could help:
So the one thing in your question, the more groups that are encouraging people not just to show up but to call lawmakers and tell them to hang firm with the governor, the better. Because the more they get that assurance, the easier it is for them to vote yes. The other thing is more long term, and that is after this, you know the coming days and weeks and months ahead, particularly in some of these more swing areas, a lot of these guys are gonna need, they don't actually need ads for them but they're going to need a message put out reinforcing why this was a good thing to do for the economy and a good thing to do for the state. So the extent that that message is out over and over again is obviously a good thing.
(emphasis added). (The full transcript is available here.) So, Walker told someone he thought was Mr. Koch--who is one of the bankrollers of special interest groups that ran ads or did direct mailing or initiated robo-calling last fall--that he wanted "more groups" getting calls in to legislators in the state and help getting the message out "over and over" in "the coming days, weeks, and months."
The "League of American Voters" Launches Robo-Calls and Ads Backing Walker Seemingly right on cue, a group that has previously refused to name its donors, the self-designated "League of American Voters" (LAV), began robo-calls and ads in Wisconsin late last week. LAV has been the vehicle for other PR campaigns in support of top items on the GOP agenda, including extending the Bush tax cuts which included big breaks for the wealthiest Americans and opposing health insurance reform. LAV is a DC-based group whose address is the exact same as at least one other group that has received Koch-related funding but claims to be merely a tenant.
think of who Lepage put into head the education div. ,hmmm the other one was the ex ceo of the same work 20! who funded them? really do they think the workers are going to be fooled? think of the workers in the ship yard -remember their hammers won a battle that the elite thought they had won! NEVER PISS OFF A MAINER WHO'S BRAIN ,SKILL AND ABILITY MADE YOU A FAT CAT! CAUSE HE KNOWS THAT WITHOUT HIM YOUR USELESS!
