Recall, Repeal and Replace should be the Democratic call to arms.

Have you noticed, Democrats haven’t publically stated their intentions to repeal any of the highly unpopular changes made by the Republican legislature? What the hell are they waiting for?

The point is; Recall, Repeal and Replace!!!

Helping in that cause is Scott Walker’s new website, where he features a list of everything that will be repealed once the Democrats are voted in. Legislators would be wise to put in place an easy to understand plan that puts Wisconsin back on firm footing, all the while always stressing the repeal of everything they’ve gutted since their power grab. Citizens wanted jobs, not a completely privatized government controlled by special interests.
Channel3000: Gov. Scott Walker has launched a new website touting the results of changes he pushed this year, including his proposal taking away nearly all collective bargaining rights from most state workers. The website launched Monday comes less than a month before his opponents say they will start a petition drive to force a recall election next year.

Democratic Party Chairman Mike Tate accuses Walker of using taxpayer money to launch what he calls a campaign website.

Walker said he created the website at www.reforms.wi.gov to provide information…
…blah, blah, blah.

Recall, repeal and replace. Check out the "campaign" rhetoric Walker is using on the taxpayer dime:
Welcome to our website. This has been a year of historic change in Wisconsin. Facing a $3.6 Billion deficit, Governor Scott Walker and state lawmakers got to work making the hard decisions to get the state's finances back on track.  Their reforms gave local governments and school districts the tools they so badly needed to balance their own budgets without raising taxes.

Change can be hard.  As one school board member and small business owner recently told us, "It's not easy doing what you think is right."

Doing what you "think" is right is different from doing the right thing. If we used Walker’s line of thinking, then doing what nobody wants done is the only way to govern.  It also says you’re above criticism, because hell, what do they know?

The Constitutional Amendment to Get the Money out of Politics

Loved the idea of this amendment from Jimmy Williams on the Dylan Ratigan Show. Even conservative Mark McKinnon liked it, and makes an amazing admission about raising money for candidates.

Walker's Donors Break Campaign Finance Laws!! But he had to win....

Not the Republicans again!!!

The party that is finally restoring the public's faith in the electoral system, also knows they are the ones who have schemed to game that system. Republicans like clean elections. So they eliminated public funding and now require voter ID. That aught to do it! And don't even bring up election fraud.

But wait, did we forget about campaign finance laws? So what's wrong with a few hundred, to thousands of extra dollars, when you're talking about "free speech?" 

AP: Wisconsin state insurance commissioner Ted Nickel and nine other donors to Republican Gov. Scott Walker have been accused of breaking the state's campaign finance law.
Nickel gave $10,255 to Walker's campaign in three donations. The first was in October 2008 and the last two came in August. He was selected as insurance commissioner in January.

jsonline: Other donors include Michael White, chairman of the Rite Hite Corp., and Thomas Schneider of Schneider National.

Walker signed two bills Tuesday at Schneider's corporate headquarters in Green Bay, one of which reduces the liability of truck drivers in negligence cases.

Watchdog group the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign filed a complaint Wednesday with the Government Accountability Board related to donations that exceeded the $10,000 limit allowed to be given during the campaign period. The donations came between July 1, 2008, and the end of last year.

The largest donor was Michael White of River Hills, who gave $15,000 -- $5,000 above legal limits.
Does cronyism and pay to play sound like great government to you?

Oust Polticians who Lie in Campaign Ads? We Need it Now!!!

The British kicked out one electoral winner for lying in his campaign ads. Does it usurp the will of the people to choose a lying bastard to represent them, or should government campaigns have a higher LEGAL bar in place to protect the voters right to know the truth? ABC News:
