Wisconsin: drama, drama, drama
"The more than 8,000 emails we got today, the majority are telling us to stay firm, to stay strong, to stand with the taxpayers," Walker said of the emails. "While the protesters have every right to be heard, I'm going to make sure the taxpayers of the state are heard and their voices are not drowned out by those circling the Capitol."-Gov. Walker
A local newspaper sued the Governor's office after he made this claim, today the AP announced the results of 26,000 emails in seven days. The results: 55% of them were supportive of the Governor and 44% were scathing opposition. There are thousands of emails that weren't analyzed over the past few months since the story broke. The Governor's quotes only make him seem desperate to seem popular and on the right side of the issue.
"Thanks for the 10% pay cut, I can't believe that I voted for you. Get bent." Is one of the emails found written by a Department of Corrections employee.
This is only the latest drama amid a bloggers' fake phone call which resulted in a few more embarrassing quotes about the anti union bill and the protests at the height his unpopularity.
There are stories coming out of the woodwork of corruption, pandering, giving bonuses, and in general this Governor is losing his state, he may be able to hold on with the amount of support and money he may be able to convince people to stop protesting. Tawdry politics always leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
And those people are still protesting! Veterans, Police, Firefighters, Students, Elderly, Progressive celebrities like Joe Biden and Al Sharpton. This issue won't go away more drama keeps piling up in the Governors' mansion.
Desperation will not save Governor Walker or any of the Republicans up for recall, the people are infuriated.

Eight Civics Lessons from Governor Walker
I live in Wisconsin and last November amid Tea Party protests going on all over our state we somehow elected a guy who obviously can't understand how the democratic process SHOULD work, he makes it work for him. The buyers remorse I have is that the democrats that were and have been elected have not taken an aggressive point of view here. The Democrats ran away which admitedly is all they could do but there wasn't any national democratic support, now they support the recall elections which is a continuati on of lukewarm support for the issue. It's okay though because with progressiv e movements mobilizing in our state, in 2012 we won't allow another GOP government agenda takeover, we get the overthrow the government every 2 and 4 years. Scott Walker hasn't done much about unemployme nt in this state but I think he'll change his mind about what he did when he losses his job after the voters kick him out.

Operation Odyssey Dawn: US strikes Gaddafi's defenses
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on the strikes and US involvement in Lybia:
“I support the actions taken today by our allies, with the support of several Arab countries, to prevent the tyrant Moammar Qaddafi from perpetrating further atrocities on the people of Libya. And I support the President’s decision to deploy U.S. assets to help those allies to enforce a no-fly zone to protect Libyan civilians as laid out in the United Nations resolution. This U.S. military action was not taken lightly, and it was done in concert with a broad international coalition. Yesterday the President presented Qaddafi with the option of pursuing an immediate cease fire and other actions, and outlined the consequences if he refused. Qaddafi rejected the offer, and continued to launch attacks on the people of Libya. With our allies, it is crucial that we ensure the Libyan people do not suffer any more at Qaddafi’s hands.”
