Walker and 29 Republican Groups Under Investigat​ion

I just received this info in an email from wisdems.org

I can only HOPE this is true and the Wisc. criminals are thrown OUT!!!!

As reported by the Wisconsin State Journal, 29 conservative groups, including Scott Walker’s campaign, have been subpoenaed in a new John Doe Investigation. And at the center of the investigation is Senate Republican Leader Scott Fitzgerald and his Koch brothers-funded Club for Growth.

Senate Democrats fought for justice during the recalls and to end the assault on Wisconsin’s values. For years, Wisconsin’s public officials – from Bob La Follette to Bill Proxmire – fought to preserve integrity in our state government. We established model state ethics and campaign finance laws. And we took pride in increasing transparency and access to state government for citizens throughout Wisconsin.

Unfortunately, Scott Walker and Senate Republicans are determined to undermine our proud tradition. From Republican legislators signing secrecy oaths, to repeated attempts at weakening state ethics laws, to this new John Doe investigation, Republicans have shown they cannot be trusted to run our state government.

I've really seen Tate and the people he surrounds himself with stick feet in mouths over the years.
