Among the funds that flowed into the Wisconsin Club for Growth was $700,000 from a company trying to build a massive open-pit iron mine in northern Wisconsin. Soon after the 2012 recall and general elections, Walker and Republicans eased environmental regulations, helping the firm.
"The Governor is encouraging all to invest in the Wisconsin Club for Growth," said an April 28, 2011, email from Kate Doner, a Walker campaign consultant, to R.J. Johnson, an adviser to Walker's campaign and the advocacy group. "Wisconsin Club for Growth can accept corporate and personal donations without limitations and no donors disclosure."

(4,949 posts)GTac lusts to rape Her. Walker lusts to pimp Her.
Our pristine land, our natural resources does not really "belong" to anyone. Yet we are stewards of Her and it is our responsibility to protect and maintain Her. Mother Earth gives life to us, while at the same time some seek to exploit Her to death.
May those who use Her for their own greed to line their pockets and give them a false sense of power BURN IN HELL!!
(And it can't happen soon enough-->long overdue IMHO.)
