Do we want this kind of reform for Wisconsin?? not sure I understand if this is a good thing or not.

The Board of Supervisors in Brussels and Forestville Village Board both voted to join other Door County communities supporting a statewide referendum on campaign finance reform.

The Brussels Board of Supervisors voted Nov. 8 and the Forestville Village Board voted Nov. 21 to approve a resolution asking Wisconsin legislators to put a referendum on the ballot for the November general election, according to Door County United to Amend.

United to Amend is a national association of grassroots organizations to spearhead a movement to amend the Constitution that would limit financial contributions to political campaigns.

Im afraid im not going to make it.........

I fear my heart is going to explode. My Senator, Al Franken, is going to be railroaded out of office, my well being is being tossed aside for the amusement of the wealthy, and my sanity is being toyed with by the FAWKING assholes running my country!!! I’m not going to make it.

OK, now I'm just mad as hell........an Army vet comes forward saying Al Franken cupped her breast.

An Army veteran says Sen. Al Franken groped her in December 2003, telling CNN that while she was deployed in Kuwait, the Minnesota Democrat cupped her breast during a photo op.

Stephanie Kemplin, 41, of Maineville, Ohio, is the fifth woman in two weeks to accuse Franken of inappropriate touching, and the second person to allege that such behavior took place while Franken was on a USO tour. Three of the five women have been identified by name.
Kemplin said while she was stationed in the Middle East during the Iraq War, she met Franken -- at the time, a comedian and writer -- as he was visiting American troops with the USO. A longtime fan of "Saturday Night Live," Kemplin got in line to take a photo with Franken.
"When he put his arm around me, he groped my right breast. He kept his hand all the way over on my breast," Kemplin said in an interview. "I've never had a man put their arm around me and then cup my breast. So he was holding my breast on the side."
