Will anyone stop the Walker/Koch Wisconsin Republican ruling party and their corrupt dictatorship?
Who, with the power to do so, will stop Walker and his Republican dictatorship? So far they have ruled

with an iron fist to force through everything they and the Koch brothers want and have ignored the voices of

the average working class Wisconsinite.

So with all of the corruption taking place under Wisconsins Walker/Koch rule, can we simply ignore the

following:


**The corrupt Wisconsin Republican legislature is finalizing a bill to close ten Department of Motor

Vehicle centers located in Democratic districts within the state. The money

saved will be used to extend operating hours at DMV centers in Republican

districts. These cuts come on the heels of new voter ID laws that require voters

to present a state-issued photo identification card at the poll booths.

The law is so restrictive that student IDs, even if they have a picture on them,

can't be used to vote. ..............

Read more: http://teamsternation.blogspot.com/2011/07/walker-cuts-...**



So, when added to the list of corrupt maneuvers and forced through policies and law, I ask, who will stop

Walker and his Republican dictatorship?

So far, they have ruled with an iron fist to force through policies to benefit themselves and

corporations (Koch Industries to name one), without consequences. It has been my experience,

that when there are no consequences for illegal and corrupt acts, that they continue.

If no one steps in to stop the Walker dictatorship machine of its rule and the

damage that it is causing for and to the majority in Wisconsin, then what is the incentive

for the Koch/Walker ruling machine, to back off and stop their corrupt and

criminal behavior?


So far, they've gotten away with all kinds of dictatorship like rule, but where

is the outrage of those who are in power and could investigate Walkers Koch

sponsored corruption?

Where is there anyone, who has the power to stop the Walker/Koch machine, taking the necessary steps to stop

this corrupt Walker/Koch dictitorial ruling machine?

The Walker/Koch ruling party, forces through legislation in the middle of the

night, or in the early morning hours when most are asleep (without Democrats present) including the

legislation that now "forces" people to get photo ID's if they

want to vote, and now, the Walker/Koch ruling party wants to close DMV's in Democratic areas while giving

those stolen funds to DMV's in Republican areas where they believe it will help their corrupt rulers gain

votes by people with the proper ID's to stay in power.


How obvious can they be other than literally screaming out "were rigging the system"?

There is no voter fraud going on, but there sure as hell

is election fraud taking place.


Haven't Walker and his operatives also been forcing through redistricting plans

just before the recall elections take place to give the Republicans the advantage?


The government of Wisconsin has been taken over by a destructive force, there are obvious signs of absolute

and one sided rule which flies (openly) in the face of any constitution or two party system of governing.



So, who will investigate and stop the corrupt Koch backed Walker, and his Republican Mafia, along with all of

the other corrupt right wing operatives bought and paid for by the Koch system of governing whos actions indicate that they do not believe in and no longer represent a Democratic system of governing, but rather,

believe in ruling like a corporate sponsored Dictatorship where only one special group of corrupt greedy

people manipulate the system to get everything they want as the will and voices of the people are totally

ignored.


Where are those in positions of power to stop them, those who are supposed to

defend the constitution and investigate unlawful behavior and corruption in

government?


Why all this silence as the state of Wisconsin is corruptly ruled by the

corporate sponsored Republicans and Fuhrer Walker sponsored specifically by the nazi

like brothers Koch?

Where are the investigations, into one of the most corrupt state governments

ever (other than the corrupt government of Rick Scott of Florida) that is?

Crickets?



Wisconsin's Democrats, and all Democrats for that matter, must demand an investigation into the

Walker/Koch ruling machine. Governing for all of the people in Wisconsin has seemingly stopped, but it is

this one sided and corrupt rule by the Republicans that must be stopped.


I'll ask this one more time, is there anyone in power, willing to do their jobs and go up against Koch

industries and their corrupt Wisconsin (Republican puppet) ruling party dictatorship?

If so, will you please

step forward, do the right thing, and stop the march to fascism and the dictatorship that has evolved in

the once great state of Wisconsin?

2. How true. Had we done that last November we wouldn't be in this position now.
But there nothing to be immediately done about the voter ID law and the Supreme Court has said it is OK.

What we can do as Democrats is take a pro-active stance with this and do whatever we can do to help people who need IDs to get them just as we would do to help get them to the polls.

Walker and the GOP are what they are. We need to stop the complaining and the hand wringing and start the doing to deal with the voter ID situation.

6. We need to identify them and do what we can to help, even if their government does not. n/t

14. No, but obviously you start with an idea, then you put the idea into action.
Identify those who are in need of IDs in order to vote and then do whatever is needed to help them to get those IDs.

"Platitude": "a trite or obvious remark". My suggestion might be obvious though it is better than whining or complaining about the voter ID law, but there is nothing trite about the importance of helping people to exercise their right to vote.

5. Losing an election does not mean you forfeit all of your constitutional rights
blaming this on voters is really blaming the victim.

15. The U.S. Supreme court determines what is constitutional & they've ruled the ID law is ok.
People who choose not to vote and then do not like the results certainly are to blame and hopefully they have learned that choosing not to vote has consequences.

3. I truly believe Wisconsinites will recall them all including Walker
And hopefully they will follow up with investigations once they get more Democrats in the legislature. Right now the Democrats can force anything more than what they're doing.

7. Highly doubtful
Everyone who might vote Dem is being purged from the voter rolls as we speak. So when you show up at the polls you'll need a picture id, and Walker is closing most of the DMV offices in Dem areas to make that nearly impossible.

16. You really might be helpful if you had a clue of what you are talking about. You don't.
It's nice to see that you find all of this so amusing.

18. So. Why don't you ball up in a corner and hold yourself? Other people will
get the voter id, even if Walker is working his ass off to prevent that from happening. Somewhat difficult problem, simple solution, out work the republican bastards.

20. Some times "more work" is not the right answer
If I were to play Lebron James in hoops, I can work as hard as I want to, and it will not affect the outcome. Walker and the rest of the criminals in the WI GOP have so corrupted that state that no amount of "ground work" is going to make a damn bit of difference.

If you want to do these things like camping out and signing petitions and help GOTV, that's great, but when all that fails you should not think, "Well, we did our best and lost fair and square", because that won't be the case. You should think of more radical push back than following all of the rules that are made up by the criminals themselves.

I hope to hell I'm wrong, and that you can somehow "outwork" the Cock Brothers. But fighting them on their field, with their rules, and their referees, is a loser over the long haul.

9. Given that Eric Holder is refusing to get involved, this isn't going to end
until some responsible WI citizens start blowing things up - literally. In most civilized countries the streets would have been littered with the bodies of these fascists by now. Our ancestors are rolling in their graves looking at how meek we are. It's sickening.

10. It does seem like
Any day now, Scott Walker will call a news conference and declare himself Emperor of Wisconsin. One wonders what would happen next?

13. Dems will become the majority in the Senate and we will recall Walker.
Edited on Sun Jul-24-11 06:44 PM by undeterred
And we will elect Russ Feingold to be our governor if he is willing. And he and the state government will reverse these measures and make us whole again.

Count on it. :patriot:

22. I take your post very seriously. Our Washington top people are failing
the Country, our Constitution and the people of WI. by ignoring what is going on against the will of the people in WI.
You can call all the moves legal but does not make it so when you discriminate and invent your own Government out of a toilet bowl. Er, I mean, hat.
