Tea Party Terrorists obtain taxpayer funding in "broke" Wisconsin

[TheBigotBasher]

Madison -- Twelve current Wisconsin Republican state Senators have forced taxpayers to finance their private membership in the corporate special interest group, the American Legislative Exchange Council, according to documents obtained through an open records request by One Wisconsin Now. The list includes nine Senate Republicans who had taxpayers finance their ALEC memberships this year at the same time they were voting to strip collective bargaining rights from Wisconsin workers and planning drastic cuts to education, health care and public services, claiming the state is in fiscal crisis.

“Senators like Dan Kapanke and Alberta Darling claim the state is broke, but they use our tax dollars to pay for their private membership in a corporate special interest group,” said Scot Ross, One Wisconsin Now Executive Director. “The American Legislative Exchange Council is nothing more than a corporate propaganda machine and Kapanke, Darling and the other 10 Senate Republicans should immediate return the taxpayers’ money and apologize for this improper use of our tax dollars.”

Republicans claim the taxpayers are hard pressed and should not fund the poor but Rethugs believe that taxpayers should fund Tea Baggers, because after all they are downtrodden and put upon.

1. Holy cow. Unbelievable. K&R

2. If the taxpayers paid for the memberships then the taxpayers

are entitled to see all documents, get any minutes of any meetings, get any information that they desire.
If these people refuse to answer questions about the membership then the taxpayers should sue them
for theft

3. Absolutely.

Good point, I trust a resident is in the position to demand this.
