Quick Facts: Who backs Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's campaign against unions?

[Hannah Bell]

Recently shadowy "issue ad" groups that do not disclose their funders as well as heavy hitter political action committees are rushing to the aid of embattled Wisconsin Senator Scott Walker, whose poll numbers are dropping like a rock. The list of outside big money attacking Wisconsin state workers and teachers read like a "who's who" of the Republican donor and special interest group apparatus.

The Koch-funded Group Americans for Prosperity: "Who decides Wisconsin's future?"

The Republican Governors Association: "Stand with Scott Walker"

Club for Growth and Club for Growth Wisconsin

The Karl Rove-advised Economic Freedom Alliance: "We Have the Power"

The Republican National Committee: Stop Obama and His "Union Bosses" Today

Dick Armey's FreedomWorks: "Some of the Most Protected Coddled Employees in the Country"

The Dick Morris-affiliated League of American Voters: "Angry rhetoric, ugly threats, intimidation, even violence. That's not the Wisconsin way."

5. Check out the League of American Voters radio ad- "big government unions"

I just heard this ad on a Green Bay radio station. It casts those who oppose the budget repair bill as "big government". Nice.

"Governor Walker’s courageous fight" is against "big government unions". I didn't know big government had a union...:shrug:

Here's the text, and it's worth listening to the audio clip to hear how the person reading the script skillfully emphasizes "big government".

6. and yet many here argue that this is strictly a WI issue

and does not need a national response.
