As I watched the news focused on 80,000 people in the streets and night after night people filling the Wisconsin Capitol Rotunda a nagging trepidation began to creep into my consciousness....Governor Scott Walker was going after Unions in a way no one else had before and no amount of reasoning or opposition was going to stop him from accomplishing his goal....I KNEW there had to be a force behind this mans actions that gave him pure arrogance to go up against so many constituents in such a callous uncaring way...It was pitting Union against Non Union with someone holding him up pulling the levers behind the curtain... The play book that became sadly successful in that State started sweeping the country in virtually every Republican held legislative body and the fight for our Unions very existence was in the balance. At the same time we were fighting for Unions right to Collectively Bargain we were also seeing sweeping legislation when it came to womens health care with an open attack pointed directly at Planned Parenthood. Another hot bed issue that riled thousands.....It was clear...The country was being divided on ideological lines and what was unclear was who was going to win! That began my FIGHT to make people aware of ALEC and the KOCH brothers and what their influence was attempting to have on the country....Citizens United solidified their ability to pour as much dark money as was needed to finish the job......Now you have to decide.....are you going to just simply lay down and take this or are you going to get up off your asses and get everybody you know to the Polls to bring this giant down? Its up to YOU!
