Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Gets The Job Done – Mark Brewer, Not So Much

"Today, Mike Tait, chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party announced that Wisconsin has collected over 500,000 signatures for the recall of Governor Scott Walker.

Wisconsin is well on its way to an election to toss Scott Walker out of office.

As a member of the Democratic Party, I wonder why won’t Mark Brewer, Chair of the Democratic Party in Michigan, get behind a recall effort of Governor Rick Snyder. Snyder’s policies and those of the Republicans in Michigan have been even more devastating to democracy in Michigan than Walker’s policies in Wisconsin, yet Brewer sits on the sidelines, leaving the grassroots to try to recall Snyder with no assistance from the Democratic Party of Michigan.

Maybe it’s time to get elect a new chair of the Democratic Party of Michigan, one that will stand with the people of the state of Michigan in an attempt to get our democracy back from the radical politicians occupying the state house in Lansing."

1. The reason...a backroom Right to Work deal....

Rumor has it (I know, its a great song by Adele but in this case) that Brewer and Snyder made a backroom deal, the state Democratic Party wouldn't endorse a recall on Gov. Rick Snyder, if he didn't sign into law Right to Work legislation...if it hits his desk.

Notice, in all the 247 bills (nearly a RECORD) the Michigan GOP led House and Senate has passed...the right to work bill, although talked about, has not yet been made into a piece a legislation?

Now will this "deal" stick into 2012? Who knows....but it worked for 2011.
