Wisconsin: Astroturf in Action

From Cognitive Dissidence....



While the Barrett campaign and those on the left, have actual grass roots and Wisconsin people power and boots on the ground, armed with a clipboard and pen.

What does the Walker campaign have(besides paid out of state agitators) As Fox News itself reports "Americans for Prosperity Poverty has supplied their workers with "cell phones, dialing software, a bus that has been traveling the state, Ipads, and tablets with campaigning software, and their own media machine. Astroturf in Action.

Do we want a few out of state agitators and billionaires deciding Wisconsin's future or do wewant the people of WI to be able to govern themselves?

We know what the Founding Fathers wanted, what will the people of WI chose?




There's a link to the Fox coverage at the site.

that "just happen" to e roaming around Wisc. in support of Walker's regressive policies.

I sincerely opt that those buses are met with eggs and rotten produce wherever they go.
