1 Million Signatures to Recall Walker!!

After the Koch brothers puppet, Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin took office.   Scott Walker eliminated collective bargaining rights for unions, cut public education and enacted one of the most restrictive voter ID laws in the nation.
Scott Walker was elected with only 1.2 million votes.
Over 1 million citizens signed the recall petition.
Start packing Scott.
Congratulations Wisconsinites!!
 Time to celebrate with my favorite song.
"where working class kicks corporate ass
from sea to shining sea"

Governor John Kasich Should Resign

Resign now John Kasich!
Governor John Kasich of Ohio, who campaigned on a jobs platform was just slapped silly with a 26 point loss delivered by his constituents.  Instead of working on jobs, the ex-Fox talking head crafted a bill that destroyed the collective bargaining abilities of unions.  The ex-Fox anchor had not run on a platform of attacking unions, but that was his first priority as a new governor.  Ohioans were outraged at the bills passage and quickly gathered a million and a half signatures to get SB 5 on the ballot.   Now his signature bill is flamed by irate Ohioans, what an embarrassment for the governor.  The second least popular governor in America, Kasich is polling about 30%.  If he had to run against his Democratic challenger again, polls show he would lose by 18 points.  With the governors 26 point loss today, those polls should be suspect.  Today, was a great day, for progressives, liberals, union workers and democrats.  United they worked hard to deliver a stinging defeat to a governor who wanted to rule the people, instead of serve the people.  Three cheers for Ohio!
