Unbelievable! JoAnne Kloppenburg has apparently edged out Prosser! I can't believe it but I can - so many people have responded to the anti-human agenda of the Tea Party Repubs in Wisconsin. Expected turnout Tuesday was 20% - an awful percentage that speaks directly to apathy. But The People surprised everyone at 33%. Good for us! Most certainly Prosser will ask for a recount but the truth is in - The People are saying they are awakening to What Democracy Looks Like! It doesn't look like a standing supreme court judge who calls a supreme court chief justice a bitch. It doesn't look like officials who are funded by corporate interests. It looks like some serious recalls as the months progress.
Here are some articles I found today you might also enjoy reading.
On the wonderful feelings og Kloppenburg's victory.

Walker handing out favors? No, really?

Today I rode the city bus to an appointment and again in the afternoon I took the bus to another city to meet Andy for an appointment. On that longer ride I was with a full bus of The Common People. I had one of those moments when something becomes crystal clear. I knew Scott Walker, Scott Fitzgerald and the Koch Boys don't give a damn about the common people. Not any of us in the bus today. They don't care about our health concerns or some of our jobless states or our kids. They don't care about whether or not we thrive or barely survive. They don't care about our elders, their health or the paltry amount they live. They care about power and money. They care about the fame and the flattering words written about them. I knew that was the truth.
Well, this is what I have to say - we're coming for you Scott, we're coming for all you Tea Party conservatives. Just be on notice that we're coming. Recall is the word in Wisconsin. You can count on it!
