I’m sorry, I didn’t make my point clearly. I understand why crap like this is happening, my question was along the lines of why the governor of the state has not done anything about it to this point, and the reasons why he has not.

“When American Citizens fear their government and police it is the time to speak up, not be silent.”

Exactly Kathy! when the people are too afraid to speak up, they have won. They already think they won because a lot of their intimidation tactics seem to work - calling us racist, making fun of conservative ideas, the media controlling info - all right out of the Alinsky playbook.

So it’s even more imperative that we fight back NOW, before it is too late.

I agree with your statement/questions “my question was along the lines of why the governor of the state has not done anything about it to this point, and the reasons why he has not.”

LOL. I not only vote, I also don’t like it when my or others rights are trampled. Walker seems to be okay with it. If he can’t stand up for himself and his loyal supporters, he’s not the man we need to stand up to a tyrannical government.

If you knew me, you’d know your insults were out of place, so I reciprocate the deferred blame you graciously offered me.

Which means there is a very short window of time for much to be exposed. Anybody who doesn’t have the wisdom and guts to do that exposing is effectively signing over the entire country to this level of lawlessness.

The current political machine destroys people and families - normal people and families who have done nothing but live their lives honestly. Those who side with the machine are complicit in what happens to these families.

It's still all in litigation BUT the state [taxpayers] has been having to to pay for the defense of the DA and the prosecutor.

March 4, 2015: "MADISON, Wis. — Taxpayers conservatively have spent north of $775,000 defending the prosecutors of a politically charged John Doe investigation driven on a legal theory that even the prosecutors have rejected.

The state, as of Monday, had paid $368,654.60 for the legal defense of Francis Schmitz, the special prosecutor for the multi-county John Doe probe into dozens of conservative organizations and Gov. Scott Walker’s campaign, according to information obtained by Wisconsin Reporter through an open records request................."

Oh my gosh. Walker was REQUIRED by the courts to say nothing. There are dozens of John Doe cases and everyone was REQUIRED by the courts to stay silent. I don’t know how to be more clear. Gee.

Oh my gosh. The most important thing to do when faced with this utterly unconstitutional bull**** is to NOT stay silent, but to make a racket, blow every cover, hire an attorney, go to court, and sue all the way to the SCOTUS. I don’t know how to be more clear. Gee.

How the hell have you survived all the way from ‘97 with your snarky a-hole attitude and firm dedication to a fascist-style government??!?

Please excuse my misuse of the SCOTUS ping list. You simply must read about this abhorrent abuse of the law in Wisconsin.

Glad you posted this, I read about and could not believe the Wisconsin “John Doe” investigations a while back and then that NR article yesterday. It is incredibly important and I was so glad to hear Limbaugh push it this today.

I would have positioned myself in a prime spot to start shooting as they poured in the door. This is nonsense. Tyranny at it’s best. I never would have opened the door.

I’d have taken my shotgun and blew their heads off if they trespassed on my property.

You need to educate yourself on this, instead of opportunistically slamming Walker.

TM Ping.

Please read the article.

This act of terrorism, by US Citizens acting on other US Citizens, took place in Wisconsin, USA.

Thanks, anonymous.

IMO an article as important as this should have everyone with a ping list abuse and use! The word needs to be out!
All involved with this fiasco should have consequences to their actions. Following orders is no excuse !
