VIDEO: WI recall news as Tuesday primary approaches



Here's a parade for Shelly Moore, a high school teacher who will probably face Subsidy Sheila Harsdorf, a state senator who supports Koch whore Gov. Scott Walker's radical agenda. We says "probably" because the Republicans are running a fake Democrat against her on Tuesday and, in yet another nasty trick, are encouraging Republicans to vote for the fake Democrat (Wisconsin allows crossover voting in primaries).

This weekend, volunteers all over the state phone banked and knocked on doors, reminding people to vote in the primary on Tuesday. All six Democrats are facing fake Democrats.  The real Democrats are Moore, Nancy Nusbaum, Sandy Pasch, Jen Shilling, Fred Clark and Jessica King.

We learn today that Lex Luther Olsen spreads lies about his probable opponent in Lies, Damn Lies and Luther Olsen by Politiscoop. Olsen, a Republican state senator who's been busy trying to dismantle the middle class, claims that most of Democrat Fred Clark's donors live outside of Wisconsin. The truth is this:
Clark actually has more than twice the number of in-district contributors than does Olsen...
Clark reports that nearly 92 percent of his contributions were for $50 or less, and 52 percent of donations were $5 or less. The large number of small, individual contributions reflects the support for Fred Clark from the struggling middle class for who are being strongly impacted by the draconian legislation being rammed through the Republican held Senate and Assembly.
We Are Wisconsin is signing up people to get out the vote for our Teamster brother Dave Hansen, the state senator who stood up for the middle class by fleeing to Illinois to prevent a vote on destroying government unions. Hansen faces a deadbeat with a record of arrest for domestic violence in the first actual recall election on July 19. If you live near Green Bay, sign up here.

Oh, and we will recall Scott Walker in 176 days.
