The political situation in Wisconsin continues to intensify as Governor Walker and the Republican leadership in the State Senate and Assembly dig in. They now have passed what are surely unconstitutional measures to compel the 14 Democratic State Senators to return to the Senate so there will be a quorum and their pro-business, pro-wealthy budgets can be passed at the expense of people on Medical Assistance, the public employees, and the environment. This situation is brought to us by the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to equate money with free speech and corporations as people. Thus, the image above. Corporations are not people, and money is not speech.
I am increasingly concerned about my State and my nation. Real living people are being harmed by governmental decisions taken by Republicans in Congress and in the states. Decisions about cutting services to people who are poor, the ill and the disabled, in order to protect the already massive incomes and wealth of the top 1% are just plain wrong. Our governments should be by the PEOPLE, for the PEOPLE, and of the PEOPLE. The PEOPLE are the point, not the corporations or only a tiny percentage of the people.
