Huge line of people tried to get into Capitol before meeting JSOnline reported 4/1

Madison -- There was a huge line to get into the Capitol just before a March 9 conference committee met, a law enforcement officer testified Friday.
Capitol Police Officer Dan Blackdeer, who headed the Capitol command post that day, said only one of eight entrances was open before the meeting. He described a “bottleneck” at the entrance.

WI 3/29 Spotlight - American's for Prosperity in Wisconsin - CMD

Center for Media and Democracy's PR Watch shines some light ...

A CMD Special Report: Who Are the Headliners at Koch-Funded AFP Conventions? by Lisa Graves

 headliners at Koch-funded "Americans for Prosperity" (AFP) conventions in the state in the past two years. The events featured select candidates who were running for office, including gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker, Attorney General candidate J.B. Van Hollen, judicial candidate David T. Prosser, Jr., and Congressman James Sensenbrenner. 

American's for Prosperity ... it used to be so simple you generally knew whether a group was to left or right just by name ... this one still follows the rules!  If it has America or American in it's name it was to the right ... but unfortunately things are a lot harder now.  The "Flag" is used by everyone lately!

WI - Upd3/26 - Supreme Politics - Kloppenburg vs Prosser 3/22 in Milwaukee

 3/26 Saturday Morning
There was a debate last night - anybody change their mind? 


There he goes again -

Prosser calls Kloppenburg an 'ideologue' from JSOnline 

‎Probably what he should have called Chief Justice Abrahamson instead of B****!

Almost a comedy script ...  do you think JoAnne Kloppenburg can prevent someone of her Facebook friends from writing that Prosser or the Governor is a "turd"?  In the exercise of free speech how does that compare with him calling the Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice a "b**ch"!

Related ... WI - Justice is a five letter word ... Prosser VS Kloppenburg

From the source - at least it rhymes :

“It says, 'Stop the turd, vote Kloppenburg,'” he said. "Am I the turd or is the governor the turd?"

Kloppenburg defended the Facebook page, saying she was not responsible for what others post there.

 Another voice from the Isthmus:
Emily's Post: David Prosser's poor temperament, Scott Walker's blatant hypocrisy by Emily Mills 

Update: 3/23
Enraged by Walker, activists put Kloppenburg’s Supreme Court campaign on their shoulders

WI - Walker under the covers ... more Political Appointees ... lest we forget

Do you want impartial government or appointees on a political leash? 

3/21: A rumor: does anyone have the resources to "refudiate" -  The Walker Administration is using the 37 appointee positions secured by his Budget Repair to replace "public information officers" with appointees with the intent to be able to better control the message (across several/all state agencies)???
