Nancy Milholland, a coordinator for the Racine TEA Party, said her group organized a Feb. 19 rally for Governor Scott Walker and State Sen. Wanggaard because it was time.
"The recall supporters were out here all the time over the holidays trying to drum up support for petitions," she said. "Now it's our turn."
Through email and Facebook, the TEA Party asked supporters to come out to the corner of Highways 31 and 20 in Mount Pleasant from 1:30 to 2:30 pm on Sun., Feb. 19, 2012. About 200 supporters, many of them from counties outside Racine, held signs touting their support for Walker and Wanggaard.
Scott Kaskin from Genoa City in Kenosha County said he was never involved in politics, but it was time to walk the talk.
"I got tired of complaining and not doing anything," he admitted.
Wanggaard was also on-hand to greet citizens and said he appreciates the support from residents.
"It's great to know people are behind what we're doing in Madison," he told Patch. "But I'm willing to stand on my record because I know we're doing great work for the residents of the 21st District."
Wanggaard faces a recall election later this spring or summer against former Sen. John Lehman, whom Wanggaard defeated in Nov. 2010. Walker and Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch are also targeted. So far, there are at least two Democrats interested in running against Walker, but no one has announced they're running against Kleefisch.

How about a trade off? You stop with your infanticide program and for every child of potential that you would have aborted you abort instead convicted felons such as a rapist, a child molerster and or a murderer.

funny you don't know what ncsl is... (sorry had the letters wrong) it's the same as ALEC ..... only majority of dems belong to it..... Geesh, before you flap you fingers on a keyboard how about you know what you are commenting about....
Gov. Walker left college in his 4th year.... he was offered a lucrative job in marketing with the American Red Cross, and left Marquette before receiving his degree. Big deal.... I suppose you are against someone wanting to work full-time and they should turn down the chance?? Now google that ...
Something else that anyone else does besides unions is give to charity, medical research, donations to the classrooms.... unions do NOT give money to anyone that does not do their bidding.... If you can find any charitable donations the unions have done let me know.... Until then realize that people like the Koch brothers have donated millions to cancer and other medical research, donated to classrooms, etc.
The results show that the majority of the folks in WI do not like the mine bill being pushed on them without the effects of the environment being taken into consideration.!! Fitz and Walkers polls are going down and this will help them go down more! ................... Cynthia 11:08 am on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 Good grief did you read the questions?

http://www.nbc15.com/home/headlines/Poll_Walkers_Favorability_Rating_Dips_Since_January_139960623.html Posted Wednesday, February 22, 2012 --- 6:45 a.m. MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A new poll says Gov. Scott Walker's favorability rating has dipped in the past month. The Marquette University Law School poll released Wednesday says 46 percent have a favorable opinion of him compared to 48 percent unfavorable. Last month, his favorable rating was 50 percent with 45 percent unfavorable. One reason might be an ongoing John Doe investigation into several former Walker aides and associates. The poll says 52 percent of respondents aware of the investigation believe it's "really something serious" while 40 percent say it's "just more politics."......
It's funny how that works, isn't it?

https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#drafts/135aff1292b3a6aa Van Wanggaard - Mining - "It's My Bill" 23 February 2012 .. Wanggaard began talking about the mining bill and how it would create jobs in Wisconsin. As you will see in the video, he seems to be very proud of his bill. It is around the 4 minute mark in the video, ..Wanggaard states that mining will be coming up very shortly. It was then he was asked this question from a member in the audience "Did you at all work with the sovereign nations when you were writing this bill?". ..Wanggaard replies "Sovereign, you mean the Indians?" Questioner:"The tribes". ..Wanggaard then replies "Absolutely". The Senator then recognizes the camera and points out the fact "And you are taping me I know". .. Wanggaard continues "We had several of the Indian tribes, the uh bad land, let’s see is it bad water?" The audience then interjects "Bad River". .. Wanggaard: "there you go, the Bad River tribe actually had a chat with me about it". The audience member injects again "Oh so they were in on the planning?" in which Van Wanggaard replied "oh well I don't know if they were in on the planning, I'm not on the mining commission". Then later in the volley of questions the senator was asked if he would vote for the bill, after a moment of dodging the question, Van Wanggaard tersely replies "Am I going to vote on it? It's my bill!"......
http://rootriversiren.blogspot.com/2012/03/wanggaard-needs-one-good-democrat.html?spref=tw Thursday, March 1, 2012 Wanggaard Needs One Good Democrat It's crunch time for Van Wanggaard and his bill to repeal the Milwaukee residency rule for police and firefighters...they invested quite a few dollars in his campaign and it's time to make good. The Milwaukee Police and Firefighter's have given Van $5,200 - $4,000 since January in return for a bill that will end the residency rule favored by area legislators, including Tom Barrett. Interestingly, Van's bill does not effect residency rules for other municipalities and it does not end the rule for other Milwaukee public employees. Why? Because they didn't give him any fucking money, that's why. So while Van has taken a strong stance against prohibitive and un-American residency requirements, he's only willing to fight for a select few...who happened to have written him a check. What an asshole. Back to the bill...Van doesn't have the votes in committee to pass the bill, so he plans to take it directly to the State Senate, but single-mom hater, Glenn Grothman will not vote in favor of it. That leaves Wanny needing one Democrat who is willing to vote in favor of a bill that preferentially treats one labor group over another with yet another special rule based on campaign dollars. Good luck with that.......
