Wisconsinites Strike the First Blow

The Supreme Court election in Wisconsin was the first battle in a protracted fight for democracy.

.

Wisconsin voters, angered by recent political developments, turned out at the polls in huge numbers to vote for the Wisconsin Supreme Court candidates, David Prosser and JoAnne Kloppenburg. Wisconsin has become the battleground for the middle-class.

.

What appeared to be an easy reelection for incumbent Supreme Court Justice, David Prosser, ended up being a dead heat with newcomer, Assistant District Attorney JoAnne Kloppenburg -- the apparent winner by 204 votes. Kloppenburg recovered from a 30% deficit in the non-partisan election just two months ago. Nearly one-and-a-half-million voters cast their ballots on Wednesday.

.

This was a clear referendum against the anti-union stance taken by Scott Walker and the Wisconsin Republicans. Other states' Republican Governors in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Florida, and New Jersey have pushed a similar agenda in an effort to eliminate collective bargaining rights of public unions in their states and are facing the same resistance.

.

Walker's agenda became obvious to the citizens in the Badger state when the Republican legislature attempted to break up the public employee's unions, by disguising it as a part of the budget repair bill. Democrat Senators left the state to prevent a budget vote that would also end collective bargaining rights for Wisconsin's public employees.

.

As a result of the Dem's quick thinking, shedding light on the disingenuous tactics, Wisconsin citizens demonstrated for days in front of the Capitol building to express their displeasure. They also initiated recalls on eight of the Republican Senators which immediately energized working people throughout Wisconsin.
