We recently brought you the story of how much money the public school privateers are willing to spend in order to profit off of our children’s education! Then since that story, we have found out that Voucher schools actually under perform public schools, despite their immense advantages. We also recently found out that the Federal [...]
We have brought you the story before that the current round of “education reform” is a myth, that its just a ruse to try and privatize education so certain people can get their hands on our education money! We all know that Scott Walker in his latest budget wants to vastly increase taxpayer money going [...]

Alright, I’m heading downtown, so I’ve stopped updating as of 8:46 PM. Of course, dedicated political people tend to be glued to Twitter or at election night parties, but just in case anyone wants to sound off, here is the place. Two helpful links: 1. Channel3000′s election night coverage. 2. The Dane County Website Note [...]
That is the question Michael Basford, the Chair of the Dane County Democratic Party is asking. I have a little different question.
Tuesday February 19, 2013 is Wisconsin Primary Day! There are only a couple races on the ballot, but these races are very important! 1.

With his focus on jobs, Scott Walker should be engaged in a thoughtful fact-driven process to determine the mix of infrastructure [...]
Today, the newest Wisconsin legislature will be sworn in and then they get to work(which is good because the Wisconsin legislature has not worked since March)! While Scott Walker has said he wants to stay away from such divisive policies as before to focus on jobs(thus proving that his first two years he cared about [...]

Thankfully we live in Dane County and are addressing the problem locally. However we have much work to do and [...]
Summer 2012, the Wisconsin republicans had the world by the balls. They had control over the State Assembly, the State Senate, the Governor and the Supreme Court. They were virtually untouchable(except for a recall). Then something happened, they tried to Govern. We all know the mess of ACT 10 and the turmoil and lawsuits that [...]
It kind of looks like the right-wing efforts in Florida backfired: The plan, coordinated by at least 150 black pastors, is called “Operation Lemonade.” On Wednesday, I visited New Birth, parking near the van that promotes his radio talk show, and finding Curry’s office in the sprawling, 10-year-old gated complex. Outside the chapel, there’s a signed message [...]
