Nice Deb has a really good roundup on this attempt to punish those in Wisconsin who helped Scott Walker stand up to the unionistas, and improve education for the state’s schoolchildren.
Multiple Tea Party groups will be supporting those who will be subjected to this legislative bullying, as will The Committee to Defeat Barack Obama. There will be a “Restore Common Sense” tour to raise awareness of the bullies’ tactics.
CNN:
Two of the nation’s prominent tea party groups will merge for a Wisconsin bus tour in support of six Republican state senators facing recall elections.
Tea Party Nation and Tea Party Express will kick off their four-day “Restoring Common Sense” tour Friday, holding rallies in multiple cities and defending Republicans who supported Gov. Scott Walker’s controversial bill that curbed collective bargaining rights for state employees earlier this year.
“The tea party stands for fiscal responsibility, and Republican Senators in Wisconsin stood firm for those principles,” said Amy Kremer, chair of Tea Party Express. “Now they are under attack for doing the job they were elected to do. It is critical that we support and defend them from these undeserved attacks and in that effort we are proud to be joined by our friends at Tea Party Nation.”
The next round of recalls, scheduled for Aug. 9, is part of a summer-long series of elections pitting six Republicans and three Democrats against challengers. An incumbent Democrat already won the first election in July.
If three Republicans can’t keep their seats, then the GOP will lose control of the state legislature and Democrats could be poised to overturn Walker’s budget reforms.
