How does Governor Walker spend his workdays?  Check out this interactive chart, developed by the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism.  The Center obtained Walker’s calendars through an open records request, then developed a database of all calendar entries.  The Center also breaks down the companies Walker met with and the donations made to Walker by each company, so you can get a sense of how money impacts access to Walker’s time.

On Postecret today (May 27th). There’s no way to know if it’s a real secret or not, but Kathy Nickolaus is still in Waukesha.

One thing’s for sure.  Walker’s a threat to democracy.

Wisconsinites, if you need a recall pep talk, this one is for you.  Keep fighting the good fight.

Among registered voters, Barrett leads Walker 47% to 46%.  But, among likely voters, Walker leads 48% to 47%, making voter turnout crucial.

Thanks a million, #WI! #RecallWalker!

Wausau Paper will be closing its historic mill in Brokaw, laying off about 450 people.  The mill first opened more than 100 years ago.

Meanwhile, Gov. Walker signed bills into law yesterday that:

• Allow homeowners to use deadly force against trespassers 
• Cap attorney fees 
• Allow school officials to use standardized tests to discipline or fire teachers
• Allow liquor sales to start at 6 a.m.

These new laws are the product of what Walker calls his “laser-focus” on jobs.

Governor Walker signed his budget bill into law on June 26, 2011.  Since then, Wisconsin has lost jobs every single month, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“Corporations, and individuals allied with corporations, were invited to come in and take what they would. I determined that the power of this corrupt influence, which was undermining and destroying every semblance of representative government in Wisconsin, should be broken.”  - Fighting Bob LaFollette.

On, Wisconsin.

from timetruthhumor:

Republicans are pulling out some of their greatest hits of dirty tricks in Wisconsin.

Corporate front group Americans for Prosperity is mailing absentee ballots to Democrats in at least two districts with instructions to return the ballots after the election date.

We’re just one week out from Wisconsin’s recall elections and it’s more important than ever that we talk directly to voters on the ground to give them real information on when and where to vote. Can you join us and make calls to Wisconsin voters this weekend to help Get Out The Vote for next Tuesday’s election?

Yes! I’ll make calls to Wisconsin voters this weekend.

Sorry, I can’t make calls, but I’ll contribute $5 to help air TV ads in these districts.

Talking directly to voters on the phone is important. It cuts through the lies and spin and is one of the most effective ways to Get Out The Vote. We can’t win these elections without that kind of people power, so please join us today.

Thank you for all that you do.
