WOOHOO, we did it here in OHIO.
We voted en-mass in an off year election
Now all we need to do is keep it up, we need to vote in the primaries.
We need to get as many corrupt politicians out of office BEFORE the general elections.
The rest of the corrupt pols need to know what Kasick just learned. "Oh crap the 99% is awake now"
And our next step in OHIO is to recall our crappy crooked governor.
Damn, there goes Obamacare!

LOL as ohio goes, so goes the nation.
What happened in Ohio cannot happen around the nation. There are 22 right to work states with that number about to grow. Plus, what happened in Ohio has nothing to do with OWS.
Actually, what happened in Ohio, can, and has happened around the nation. Look at Arizona, the biggest neocon state senator was ousted. And a neocon state referendum was defeated in mississippi. All three states are conservative, and the neocon Ideals were defeated.
And what happened here in Ohio is related to OWS, inasmuch that activists got the word out, got the debate going first, then that led to action. Then results.
That same recipe is going to be used over and over and over. The same people that helped repeal Ohio SB 5 (ballot issue 2) are also getting involved in OWS.
And the people of OWS can see that there IS hope, and that people CAN make a difference.
Pal. You need to look up right to work. If you think this can happen in the south and parts of the west you are dead wrong.
Actually, you need to learn from history. If you think that this won't continue after the resent past( neocon over reach, rampant corruption, disenchantment of working peoples) then look back to the 1920's and 1930's. We've been here before, we've already seen how this movie ends.
Well, the AZ guy was replaced by another Republican so I'm not sure how much of a win that was but hey at this point let's take any wins we can get, it's been pretty grim since the slaughter of '10.
It's a big big win, Pearce was a bigtime Neoconservative, his replacement lewis apears not to be, time will tell.
That's the kind of victories we need, to get rid of the neoconservative and neoliberal pieces of crap from both parties.
Which is why we need to vote in the primaries. We need a massive through-the-bums-out turnout this spring in the primaries.
Because when it comes down to it, both neocons and neolibs are corporate shills.
