Wisconsin Tomorrow ~ Class War for 30+ Years ~ Shock Doctrine is the GOP and Big Money Strategy!
Get out the Vote in Wisconsin! The GOP and Big Money Collusion that inspired this brand new political movement (OWS) is coming to a head tomorrow when Wisconsin Voters Vote!! That's right, VOTE!! In America, Voting is the antidote to tyranny! The democratic means to speak up and demand what you want.

But tyrants do not want you to know or believe that Voting is our solution. And they will stoop to any level to discourage, disparage, disenfranchise, purge, you name it, to keep people from Voting. They will even send their trolls and zombies into progressive, democratic, liberal, or leftist Forums masquerading as one-of-them to downplay Voting. And some newbies actually fall for it: "Politics are not cool." "We just want to protest." "The political parties are both working for Big Money." And on and on. Whatever it takes, as long as YOU DO NOT VOTE!!
Don't fall for this. All you have to do to debunk the anti-Vote BS is to look at the UNPRECEDENTED (Secret) Citizens United money being spent by the Big Money and RepubliCon interests. Yes, to compete, Dems have to spend big bucks, too, but just look at WI. Cons and Big Money are out spending the recall effort 7 to 1. The would-be Kings in the 1% and Cons (King-Cons) wouldn't spend that kind of money if Voting didn't matter!! They just wouldn't.
King-Cons are the 900 lb gorilla in our politics, but "special interests" insist that we do not see what is plainly before our eyes. But you are not imagining things, you are seeing clearly, and you can even smell it. That 900 lb gorilla will take your arm off, take your job away, purge you from the Voter rolls, and any number of various unpleasantries. It is real. The naysayers will point at Dems and say "Look, Dems eat bananas, and get money, too! So they're just like King-Cons!" This is another 7 to 1 argument, only in the general election the money disparity is worse, and another instance where the exception does not make the rule. Listen to your instincts.
The King-Con Occupation and dismantling of Wisconsin, as well as IN, MI, NC, FL, AZ, etc. is a strategy called Shock Doctrine: The rise of disaster capitalism, People still reeling from catastrophe hit again with economic shock treatment, losing their land and homes to rapid-fire corporate takeovers. Disaster capitalism exploits moments of shock and extreme violence in order to implement its economic policies in so many parts of the world from Latin America and Eastern Europe to South Africa, Russia, and Iraq. The use of cataclysmic events to advance radical privatization combined with the privatization of the disaster response itself. Now evolved to austerity, capitalizing on crises, created by nature, war or crashed economies, the disaster capitalism complex now exists as a booming new economy, and is the violent culmination of a radical economic project that has been incubating for fifty years. http://www.naomiklein.org/shock-doctrine/the-book

Shock Doctrine is part of the Class War: From frozen 1970's wages, Union busting, to off-shoring, to corporate bank accounts bursting with unprecedented un-invested wealth. A tiny percent of wealthy hoarding all the wealth, while the country and the People spiral. "The American Right has decided that returning the tax rate paid by the wealthiest Americans from what it was during the Bush years (which, incidentally, featured the slowest job growth under any president in our history, at 0.45 percent per year) to what they forked over during the Clinton years (when job growth happened to average 1.6 percent per year) is the epitome of class warfare. Sure, it would leave top earners with a tax rate 10 percentage points below what they were paying after Ronald Reagan's tax cuts, but that's the conservative definition of "eating the rich" these days." http://www.alternet.org/economy/152512/6_ways_the_rich_are_waging_a_class_war_against_the_american_people/?page=1

King-Cons can't win without cheating and sabotage: Election Fraud (voter fraud is a RW myth), lies, media-monopoly propaganda, gerrymandering, RW Hate-Lie Radio, Citizen United secret money, Super PACs; Internet purging, censoring, and sabotaging. The antidote is the VOTE!!!
This is a Class War. Waged by the King-Cons on the 99%. People, get engaged and Vote!!
Oh, and you RW Trolls and Zombies who hate that I remind people of the garlic to your Vampire King-Con masters ~ VOTING ~ FOAD!!
