One Wisconsin Now obtained an audio recording from a June 12 meeting of leaders of the state’s Tea Party movement, led by Tim Dake, head of the GrandSons of Liberty, and who serves as a regular spokesperson for Wisconsin’s Tea Party organizations and is widely viewed as the movement’s Wisconsin leader.

In the audio Dake lays out the plans, detailing contact between himself and Reince Preibus, the Republican Party of Wisconsin Chair and Mark Block, state director of Americans for Prosperity-Wisconsin.

Said Dake: So, what were hoping is that the various groups in the coalition plus Americans for Prosperity and Mark Block, who has been in on this, and the Republican Party, and this is coming all the way from the top Reince Priebus has said, “We’re in.”

Wisconsin state Senate President Scott Fitzgerald,

“If we win this battle and the money is not there under the auspices of the unions,” he said last week, “Obama is going to have a much … more difficult time getting elected and winning the state of Wisconsin.”


Red state

The Democrats, unions and the progressives in Wisconsin know their time is very, very short and are going to pull out all the dirty tricks. They have to try to get GOP Senators and Stonewall Walker recalled by whatever means (wink-wink) before the inevitable economic improvement and resulting poll numbers that will put them in a minority for at least a generation. Something that shouldn’t be taken lightly is just how important Wisconsin is to Barack Obama’s chances of getting re-elected. Passing the voter ID law will force Barack Obama to campaign heavily in the state on what is traditionally a very reliable blue state for the general election.




Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen .

"There is little doubt the requirement will suppress some turnout -- the turnout of those who vote illegally,"



Republican Senators must vote against Voter ID
