Koch Joins Wellpoint to Help Fight Wisconsin Recalls in Battle With Labor

Republican and Democratic groups are pouring money into Wisconsin with eight legislative recalls scheduled this month and control of the state Senate hanging in the balance.

The Republican State Leadership Committee, based in Alexandria, Virginia, has spent about $370,000 on the special elections, while the Washington-based Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee has spent about $250,000, according to documents filed with the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board in Madison.

Wellpoint Inc. (WLP), an Indianapolis-based health insurer that has been critical of the new federal health-care law, is among the top donors to Republican organizations active in the contests, including $450,000 to the RSLC and $250,000 to the Republican Governors Association.

Wellpoint gave $842,000 to the RSLC for the 2010 elections. State officials are playing a key role in implementing -- or fighting -- the new health law. Kristin Binns, a Wellpoint spokeswoman, didn’t return a phone call seeking comment.

Go, Dems~!

this WI candidate, Fred Clark, seems to need the most help, donations and other help. If you can send $ 10.00 that would be great. The others might have Corp dollars but there are still more of us than them. He is running against the Republican who called union workers thugs.
this is the last weekend before the vote on Tuesday.

Tuesday night after volunteering at Ft Snelling all day I went to a get out the vote rally in Hudson, WI.
This is the last week to doorknock before the Aug 9th elections. There were 3 people there from NY, teachers who are spending 1 week of their vacation in WI to help get out the vote. Amazing. They also had a handout of all the horrible bills passed in WI. Might as well call Gov Walker, King Walker. Ann



and the propaganda machine is in full force from the "christian" right wing. this is good to share with those in WI.
