USN&WR, of all places: Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker Is a Koch Brothers Puppet

There’s an ad running on television throughout the state of Wisconsin. It was funded by the unions and it speaks the truth. It features a firefighter speaking about the governor of his state, Scott Walker; a man unwilling to compromise. It speaks of the governor’s true goal: destroy the unions; regardless of who lies in his path in doing so. This ad speaks to the true victims, the people.


See, most people believe that union workers are all Democrats. They’re not. And the firefighters are a great example of that. Although the firefighters and the police are exempt from the legislation being pushed upon the public workers and the middle class in the state of Wisconsin, these individuals as well as their organizations stand behind their fellow public workers.

There’s been a lot of talk about this ad. How effective it is, how it speaks to hearts and minds, emotions and how it involves outside money.

The politicians in Wisconsin, specifically the governor, claim that this fight is about money. Hogwash. And I want to personally thank Americans for Prosperity, an organization funded by and cocreated by the Koch brothers--one of the largest contributors (over $40,000) to Walker’s campaign by the way--for helping me to prove that.
