The Supreme Court election on Tuesday, April 5 will be the first opportunity for us to experience a meaningful victory in this ongoing fight with Scott Walker and his right wing regime. It is absolutely clear, both in statements and actions, that the current sitting Supreme Court Justice sees himself as a judicial tool of the Walker Administration. The fight that we are in isn’t necessarily a fair fight, but it becomes even worse when the State Supreme Court is tilted to support the governor’s conservative ideology. Much of our struggle has been and will continue to be in the courts. We need to depend on a fair, impartial court to make final decisions as to the rule of the law, and whether the budget repair bill, the budget itself, or any other legislation presented by the Walker Administration violate the state constitution.
It’s unfortunate that in the fall of 2010, many Wisconsin voters opted not to cast their votes. The result of not casting votes is our reality today – Scott Walker as governor and both legislative houses solidly entrenched in right-wing tea party mentalities.
The first lesson to be learned is that we can never let that happen again. We cannot allow our families, friends, coworkers, partners, neighbors and acquaintances to sit on the sidelines. We must all go the extra distance over the next few days to make absolutely sure that there is a strong vote on Tuesday, April 5.
The election of Joanne Kloppenburg on Tuesday will send an earthquake through the Republican establishment from the governor’s office to the legislature to the Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce. There is no question that Prosser and Walker are hooked together by a right wing umbilical cord. Joanne Kloppenburg brings a fresh, new and fair balance to the Supreme Court.
We are angry; we are concerned; we are fearful. Some of us are at wits end. We need to take these emotions and turn them into action by electing Joanne Kloppenburg to the Supreme Court on Tuesday, 4/5.
This is your way to send a message that Scott Walker cannot trample on your rights, your equality, your family and your way of life.
VOTE KLOPPENBURG FOR SUPREME COURT ON TUESDAY, 4/5/11
