The tactics being used in Wisconsin to create a GOP dictatorship are both dangerous and clever. The fiendish Koch/ALEC cabal that Weyrich, Norquist et al have developed over the years can bring this state and this country to ruin. Sadly, the major "news" media, in great part bought and paid for by Big Business, far too rarely report the treasonous acts of the GOP. Sadly, too, even in the best of democratic times, there's an apathy among voters. Voting takes time. "My vote can't make a difference, " etc. And this apathy is just what the GOP strategists are counting on. Now they are re-enacting the anti-voting tactics that prevailed across the South until the late 60's. But in the 60's African Americans and some of their non-Black allies rose up and demanded enfranchisement for all Americans. We'll be back in that anti-vote condition in Wisconsin unless democracy-loving Wisconsinites rise up, go to the polls, and push back the tide of tyranny. We can do it - but only if people VOTE WHILE WE STILL CAN.
