Political involvement should be a requirement for citizenship

Woman Explains Why Wisconsin Citizens Vote Against Their Own Interest (VIDEO)

By Leave a Comment

Liberty Tree Foundation for the Democratic Revolution is conducting its 2nd biannual Democracy Convention in Madison Wisconsin between August7th and August 11th. Many activist organizations are presenting conferences including Move To Amend, Code Pink, Liberty Foundation, Alliance For Wisconsin State CapitolDemocracy, & Veterans For Peace.

One cannot escape the beauty of downtown Madison with that State Capitol where workers stood last year in the thousands to attempt to ‘persuade’ Governor Scott Walker and his cohorts from dismantling what workers have fought for. After-all, isn’t Wisconsin the birthplace of the Labor Movement?

One can only wonder why Wisconsin citizens would elect representatives that vote against their own interest. One can only wonder why the recall of Governor Scott Walker failed after he defiantly accelerated the destruction of Wisconsin’s unions.

Deena Brazy, an attendee to the conference explains the dynamics of Wisconsin politics. She articulates the craftiness of politicians to use the most negative of humans’ instincts that as oppose to helping all, in the long run hurts all.

Why did Wisconsin citizens elect these politicians? Could it be that it is simply because their fellow citizen who work for the state has union benefits not as good as theirs? That being the case, why take benefits as oppose to fighting in solidarity to make life better, a living wage with benefits for all?

Since you made it here …

… we have a small favor to ask. We have a lot of people reading our Progressive leaning fact-based blog posts and thousands listen to our Politics Done Right radio/multimedia program. We want to keep our reporting, blogging, and the featuring of Progressive politicians, activists, and everyday citizens that do not normally get coverage.

In that light, we developed our 10-point plan on how we will be an activist interactive publication for not just talking, not just being keyboard warriors, but empowering all to engage in whatever manner they can.

But we need your support to help us realize the venture. Please consider either subscribing to our network or contributing what you can. Even $1 goes a long way.
