Heading to work so this will be brief. According to the Center for Media and Democracy, WI state Rep. Jeff Stone has introduced a bill that makes a shockingly open attack on what's left of a democratic system. They're trying again on voter ID and cutting back on weekend voting, but most disturbing are proposals to eliminate some of the few inadequate reporting requirements we have for political spending, make it easier for lobbyists to cut campaign checks, and codify the right of corporations to spend without limit on political campaigns.

I'm not sure I could come up with all of this if I were writing a dystopic novel. I certainly hope my fellow citizens do not let this bill pass quietly.
