I, personally, would like to see this get more play in Wisconsin. I live in the western part of the State so none of these are my reps, but geez… I’d love to see this get more play.

And, so far as I can tell, this is not getting any press in Wisconsin. I blame the limp media in WI for much of Walker/GOP abuses, they are firmly in the press-as-stenographer camp (except for the more right-leaning publications, of course).

Incredibly frustrating.

Republicans in Wisconsin come cheap.

Have you written letters to the editor? Called the news department of your local TV station and asked why they haven’t covered the story? If you got maybe half-a-dozen friends to call and write, the local media would be likely to pick it up.

Adelson must be pissed.

If you are NOT an entity buying your wedge of Wisconsin, please raise your hand.

That money’s not worth the paper it’s printed on!

Play your card statesman, play your card!

(For knee jerks - I’m saying, go tell everyone in your influence, it’s your state - you can do it!)

Gosh they sell themselves pretty cheap these days. My god…

$250 - $500 per Congressman for a $100 million tax cut? That’s crazy talk.

In John Roberts’ America this story ain’t no thing. It is just business as usual. Unless we can find a quid pro quo it is just Kimberly-Clark expressing their freedom of speech.

This more than any issue is what is wrong with American democracy. People vote for representatives to do the right thing, not to accept legal bribes called campaign contributions.

Kimberly Clark is a big time advertiser. Once upon a time a publisher wouldn’t care if it lost an advertiser, but these days money talks, journalistic standards walk.
