Northeast Wisconsin is NRA heaven. Ron Kind barely wins his elections. But, this was still an act of cowardice.

6. I finally did, this morning

sent an email and asked him how afraid was he of the NRA? He had some BS on his website about not believing in "Executive Privilege" or some such lie. I asked if he was so principled, why didn't he get the facts on the whole contempt charge, and that he would not be getting my vote this fall.

I heard he takes money from the Kochs. I will be investigating further. But he is the NRA darling candidate, that much is provable with just a few searches online.

into office there was a democratic legislator who had promised to vote with Walker.... I can't remember who that was... I'm going to have to do some looking... I'm wondering if this might be the same person... If anyone remembers that crazy time and who that legislator was please post..

are running scared silly of the NRA....

I couldn't believe their power until I saw people who I thought were rational, moderate individuals rush out to get their concealed carry permits....there have been about 100K permits issued..

the NRA has money and loonies on its side.

4. The only way there could be a primary challenge

would be through a write-in campaign. The deadline to file for the August primary was June 1. In reality, a successful write-in within six weeks is highly unlikely.
