The truth is powerful stuff. Go ahead Senator Taylor! You're a true patriot!

One dynamic woman.

...and the true purpose of their restrictive bill.


Too bad none of them listened to her, or cared about anything but their corporate donors.


Thanks for posting.

but the one showing Mike Ellis acting and looking like a street thug has been removed?

"WisconsinEye" videotapes the legislative proceedings.
from http://legis.wisconsin.gov/lc/publications/im/im07_02_lak.pdf

• WisconsinEye Public Affairs Network, Inc., is not a state agency. It is a private, non-profit corporation run by a 12-member board of directors. The Legislature’s oversight of WisconsinEye is, in general, governed by the Agreements.

• WisconsinEye has the responsibility to cover legislative proceedings in a professional, dignified, and non-partisan manner. The coverage must always be consistent with the dignity and decorum of the Legislature.

(can it not tape someone whose behavior is inconsistent with the dignity and decorum of the Legislature?)

...To this end, the protocols specify that WisconsinEye must select its camera shots as follows:

• The “primary focus” of WisconsinEye cameras must be on the Presiding Officer and those called on or recognized by the Presiding Officer.
-AND -
• WisconsinEye is prohibited from focusing audio coverage on a person who has not been recognized by the Presiding Officer.

(presiding officer, Thug Ellis turned off Senator Risser's mic, so thereafter Sen. Risser was not recognized)

• WisconsinEye must specifically avoid audio or video, not of designated speakers, which “may be considered in WisconsinEye’s judgment to be embarrassing or selected as to be sensational or invasive to private materials or conversations.”

Can we get her on the news shows doing political commentary rather than that useless nitwit, Sarah Palin?
