Zaid Jilani, ThinkProgress: 'Last week, 14 Wisconsin Senate Democrats inspired the nation when they decided to flee the state rather than allow quorum for a vote on a bill that would have decimated the state's public employee unions and dealt a crippling blow to the state's hard-working teachers, sanitation employees, and other middle class union members. Since then, tens of thousands of Wisconsinites have taken to the streets in even greater number than before the walkout in support of the fleeing legislators and in opposition to Gov. Scott Walker's (R) anti-middle class agenda.'

Koch Brothers 'Prank' No Laughing Matter

Mary Bottari, PR Watch: 'Embattled Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker came under fire today after news broke about statements he made in a 20-minute phone call from a Boston-area alternative news reporter posing as David Koch, a billionaire whose PAC directly supported Walker and who has given millions to groups that have run ads to aid Walker's rise to the state's highest office. As the Center for Media and Democracy has reported, the Koch PAC not only spent $43,000 directly on Walker's race, but Koch personally donated $1 million to the Republican Governor's Association which spent $5 million in the state. Besides the Governor, Koch Brother's has other 'vested interests' in the state.'
