Dean’s Green… Howard Dean’s Grassroots Group Is Funding Wisconsin Fleebaggers
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, March 1, 2011, 2:58 PM
What a shock.
Howard Dean’s Democracy for America is funding the Wisconsin fleebaggers in Illinois.
…And, it looks like this is an apparent violation of Wisconsin election law.
The American Spectator reported:
Former Vermont Governor and Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, a one-time presidential candidate, is the founder of a group that by mid-day of President’s Day had raised over $100,000 in a slush fund to “back” the on-the-lam Wisconsin Democratic State Senators.
The Dean Dollars are being specifically funneled to the Wisconsin State Senate Democratic Committee (SSDC) — an apparent violation of Wisconsin election law that pointedly says, according to the Wisconsin Election Board’s Legal Counsel in a 2005 decision, that the “SSDC may not accept a contribution of more than $6,000 from a single committee in a calendar year.” (Note: the Election Board is now called the “Wisconsin Government Accountability Board.”)
The money, requested in an e-mail obtained over the weekend by The American Spectator, is being solicited in $14 dollar contributions through the Dean-founded million-member “Democracy for America” grassroots organizing group chaired by Dean’s brother Jim. There are no prohibitions on more generous donations of any amount. The funds are being collected through the left-wing “Act Blue” fundraising website, which identifies itself as “the online clearinghouse for Democratic action.”

I figures. He’s a Marcist Lenonist from way back when who helped obammy steal the FL & MI votes from Hillary that were already hers…… He’s a thug experienced in hiring astroturfers.

Howard Dean’s Sharia for America is funding the Wisconsin fleebaggers in Illinois.
Euthanize Howard Dean. The squirrel has rabies.
Chisum commented:
WELL, WELL, WELL……
The slush fund revelation comes on the heels of the discovery by both Fox News reporter Mike Tobin and the Wisconsin-based John K. MacIver Public Policy Institute of an organized effort by some Wisconsin doctors — who were deliberately handing out “doctor’s notes” to teachers feigning illness in order to protest the governor’s legislative plans. Which would be fraud, if proven in court. The Fox report uncovered at least one doctor connection to the presumably taxpayer-funded University of Wisconsin Family Medical Program. The MacIver video, posted over the weekend by my American Spectator colleague Philip Klein, is a particularly stunning depiction of both teachers and doctors quite publicly engaged in what appears to be outright fraud, a question raised by one reporter to an angrily defensive doctor on the MacIver video.
Now we know why the concentrated hated against Mike Tobin.

Wouldn’t this be properly called a bribe? I mean they are allegedly SITTING legislatures. Or is it just if they were Republicans the media would say they were being bribed ….

Sounds like some people have broken the law and should be tried in Wisconsin, doesn’t it?
Skandia Recluse commented:
The democrat party has turned money laundry into a science.
gus commented:
The Democrat Party is a GOONION. Simple as that. Those who are elected as Democrats are FINANCED and OWNED by GOOONIONS THUGS. It’s that simple. And LIBTARDS know it.
Buffalobob commented:
The DNC involved in fraud, naaaaaaaaaaaaa..
BigAlSouth commented:
Wait a minute. Does that make Dean guilty of money laundering? Give Dean all the due process that Tom Delay got . . .
gus commented:
Howard Dean is a LIBTARD FRUITCAKE. Even LIBTARDS know this. Unfortunately, LIBTARDS have decided that lying, cheating and stealing AND hanging with FRUITCAKES is their only hope of not being on welfare.

Where’s my rope. Get a posse and let hunt down some fleebaggers.
Powder is dry.
Annas commented:
We hear over and over that the Unions/Democrats are doing this thing and that thing that is illegal. What is the reason nothing is being done about things illegal?
Scott commented:
The marxist socialist cancer has certainly spread throughout our Republic…More and more communists like Howard Dean are being unmasked however…This is a good thing. Their policies are so foreign to human nature and intellect that they can only effectively gain control through lies, deception, and at the barrel of a gun. The new media are uncovering the lies and deception thankfully. And, the second amendment takes care of the latter threat…Funny how one of Obama’s henchmen agreed with Mao that politics is best administered through the barrel of a gun.

Prosecute Dean, his group and the gang of 14 fleebaggers. . .where does ethics come in and play a role. .enough is enough. . prosecute!

The contrast between Howard Dean and Scott Walker is too freakin’ hilarious!

Dean is an emotionally disturbed LIBTARD. Walker is competant.

Mary Alger, the coordinator of the Crystal Lake Tea Party was grocery shopping when she got the tip. Dropping off her produce, making a quick sign and skirting 15 minutes northwest to Harvard, she met up with “Doc,” a member of the Northern Illinois Tea Party who holds down a full-time job when he’s not hunting Democrats. Lori White, a Spring Grove resident, showed up after responding to a Facebook post on the Rockford Tea Party page asking if anyone near Harvard was willing to drop by the hotel, preferably with a video camera.

*******************************************************************
the tea party doesn’t seem like a bunch of astroturfed union goons being payed to bus into a location or a union payed rent a mob. let’s corner these scumbags and ask them what the media fails to do:
who pays your salaries congressmen, the taxpayers or the unions? do you work for the people of the state or are you a representative of the unions?What does it say about you when you would rather be caucusing at Hooters than at the capitol?
Big L commented:
YEEEEEAAARRRGGGHHHH!
Why doesn’t Walker decalre the Donk seats vacant in WI and appoint
successor. If a legislator was ill and did not show up or died, Ibe that he could
arrange to set an election or appoint a successor to the next election.
eaglewingz08 commented:
If these were republicans accepting corporate contributions while hiding from their official duties, the major dailies would be calling for a federal criminal investigation and prosecution. But there’s no media bias, nuh uh.
SandyfromChesterfield commented:
The support staff for Democracy for America sounds sort of like they have connections with GEORGE SOROS. The chair of Democracy for America is Jim Dean, Howard’s brother. The executive director, Arshad worked with MoveOn PAC during the 2004 elections. The political director, Chamberlain ran campaigns for SEIU and AFL-CIO in Oregon. Lambe, the Campaign Manager for their political department worked for Repower America. The National Field Director, Blizek has done fundraising and online organizing for numerous campaigns including the DNC, MoveOn.org, and Russ Feingold. Passanante, the Deputy National Field Director besides mobilizing progressive activists in 2010, he directed DFA’s Call Out the Vote program. Mulligan, National Field Organizer worked with the Rochester & Genesee Valley Area Labor Federation AFL-CIO to organize AFL-CIO affiliate membership and then worked for Change that Works (SEIU). Rymer, Operations Manager worked for Repower America. Need I say more?
