Republican contributions for Walker’s recall

More than half of Republican contributions for Walker’s recall fight are from outside Wisconsin.

December 21, 2011 -- Scott Walker is not only getting untold and unaccountable amounts of money from the Koch Brothers and Karl Rove right-wing factions.

He’s also getting oodles of cash from many out-of-state Republican contributors who seem very interested in making sure he stays the Grand Demogogue of Fitzwalkerstan.

When it comes to how Walker has been given the opportunity to have unlimited amounts of campaign contributions and is still going to get recalled, it shows the power of Wisconsin grassroots efforts are much stronger than the astroturf versions devised by Walker supporters.

Leading the pack is the scumbag who funded the disgusting and discredited “Swiftboat” campaign against John Kerry in 2004, Bob Perry.

Karl Rove has stated that Perry is “willing to write checks to support Republican candidates.” Perry has given at least $7 million to Karl Rove’s superPAC “American Crossroads.“ Foster Friess, second on the list, is part of the oh-so-exclusive Koch Brothers’ Million-Dollar Donor Club.
