So, It's the anniversary of the infamous fake Koch call, and last year we were getting our heads and our activism together for the long haul, much of which is now a reality of incredible progress, incredible success, incredible outrage, and incredible momentum to carry through with this passion for restoring the Wisconsin we recall.
It's also the anniversary of a personal awakening which I wrote about, but since I couldn't get any Wisconsin media outlets I had access to at the time interested, and didn't yet realize the power-house Kos would be to the Wisconsin cause, I dropped the story and hit the streets with the message - literally. There was too much work to be done.
I had become alarmed at the portent of findings I assembled to figure out how past events had converged in this outrage. I rather suddenly realized that the upcoming Supreme Court election would be key to just how hard our road ahead would be. We all know now that that road was tilted several more degrees against us with Prosser's re-election; that it was covered with slime and had a blind intersection where a truck from Waukesha with no brakes was set loose on us just as we reached safety at the first stop. But we marched ahead despite that wreck, and despite any and all obstacles thrown in our way.
So, as we reminisce over last year's latest outrage, let's look back from that time to what got us to that point. With slight updates of tense, here's what I wrote one year ago. Eat your cheese-curd on the way; you'll need the strength.
