Also reported is thousands of Tea Partiers are headed there as well. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/motherjones.com\/mojo\/2011\/02\/wisconsin-tea-partiers-breitbart-fight-unions\">Mother Jones&#8217; writer Stephanie Mencimer<\/a> sees all kinds of ties and connections to the Tea Party contingent and filthy Republican cash and support;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230;the pro-Walker rally in Wisconsin is not just a product of grassroots citizen spontaneity. American Majority  was founded and is run by Ned Ryun. He is a former speechwriter for George W. Bush and the son of former Kansas Rep. Jim Ryun (R), who was tainted by the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal. Ned&#8217;s twin brother Drew was the deputy director of grassroots for the Republican National Committee in 2004. Drew Ryun also works for American Majority, an outfit run by established GOP operatives. The group gets most of its money from the Sam Adams Alliance, and the alliance&#8217;s funding is not publicly known. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Blah, blah blah, blah&#8230;blah. She continues on, but ya know what? She doesn&#8217;t mention the fact that the supposedly spontaneous teacher strike and the noisy fucks on the Left&#8217;s side aren&#8217;t all that [insert air quotes here] grassroots either (<a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/president-obama-national-democrats-mobilize-state-employee-protests\/story?id=12949812\">ABC News<\/a>);<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Organizing for America, Obama&#8217;s campaign arm now under the umbrella of the DNC, has been mobilizing union members and supporters to rally against a proposed Wisconsin budget measure that would strip workers of collective bargaining rights and force them to contribute more for benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Leaders have initiated phone banks and on-the-ground canvassing, and relied on a social media blitz on Facebook and Twitter to build turnout.<\/p>\n<p>DNC Chairman Tim Kaine also reportedly spoke with Wisconsin union leaders and state legislators ahead of the protests, the Huffington Post reported, signaling his direct involvement in coordinating the effort. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So I guess this kind of like a proxy war and no one is being honest about who is behind what. And it looks like it&#8217;s just a skirmish before the big dogs deal it out over the Federal budget. Did I mention that Mike Pence led the House in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/stories\/0211\/49830.html\">voting down funds for Planned Parenthood<\/a>?
