Spencer Black & David Newby: Koch Money Behind Scott Walker
February 23, 2011"Wisconsin has a proud tradition in terms of labor, the environment, of people standing up to the power and money of big corporations," says Spencer Black, former chair of the Wisconsin State Assembly Natural Resources Committee. And those big corporations don't like that tradition one bit. The Bradley Foundation, a right-wing organization with connections with the billionaire Koch brothers, has poured money into Walker's anti-union, anti-worker campaign, and they're not stopping with union busting.GRITtv Special from Madison, Wisconsin: February 22
February 22, 2011Welcome to the second day of our special coverage from the workers' protests in Madison, Wisconsin! Thanks again to our friends at The Uptake, Free Speech TV, and WORT FM in Madison for making this collaboration happen. The fight in Wisconsin has national implications, and national leaders have made the trip to Madison to express solidarity with the workers and join their struggle. Perhaps none more prominent than Rev. Jesse Jackson, who has been speaking to rallies, and led a march of students back to school today after several days off supporting their teachers.
