| Description | Today started out quite strange. I woke up like normal and found that there was a GAB (or Government Accountability Board) meeting to decide who goes on the Presidential ballot and who doesn’t for the primary. Wait? A meeting to decide who can and cannot run for President, that doesn’t sound very Democratic to me. But sure enough there was such a meeting at noon in the Governor’s Conference Room. As I glided in on my Segway, one of the Governor’s waterboys (he brings him water during meetings), greeted me by name which was rather peculiar. Even more peculiar was the friendly tone. Before the meetings started an Officer told me that I had to go to the basement to talk with them after the meeting (I am being investigated for allegedly breaking into the Governors private office, but more on that later). The meeting got off to a quick start with GAB Director, Kevin Kennedy noting that this was the first time one of these meetings was actually on time.
They appointed a chair to run the meeting who was not a legislator or party staff. There were people there from the Democratic National Committee, Republican National Committee, Democratic Party of Wisconsin, Republican Party of Wisconsin, and a few Senators and Representatives. I had never been to one of these meetings and didn’t even know it existed, likely putting me in the same boat as most Americans. But what happened in this meeting both astounded and sickened me. It was pure shredding of Democracy plain and simple. This meeting was to decide who can and cannot run for President in Wisconsin. The qualifications are treasonous. If you have been recognized by national media you are basically a shoe in, if you have not, you cannot run. That was the gist of the entire thing. They pulled up lists of everyone who is registered to run with the Federal Elections Commission. The Republicans allowed only the names of those in the Iowa Caucus to go through. |
