#wiunion #wirecall Now going live - interview with Madison, Wisconsin citizen-journalist Nicole.

Nicole recorded a conversation with a DMV clerk and the video went viral. Her son was asked to show “activity” on his bank statement when he was trying to get a a VOTER ID recently…indicating that not only did he have to provide documents, but he had to have enough finances to get a voter ID. - Alarming. 

Nicole recently went to New Orleans to speak at a press briefing on ALEC - the American Legislative Exchange Council. We’ll discuss long-term protesting in Wisconsin, citizen journalism, ALEC, suppression of the vote in WI, and Wisconsin’s historic set of recall elections today… .find our streaming audio at bluecheddar.net [where it will also be archived]
