From the Editors, National Review:
The Left long ago stopped pretending that court proceedings were anything other than exercises in raw-power politics, and so they’ve taken their fight against Wisconsin governor Scott Walker to the state supreme court — not in the form of a lawsuit, but in the form of a multimillion-dollar intervention into an election to a ten-year term on the court.
Wisconsin supreme court justice David Prosser went to bed one night a respected former prosecutor, and woke up the next morning the target of a $3 million union-run smear campaign, falsely accused of being an enabler of pedophiles. That is what you get when you oppose the political machine that has been fleecing taxpayers in Wisconsin and elsewhere for a generation. Or, as in the case of Justice Prosser, when they suspect you might merely stand in their way and do your job.
...It is important that conservatives nationwide make this campaign their own. What is at stake in Wisconsin is not just one piece of legislation or one bill restoring a measure of sanity to the state budgeting process. The question to be answered in Wisconsin is: Who works for whom? Do the public employees work for the citizens, or are the citizens mere cattle to be disposed of at the pleasure of the bureaucrats and their union bosses? Every arrow in the quiver — court cases, judicial elections, recall, lawsuits, lies, libels, and brute thuggery — will be thrown at this case, along with lots of money derived from the union dues that state and local governments helpfully deduct from their employees’ paychecks on the unions’ behalf. Wisconsin may seem an unlikely battleground, but a line must be drawn, and this is the place to draw it.
Read the entire editorial.
The choice is clear, my fellow Wisconsinites.
Vote for Justice David Prosser on April 5th.

Please, whatever you do in the next four or five days, please spend some time using these phone banking systems, right here from the comfort of your own home in *insert whatever state you live in*. Or consider donating to those that are organizing the GOTV efforts for Judge Prosser. The unions have accused Prosser of the nastiest sort of things, maligning a good man's character, in an attempt to bring him down so that they can continue to plunder the rest of WI, and the rest of America.
We must stick together at a time like this. Please consider volunteering for this incredibly important duty.
Following is the link where people can register to help with the Prosser phone bank. They will need to choose from one of the following codes from the "Campaign Code" drop down menu: Prosser area code 262, Prosser area code 414, Prosser area code 920, Prosser area code 608, and Prosser area code 715. Once registered, they will receive an email confirmation to gain access into the phone bank system. A script is provided on the site. It is very easy to use.

"It is important that conservatives nationwide make this campaign their own."
The following two links are organizations taking donations to help Justice Prosser with radio and TV ads and printed materials. Due to current laws, each candidate gets $300,000 from the State for their campaign, and cannot take any private donations. This works to the advantage of candidates who receive outside, indirect assistance from advocacy groups. It is "campaign finance reform" run amok.
