cab companies in madison tell walker to get bent

[rdking647]

the 2 major madison are cab companies union cab and badger cab have announced free cab rides to and from the polls on election day,april 5th... Somehow I doubt anyone they drive to the polls will be walker supporters.. Just another way to say fuck you to walker and his henchmen

[Curmudgeoness]

[madokie]

5. Yeah they do make one feel proud don't they

This Okie is proud that I'm on the same side that they are
something tells me that Wisconsin will be the beginning of the end of the putred period. Oh it'll take some time to get rid of them but the ball is rolling now and picking up speed.

27. I think so too, madokie; we're on the road to sanity. (fingers crossed)

[madokie]

Have a great day.

The higher the turnout, the worse the odds for the repressives. They will surely take countermeasures, but what? Send out suicide drivers to ram every cab they see? As we've seen, the Nitwit Brigade likes its fights to be totally unfair, and to make damn sure they have no skin in the game when they're fleecing others. So that's probably not very likely. Too much chance of getting hurt oneself. How about poll watchers, demanding to see proof of how a voter arrived to cast a ballot, and threatening fines or jail time for anyone whose trip was "subsidized" by getting a lift from a friend, neighbor or cab? Of course there's no law against that, but Gov. Walker and his ilk are a lot bigger on threats than they are on the law, and scaring people is their weapon of choice.

23. They'll probably flood the cab companies with fake requests.

That way either 1) the people who actually need rides will not be able to get through on the telephone, or 2) the cabs will be overwhelmed by taking the Walker operatives to the polls so won't be available to those who actually need rides.

I hope that I'm wrong.

20. People Power....Nice!

Wisconsin has become the model for Democratic and Progressive organizing. The Repukes have waaaayyy overreached and are going to start eating crow very soon....

21. I'll buy the pizza, now that I've paid my cc bill.

My home life is still a bit rocky after GF (who is also my manager) discovered that I bought all those pizzas from Ian's.

Pizza for the cab workers after their shifts.

[Sonoman]

28. Start it up!

You have a lot of credibility on DU.

Way more than do I.

Get in touch with the activists here and crank it up.

I bought 43 pizzas for the other thing.

30. Well liberals are too (a. lazy b. drunk c. stupid) to drive themselves

or something like that.

[malaise]

33. I hope they ask for union cards

or ReTHUGS, Freepers and baggers may get free rides.

[sarcasmo]

34. I did this when I drove Taxi, paid out of my pocket and took many inner city elderly to the polls.
