Lily in the “Ring of Fire” @ Netroots
Netroots Nation 2012 is here! Check out this quick pic from Providence as Lily talked with from Ring of Fire Radio about the implications of the Wisconsin vote, public education and how corporate interests with “an avalanche of money” are trying to destroy the middle class and the institutions that represent them.
Lily pointed out that despite how some progressives are painting the Wisconsin vote as a great loss, they are overlooking the fact that on a legislative level, there is now a Democratic majority in the Senate, and Governor Scott Walker “no longer has a blank check”.
“We now have a goalie, and even though goalies don’t make points, they can stop the other side from pushing a destructive agenda, the governor actually has less power than before the recall”, she said.
