This Week on Democracy Matters - Gov Scott Walker of WI faces a recall, and the Koch Brother who back him face their own troubles.
Posted by Mari Margil on October 24th, 2011This week on Democracy Matters - the fight in Wisconsin continues this fall as Governor Scott Walker faces a recall effort after he spent the spring stripping collective bargaining powers from workers. The Koch Brothers - big backers of Walker's - have made billions in manufacturing and other industries around the globe. Are they doing business in Iran? And Part II of our interview with Rod Fletcher of Peters Township, PA, where he's part of a campaign to ban natural gas drilling in his community. Why did his own municipal government - not even the corporations - try to stop them?
Each week on Democracy Matters we bring you stories from the frontlines as communities bring rights-based organizing to their communities - asserting their local self-governing authority to make the critical decisions that affect their lives and their community.
