Demonstrators gather at Governor Walker's Menominee County listening session : Ben Krumholtz of Fox 11 News reports : Demonstrators gathered at the College of Menominee Nation in Menominee County Friday morning to make their voices heard during a visit from Governor Scott Walker. Walker's stop was part of his State of the State pledge to hold listening sessions in all 72 of Wisconsin's counties. The borders of Menominee County are also the borders of the Menominee Indian Reservation. Tribal members are upset with the governor for denying the tribe's casino proposal last year and for what they call his lack of involvement in a mine proposal near the Menominee River. “It burns a little bit,” said Gui Reiter of Keshena. “It stings a little bit for him to be here.”

Nancy Pelosi Has A Plan For Taking On The GOP Majority. It Worked Before: Jennifer Bendery of the Huffington Post reports: Democrats just got their asses handed to them.

It looks a lot like 2006. “When people told us it was time for a Republican majority … around now, in 2004 as we got ready for 2005, we had our plan,” she told The Huffington Post in a Monday interview. “We stuck together. We were unified, strategic, and really it was a beautiful sight to behold. And we won.”
