In Wisconsin, an Elon Musk-backed super PAC is offering registered voters $100 in exchange for their contact information and signatures on a petition condemning “activist judges.” Signers can receive another $100 for additional voters they refer to the petition.
HW, please see Richard Urban’s comment below. I keep calling my senators and pleading with them about how they vote. I mostly have to leave voice mail messages, but that makes it easier. I’m 69, an old Marine, but gotta do something. Those assholes want to erase my and other womens’ service from national records! They’re messing with my VA and SS benefits. I’m filling out petitions daily as well. And yelling TO (not AT) anyone who will listen on SubStack. It takes a village!!
The white house doesn't care. The senators have been neutered. Petitions and voicemails go unanswered. Politicians have stopped coming to town halls. We can take to the streets, but eventually have to return to work to feed our families. We can march on Washington like Coxey's Army did way back when and meet the same fate. We can refuse to pay taxes and hasten the nation's destruction.
We must rely on the courts and the midterm vote. Or else hope Trump falls prey to his obvious dementia and has to resign.
Even if Trump were to resign or be removed due to dementia, J.D. Vance would continue his policies, aided and abetted by Musk, the MAGA-infested senators, Stephen Miller, the author of Project 2025, etc. Trump is a cancer that has metastasized.
You are correct that we must focus on 2026 elections, but we also need to focus on the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, every special election (2 seats in Florida), and the upcoming state elections in Virginia this year.
Call your senators and congressperson every day and tell them you want Musk gone. Call the White House, call your friends and neighbors, join a protest, put up signs.Do whatever you possibly can to shine a light on Musk’s evildoing. Small actions are important.
I see Musk playing the same game he did in 7 swing states during the presidential election. I hope Crawford, if she loses, asks for recounts to verify paper ballots match the machine counts.
muskrat can try $100 to buy a vote but that doesn't put food on the table or a salary in their pockets I do believe people, r's too, are realizing how close they are to loosing it all...survival is an instinct without party affiliation... money is green not blue or red
They had a break with dems in "charge " for 4 years so easy sailing & but all they heard for 4 years was how the dems were ruining their lives... and now it's sliding into an abyss faster then any of us could imagine... so fast they feel the real hurt now... bad play on the Heritage Foundation for moving in quickly... they dismissed/ignored or didn't even think about the pain their voters would feel before these special elections
What is the time, the event, the egregious misuse of public trust, where it is too late? We are losing our country and we will miss it desperately. Our grandchildren will rat each other out for favor, they will lie and cheat because that is what they were taught to do and they will not learn to read and write well because they have been put in front of computer games all day long for their entire childhood.
Also, if I may, America's white population will think they have won (won what?) and put all nonwhites way back into only subservient roles, hmm, like Apartheid South Africa. Statues of Musk will adorn all state capitols, Donald Trump Jr will be ambassador to any country with a lot of cocaine and birth control in any form will be illegal. Ad nauseam.
WTF? So offering incentives to buy votes "might be illegal..." but the sweetstakes were allowed to continue. Why is this allowed, AGAIN? We're eroding the fabric of American Ideals, the values that made America the biggest and best idea humanity ever had. New generations have no idea how many died at war to fight Hitler and protect our democratic values. Then, a racist South Afrikan apartheid billionaire walks in and destroys it all. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Don't fall for it, Wisconsonites!! Don't give him your contact information; he will use it to rig the election just like with his fake 'lottery' in the federal election. He has access to the voting machines (you don't think he'd stop using that, do you?) and before you know it, you will have all voted for the GOP candidate whether you want to or not. If you can, take a photo of your ballot and later compare it to the official results and contest it if it is wrong.
I stood on an interstate overpass with a "NO KING" sign yesterday and perhaps 1/4 of those who honked gave us the finger. Does that mean 1/4 support having a king? And I live in liberal Massachusetts!
Probably. The cognitive dissonance is real. Fortunately, 25% is lower than the 32% of voters that I’ve seen are his “I can shoot somebody on 5th Ave” base.
Step one of a war against population: make sure that even if people protest the power still supports them. The European Peasants’ Wars in the 14th to 16th centuries cost hundreds of thousands of lives and resulted in extreme poverty. Life expectancy fell to 25 years during the first years of industrialization, why? Because they fought for their power and won, so they used it. Same pattern nowadays with all the oligarchs installing themselves.
Musk has put the maximum amount of behind all candidates in these races. He believes he and his ilk are superior and should r use this country. This is a man of low character and morals damaged by a cruel father, privileged upbringing and apartheid. He judges his virility by fathering multiple children , 3 in one month, with no capacity to be a father to any of them, He is a narcissistic megalomaniac who does not deserve anyone’s trust. Another step toward oligarch control led by a ketamine bathed brain, Supporter of Germany’s AfD nazi group, roots in apartheid-era South Africa, part of the “PayPal mafia, “ They include Peter Thiel, the German-born billionaire venture capitalist and PayPal cofounder, who was educated in a southern African city in the 1970s where Hitler was still openly venerated. Thiel, a major donor to Trump’s campaign, has been critical of welfare programs and women being permitted to vote as undermining capitalism. A 2021 biography of Thiel, called The Contrarian, alleged that as a student at Stanford he defended apartheid as “economically sound”. David Sacks, formerly PayPal’s chief operating officer and now a leading fundraiser for Trump, was born in Cape Town and grew up within the South African diaspora after his family moved to the US when he was young. A fourth member of the mafia, Roelof Botha, the grandson of the apartheid regime’s last foreign minister, Pik Botha, and former PayPal CFO, has kept a lower political profile but remains close to Musk.” “ The week before the inauguration, Steve Bannon, Trump’s former adviser, described white South Africans as the “most racist people on earth”, questioned their involvement in US politics and said Musk was a malign influence who should go back to the country of his birth.” “ Musk’s early life with a neo-Nazi grandfather who moved from Canada to South Africa because he liked the idea of apartheid through his high school education in a system infused with the ideology of white supremacy.” “ We stand for Christian nationalism which is an ally of National Socialism,” he said in 1942. “You can call this anti-democratic principle dictatorship if you wish. In Italy it is called ‘Fascism’, in Germany ‘German National Socialism’ and in South Africa ‘Christian nationalism’.” https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/26/elon-musk-peter-thiel-apartheid-south-africa We are in a civil war for this country
This is election fraud. Compiling lists of voters, with detailed information, including signatures, can be used to facilitate voter fraud. E-poll books are easily hacked.
Are there any ads from those being outspent by the billionaire Musk that tell this story of what he's doing to influence simply with his huge amounts of money? I think such ads could be effective.
Why not get a group of Crawford voters to give fake contact info and signature on petition and hoover up some musk bucks and recruit more Crawford voters to do the same?
Enough of the “may violate” law—it does and the state AG should take action. I’m not a lawyer and live in WA state so maybe I’m missing something. Paying people to sign a petition?
Typical of third world tactics. This could have come straight from the book of Maduro
We have to stop them!! It has already gone way too far!! We have to save our country NOW!!
How?

Indeed, how? No one seemingly knows what to do.
I see Musk playing the same game he did in 7 swing states during the presidential election. I hope Crawford, if she loses, asks for recounts to verify paper ballots match the machine counts.
Take a photo of your ballot before you cast it or mail it, please!
My state doesn't allow recording devices at in-person voting sites.
Exactly the same scam he used to rig the "vote counting computers" he knows so much about. Demand hand counts!
We should demand that she does.

I really hope you're right! Are people long-sighted enough to figure this out? They did vote for Trump twice...
They had a break with dems in "charge " for 4 years so easy sailing & but all they heard for 4 years was how the dems were ruining their lives... and now it's sliding into an abyss faster then any of us could imagine... so fast they feel the real hurt now... bad play on the Heritage Foundation for moving in quickly... they dismissed/ignored or didn't even think about the pain their voters would feel before these special elections

I'm in Massachusetts, and 1/4 of the population liking Trump sounds about right.

Next the Muskrats will be offering a sack of potatoes for each vote. Scumbags

There was some talk that the “contact info and signatures’ they collected may have later been used to fake votes in the presidential election…
Why not get a group of Crawford voters to give fake contact info and signature on petition and hoover up some musk bucks and recruit more Crawford voters to do the same?
Enough of the “may violate” law—it does and the state AG should take action. I’m not a lawyer and live in WA state so maybe I’m missing something. Paying people to sign a petition?
