Scott Walker's Priorities: Rolls Out Presidential 527, Big Budget Cuts to UW
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is making his priorities clear, rolling out a Presidential vehicle for himself on the same day his budget proposal slashes $300 million from the University of Wisconsin system. Walker's 527, Our American Revival, will offer donors the ability to give unlimited amounts of money with only annual disclosure requirements. Walker himself will face restrictions on his involvement with the committee once he formally files for office, not that coordination rules have stopped him before. American Bridge 21st Century President Brad Woodhouse issued the following statement in reaction to Walker:
"What a week for Scott Walker, from pandering to Steve King in Iowa to kissing the Koch brothers' ring in California to proposing a $300 million budget cut to Wisconsin's public universities while rolling out a new vehicle for his Presidential ambitions. Being President is about priorities, and Scott Walker's willingness to hurt the middle class so that his ambition and his financial backers can benefit couldn't be more clear."
VIDEO: Jeb Bush, Greetings From Iowa
Jeb Bush didn't make an appearance at last weekend's Iowa Freedom Summit, but that didn't stop attendees from feeling his presence. The speakers who did make the trek to Des Moines for Steve King's presidential testing field were sure to invoke Jeb plenty. But unfortunately for Mr. Bush, most of those references were either thinly veiled or direct shots at the former governor -- and those shots were invariably met with rousing applause from the summit-goers. Jeb Bush may be a temporary media darling when it comes to the Republican presidential primary, but he's hardly experiencing the same embrace from the party's base. Check out our video:

American Bridge President Brad Woodhouse On The Kochs' 2016 plans
"The Kochs are planning to spend an outrageous amount of money on the 2016 election, more than the RNC did in 2012, and nearly $1 billion in total, because they'll stop at nothing to purchase a government that grows their profits, weakens pollution standards, and maintains tax breaks for big oil- all at the expense of investing in middle class families and an economy that works for everyone."
