Copies of two subpoenas we've seen demand "all memoranda, email . . . correspondence, and communications" both internally and between the subpoena target and some 29 conservative groups, including Wisconsin and national nonprofits, political vendors and party committees. Eric O'Keefe (I could call him "Mr. O'Keefe," but that would be odd, since he's been a trusted friend and colleague for decades) heads Wisconsin Club for Growth, one of the targeted groups. He's risking a lot by defying the gag order. <http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/EricOKeefe.jpg> But he believes the public has a right to know. And, considering that gag orders of this type, especially as applied to what looks like a crazed, partisan political witch hunt, are as un-American as you can get. In case you were not aware, Eric authored an important book <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001kEUPEUGOdevQR0x9meUKktawWksDcOmheqqr6y2vl_FO mVTzt3MBAeYci4P9qdKBb5GZrgzTguzC8zq8Habm9t5_aouPY1fDhkqUaUhmeCvJVTCHi5E_7At- yo9K5uEFbzcxM_oO92KDVZexUeXnropdT_rw36L2i7GpB6cinyuNdtIQ1_pGZQ==> Who Rules America: The People versus the Political Class, after having served as the master strategist behind the nation's most successful co-ordinated multi-state initiative campaign, for congressional term limits, in the early 1990s.
