wisconsin. after the wisconsin recall some leaders were frustrated with a lack of support from national democrats that challenge scott walker. is that all forgiven? >> i was in wisconsin for election night. i had not been there for awhile -- i had been there for a while working with coalition partners. we do not the wisconsin has a loss. it was a disappointment. it was a setback. i got an e-mail from our members from wisconsin the night of the election. the e-mail said -- i feel like i have been hit in my gut. mighty careless. my mouth is bleeding. i'm going to go back to bed tonight and i'm going to wake up and i will be fired up and i am going to be working very, very hard to support the work of the middle class. that is how our members feel. they will continue to be engaged. we were born in wisconsin, our union. we were there yesterday. we're there today. we will be there tomorrow fighting the good fight. i am optimistic we will win in the end. our partners have made a strong statement. we we

wisconsin. >> you mentioned the money on the other side coming from business and supporting republicans and things like that. some other unions have created day superpac. are you going to do that? is that under discussion? >> we use voluntary dollars that are raised by members. independent expenditure programs. we want to be able to talk with our members and we do that every single day. we will do it to communicate and educate them on the importance of this election and the differences that exist between both candidates. we will be playing at the state level, also. legislative elections are born to our people. gubernatorial elections are important. we want to have the ability to knock on non-members doors. >> one of the main criticisms by your opponent in your union election was -- he says your political spending focused on federal races rather than state and local. what do you think of that? are you going to spend more on state and local races? >> we have to look at the facts. 65% of our budget

about 6.8% right now in wisconsin. look at wisconsin, ohio, pennsylvania, michigan.ublican governor s in those states. >> manufacturing jobs because of barack obama. >> i look at the policies. we enacted ones to help manufacturers in the state of wisconsin. rick snyder's done the same in michigan. and pennsylvania and ohio. each of those states had shifts in the last two years and brought the change and why the change of the national level would make a similar difference for the country. >> i this changes of the automobile industry which is now going gang busters. sales up dramatically. much better financial condition and president obama had the courage to do that despite the fact that the tea party and right wingers hated it. >> governor, the other governor on the set in the last commercial break talking about campaign finance reform. romney in the hamptons raising 3w million bucks and i was arguing with him that unions actually should not be allowed to participate in campaigns an make donations but i want them to be out of it to take everybody else out of it. >> i'

take, for example, wisconsin. wisconsin...overnor o'malley is right, we looked at this and the opportunity then we looked at the facts and the facts showed by the same firm my predecessor employed the facts showed us in wisconsin, the majority of people in our state after obamacare is fully implement willed pay higher costs for less benefits than they got before. that's not a practical reaty for the people of wisconsin. that's not a benefit more them. that's certainly not good for the economy. and i think for people here in wisconsin and plenty of other states across the country we want to put the power back in the hands of people at the state and the local level and not be driven by a federal mandate. >> o'donnell: let me challenge you on that, governor walker. mitt romney put in place an individual mandate in massachusetts. as part of that, he also imposed a tax penalty to encourage people to buy insurance to comply with the law. does that raise questions about mitt romney's credibility on this issue? >> no! i think what she

back to wisconsin avenue. that will be your workaround. at this hour, light traffic volume so no big backup to speak of at this time. this is an easy workaround for you. the rope that this portion is being blocked off is because we have a very large utility pole that is now leaning over a building. we are very concerned about the safety of the building. if it is leaning, how stable can it be? they have blocked off this portion of wisconsin avenue until some help can areeve on the scene, straighten this pole up and make repairs as needed. outer loop as you travel through oxon hill this morning, accident activity ties up the two right lanes. that's a check of your fox 5 on-timetraffic. -timetraffic. >>> to the latest now on the power outages in our area. pepco is now reporting more than 118,000 customers still in the dark. dominion virginia has more than 79,000 offline in northern virginia. and bge says montgomery, prince george's, anne arundel and howard counties have about 61,000 customers without service. now

i am proud to be a wisconsin guy, but the bottom line is not about wisconsin.bout historical change. how you begin fighting small and expand when the time is right, and you make an impact because the other things are failing. that is what has happened in many, many cases. revolutions are as common as brass and world history. they begin in rooms like this. [applause] so i say that really as a historian, not try to blow smoke in your ear. that is how it works. that is how it works. when i say i take you all seriously, first, i'm talking to the person in your personal seat. so when i say i take you seriously, you, maybe more seriously than you take yourself, i mean to say the beginnings of the next great historic change come from a bus taking ourselves that seriously -- from us taking ourselves that seriously. i urge you to say, "am i up to tha?" the "that" is transforming the most hapless system in the world. that is what it is about. [applause] and to say i take you seriously is to say that is what you're stepping up to, not simply a gesture, not simply a new pa

that include those which now ohio, indiana, illinois, wisconsin, what am i forgetting? michigan and part of minnesota for all of which were claimed by virginia at that point. it's why, for instance, kentucky claims the ohio river and its own property that the borders on the north bank because what was ceded by virginia was the land northwest of the river. so congress organized this in 1787 as initially as a territory of the northwest territory, and there were rules made for the development of society in that vast area. some of them followed, some of them not. but it was initially federal territory. and they provided for the eventual, eventual creation of space in a territory. and illinois was ultimately one of them. >> so in 1812, when the war began, let's see, ohio was a state. in the and was a territory. illinois, as you described it was not only a territory but went straight up through wisconsin and part of what we call the upper peninsula of michigan, and even a little tiny corner of minnesota. so illinois was big territory. now, why don't you -- tell us, who was he

in wisconsin, we used paraprofessionals that we trained very intensively to work with people, and that was very effective. they took the time. they were very skilled in motivational approaches, and the thing that was also difficult is that there's a lot of stigma around both mental health issues and substance abuse. this affects not only the individual, but it also affects everybody else who grew up in our society, including providers. in wisconsin, some providers were very reluctant to bring up the subject of somebody's alcohol use with them. they felt it was intrusive, and i think this idea of stigma is really critical for us to address. as long as that is in play as strongly as it is right now, it's going to be a major obstacle for us in getting people to agree to treatment, in getting physicians or other health professionals to discuss behavioral health with their patients, and it's something that we really have to take a look at. well, i tend to be an optimist, so i'm going to say that once people watch the show and learn that there are other resources out there that they can lear
