Most of the people in this state would prefer that our state employees not be unionized. This amounts to organized crime running our states employees. Unions need to be outlawed for public workers...period. Again the will of the people is about to be hijacked by the unions, and their Democrat minions who cowtow to them and wait for the money, errr the bribes to come down. This countries economy is going to hell. Why? One word, unions. They are making us uncompetitive in this worlds economy. This country needs to be a "right to work" country before we can start our way back to prosperity.Brian Inoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-42254646136964680242011-11-04T10:39:19.282-05:002011-11-04T10:39:19.282-05:00Dawn; Thanks for your additions.

SW cares NOTHING about the people, state, or environment. Health care cuts, school cuts, stopping of all ways to cut clean air resources (including cutting jobs where clean air business moved out of state), trying to stop recycling, the lies about jobs being generated (in session now for jobs yet NOTHING is being done about jobs - only ridiculous crap). The tax cuts he promised during his campaign were only for the wealthy and big corps. not people. The unethical, ruthless, brainless, thoughtless tactics hes used since in office.

No matter where you live, no matter what your background, no matter who you voted for, we all live in Wisconsin together, and we're going to move this state forward together." <br /><br /> This is the biggest lie of them all. Walker has never governed with the well-being of Wisconsinites in mind, but instead only cares for helping the out-of-state corporate interests that pays his bills. <br /><br /> And it's the biggest reason this will be his LAST birthday as Wisconsin's governor.Jake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-54740330365868799372011-11-02T15:01:51.398-05:002011-11-02T15:01:51.398-05:00To Anon @ 10:54 AM

Yes if you are registered and have ID to prove it is indeed you casting the vote and which the majority of WI residents support. 2.)Collective bargaining by public employess taken away, supported by 52% of all voters and affecting only 40K union members. Yes,majority rules. 3.)Killed "job creation" in Green Industries? Name one and Solydra and Beacon Power don't count. 4)Increased taxes on the "poor"? Oh really, only taxes I have seen increase are my property taxes to cover Dole's and Madcity bills. 5) Concealed carry endangers public safety?

First, he chose to govern solely on behalf of the slim majority who voted for him -- the rest be damned.<br /><br />Second, he has badly divided the populace, pitting private sector against public, union against union, rich against poor -- and has done so deliberately.<br /><br />Third, he took away union bargaining rights not with regret and compassion due to an untenable fiscal situation, but with utter malice and, as the fake David Koch interview shows beyond question, with absolute glee.<br /><br />Fourth, he has made public employees into scapegoats for the state's fiscal situation, allowing them to be called thugs, scumbags, pigs at the trough leeches, and worse -- never perhaps uttering these words himself, but never<br />raising a single word of protest when such words were used by others. His utter contempt for public servants could not be more obvious.<br /><br />Finally, he and his cronies have taken it upon themselves to turn back many decades of Wisconsin heritage and culture. The Wisconsin Idea, they arrogantly decided, was wrong for all these years. Wisconsin simply must<br />become a sort of low-tax utopia where the wealthy can work their will with our people and our natural resources.<br /><br />Start early, work hard.
