About new WI GOP rules for food stamp recipients
Let's have legislators be drug-tested before they can receive their $44-$88 tax-free daily meal, lodging and housing payments and make sure they are only buying healthy meals with public, entitlement psyments.
I was with Craig Spaulding when he shot this video:

Kleefisch really was drunk as a skunk and many people noticed. We called aside Chief Tubbs and asked him if it was legal for legislatures to be drunk on the Assembly Floor. Tubbs indicated that this was probably not legal and he would check it out and talk to him.
Of course, we don't know if Tubbs actually talked to anyone and never heard about this again. A few weeks later, I was sitting in an Assembly hearing (not the Assembly Gallery) and every time Kleefisch looked my way, I would make that hand signal for gulping alcohol out of a bottle (fist with thumb and pinky extended, shaking in front of mouth).
Kleefisch got very upset about this and had Tubbs come and directly talk to me. Tubbs' asked me "Why are you doing this?"
Tubbs knew why I was doing this and Tubbs also know that Kleefisch was known to be drunk on the Assembly Floor but it was me that got the business over it. I don't know if Kleefisch was drunk that day, but it was a morning hearing.
There is good reason to check the sobriety of legislatures -- watch the video to see a powerfully compelling one.
Right! If they are going to drug test eligible people for getting food share and assistance, then anyone who gets taxpayer money has to be periodically drug tested also. Fair is fair!
jsonline is catapulting the walker/jesus crap again. They multiple times each week now, just shameless propaganda:
'Jesus Calling' gets book bump as Walker touts it on campaign trail

This is not legitimate news and there are so many truthful things they could report. It is dishonest to tie Walker's koch brothers directed autserity to the New Testament and the life and work of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
There must be a special place in hell for those that lie about The Son of God and Christianity's Savior for divide-and-conquer politics. If there is a God, Scott Walker & Paul Ryan are going to spend eternity with the damned.
I am not sure making our elected officials pee in a cup is such a good idea. It looks like the current majority would probably enjoy it too much and never get around to the actual urination part.
Great idea! How about breathalyzer tests post lunch and at random during any late sessions?,,,there has to be an explanation.

Craig, I watched the video. You really cannot tell what is happening from what was shot.
ReplyDeleteI'm not denying your claim. I'm just saying youu cannot tell from this video.
I agree, drug test them all. They are not above the people they are representing. What a waste of time and money.
