Understand that teacher union are there to tell the taxpayer how much they must pay for the services of those who partake of the public trough. |
"Republican
Gov. Scott Walker has been in office for only 15 months, and his state
has been in turmoil virtually the entire time. His decision to eliminate most
collective-bargaining rights for public employee unions has touched off a
political war that has left Wisconsin
as polarized as any state in the country."

Post
In this quote, the Washington Post, once again,
misrepresents the facts of the situation for the sake of political
appointment. First, Walker did not eliminate "most collective bargaining rights" for union workers. Rather, he limited "collective bargaining" for the taxpayer funded public union members to the same model as is the case with Federal workers under B Obama. Wisconsin has "been in turmoil virtually the entire
time" only because the Democrat constituency and its legislative
leadership have refused the rule of law. It is that simple.
Everyone
knew what the 2010 gubernatorial election was all about. And
the voice of the people was heard, loud and clear. Walker, no stranger to Wisconsin politics, won election over the Democrat, Tom Barrett, by a 52% to 46% margin. Wisconsin benefited from the so-called conservative "wave election"of 2010 that swept the Democrats out of the House of Representatives and destroyed the absolute Democrat majority in the Senate . Russ Feingold (Senator from Wisconsin), perhaps the most popular of liberal (not radical) congressmen, was shockingly defeated by Ron Johnson (52% to 47%) as the GOP moved into "power" on a state and federal level.
The governorship
was won by the Republican, Scott Walker, and both houses of the state
congress "flipped" in the GOP's favor. Immediately, the
Democrats began plotting strategies to negate the people's will. Like the
evil children they raise, the Democrat state legislators fled the state,
preventing the continuation of state government; the teachers' unions went on strike, union thugs came to the state and threatened Scott Walker
and those who were duly elected representatives of the people. As it
turns out, Wisconsin had been a fascist state all along. Only
when the 2010 election could not be manipulated in favor of the
fascist incumbency, did anyone know just out out of step the
Democrat leadership and its unions were in light of Constitutional governance and fair play.
Immediately following the state elections, anarchist party members tried to take back the state congress with a series of
recall elections, within a year of the midterms, but failed to recall enough Republicans to regain their dictatorial rule. So, they
turned their attention to the newly elected governor.
The excuse for
all this lawlessness ? The GOP took down "collective bargaining"
for retirement benefits, in a desperate effort to get the
state's spending under control. Claims that Walker was/is a union hater (as I
am) went well beyond the truth of the matter, but who in the Democrat Party
cares about truth or the rule of law, these days? The fact of the
matter is this: the state's service unions (police, fire and teacher) continue to have collective
bargaining rights for wage negotiations. In addition, union members were asked to pay a
stipend on their benefit sharing plans. That's it. And if this
became some sort of egregious circumstance, the fascist Left could change
it all "back to normal" with the next election. This whole affair is the "end of the world" for those who participate in the elective process. Understand that "democracy" in the United States of America is about representative governance, not the rule of the simple majority.
Some folks in the GOP have moved away from making this a bell
weather election for fear that Walker would lose and the Establishment GOP would "look bad." So much for the Establishment. The TEA party patriots in the state are not so cowardly.
They have stood up for their governor. They see the balancing of
the budget and the saving of several school districts in the state. And
it is beginning to appear as if Scott Walker might successfully defend his
place in state government because of the success of his budgetary policies.
While Walker has shied away from making this election a
Democrat v Republican affair, it certainly is a Walker versus the Unions
struggle, which, in my mind, is precisely the same thing.
The implications of this election are undeniable. Indeed, this will be seen as a bell weather election
for each side. A win for either will be used as stimulus for the coming national elections.
So important is this election, that Chris Christie, Governor of New Jersey. made an appearance in the state, Tuesday night, in support of Governor
Walker.
Polls show Walker with a nominal lead and election funding
favors the GOP, to date. We will keep
this election at center stage. It is an
important millstone, should Walker succeed
against a Marxist Machine that is well funded and supported by a national
organization (the DNC).
You can help Walker and the conservative efforts to reclaim our country,
by taking no more than 5 minutes, clicking on the following link, and doing what you can do. we don't have to "demonstrate" to win, but we certainly have to take advantage of the opportunities we have, as we sit at our computers and share in the national experience -- before the Left takes that away from us, too.
