I think a lot of us are keeping an eye on all of these new politicians and any of them, including Walker who is in the spotlight at the moment, who have what it takes to stand up to the Thugs and Money Grubbers and really make the necessary hard cuts have the people's support and will be remembered and rewarded with votes in the future. This is exactly the kind of leadership our country needs. Go Walker!

He destroys only one thing : the Democratic Party's cashflow from taxpayers

Wisconsin has the strongest worker civil rights law in the country.
THEY ARE PROTECTED.

People this is all about the union, they could lose their money for each worker if the worker chooses. The unions would still have to defend them.

Since unions made it mandatory they have to be in it.

Their wages are not involved in this.

They recieve the best deals with pension and health care in the country.

Collective bargaining IS NOT A RIGHT!! It ends up being BLACKMAIL!!

They recieve $57.00 from the State for EVERY $1.00 they put in their pension!

WE GIVE ENOUGH and THIS SHOULD NOT BE BARGAINED IN THE FUTURE!!!

He just has to hold out a little longer. When the parents have to keep their kids in daycare or with a babysitter, coupled with not getting an education, they're going to become very angry indeed and look at teachers as selfish. Parents don't have the time or money in a bad economy for such expenses. Angry votes = good times!

3* Should teachers, firemen and policemen be allowed to go on strike?

4* In the dispute between the governor and the union workers, do you agree more with the governor or the union for teachers and other state employees?

5* Would you favor or oppose reducing your state government payroll 1% a year for 10 years, either by reducing the number of state employees or by cutting the pay of state workers?

I didn't see the question whether they are for ending collective bargaining.

This group has "walked away from Walker" also!

The Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce (GMCC) is supporting Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s plan to cut the wages and benefits of public employees, but the business organization stands against his "adversarial" revoking of the worker's rights to collectiively bargain.
