Nope. She's just one.

Pictures of these lines? Seems like they would be all over the place if it were true.

I say let Wisconsin undo all that has been done so far in trying to balance the budget in Wisconsin....they will deserve what they get as a consequence. If I lived there, I would not want to be paying for their health insurance or pension plans. Greedy folk....

What is there, 1 person taking petitions? You'd think with all of those pretend lines you are claiming there would be more than a lousy 50-60K signatures...

Apparently you are unaware that the unions already were agreeable to benefit cuts and that the State deficit is modest.

What you are is a knee jerk right winger who screams for any amount of sacrifice imaginable on the part of poor and working class Americans every time a right wing talking head yanks your chain.

I'm well aware that unions didn't agree to anything until they realized they would lose everything.

No, I am a registered Democrat of almost 70 years old, still working full time and paying taxes......

eta: I also wanted to add that my first husband was a union electrician, a very good one, who went to night school for 5 years to get his jouneymans license. He often had to travel out of state to stay employed year around. on union jobs. I don't hate unions, just free loaders.

Well you should join the Florida GOP. You fit in there.

The teachers union in Wisconsin already underwent benefits cut in the last contract. They were willing to incur more cuts. You refer to them as greedy.

Nothing will satisfy you..

Obama won by 7.26, Walker won by 5.77. Walker's #'s are lower than Obama's.
