Upon arrival, members of the recall committee were encircled by union protesters carrying signs and a leader with a mega phone who began chanting and ranting loudly. They packed in tightly around the petition collection table so as to prevent those attempting to sign from doing so. At one point, a pro union protester, pretending to be interested in signing the petition, wrote profanity across a partially collected petition form, than began ripping up the completed petitions that were in close proximity.
Is this really what the people of WI support? Interfering physically in a Democratic process? If so,I'm very ashamed to call them my fellow Americans.
Then there is the non cooperation with police......
Quote:
The policemen who were there, and who were standing in close proximity to these events as they unfolded, did nothing to assist those collecting the petitions as they were being destroyed, despite such an action being a Felony under Wisconsin law. Police also did nothing to clear the walk way for citizens that wanted to sign the petitions. Recall Committee members received many phone calls the following day from Merill area citizens who stated that they showed up to sign the petition, but were too afraid to get out of their vehicles and approach the recall table.
Video it, more than likely they are attached to those getting petitions to make themselves look sympathetic.
They'll get enough signatures easily because of all the taxpayer money unions have to throw at this issue.
Just be glad they are wasting their money here and will have less of it for 2012.
Thing that most upsets me is when public employees campaign during their job hours and when they even wear their uniforms.
Seems real illegal to me and we saw a lot of it in California here when Arnold went after the government employees the first year. They spent over a hundred and fifty million in taxpayer money against the proposition and had many in various uniforms campaigning door to door.
And yet we were told that a bunch of gray hairs shouting at their local representative was a danger to the nation. In only a matter of weeks, (weeks!) the media and its clients on the Left have gone from wringing their hands in concern over "civility" and the need for a "new tone" to basically looking the other way when certain groups and ideologues engage in rancorous and even violent behavior.

These thugs are going to eventually run up the backs of the wrong people and they are going to get a taste of their own medicine and then some.
