Massive efforts underway in WI to recall gov. Walker. These efforts are fueled by the vote against abolishing public unions in Ohio.

United Wisconsin says it has 7,000 volunteers and more than 206,000 supporters who have signed its “pledge” to recall Walker.

Great news. These anti-American Republican corporatists should all be sent packing. They serve corporations, not people.

My goodness, they looking for another beat down?

They've LOST every single one so far - all referendums on Walker.

See, the people in WI are now seeing the FRUITS of Walker's reforms, namely more money in the coffers because he did away with the corruption of the unions. Less tax hikes. Now the former (?) union members are paying more for THEIR OWN pensions and HC, but they still aren't paying a fair share.

And the teachers, when given a CHOICE about dues, choose NOT to pay anymore.

Good luck to them getting the 540,000 signatures.

Why would they want to do that now ?
It turned out OK for the teachers and schools.
They have a surplus and the teachers got cheaper health insurance.

“We had 160,000 signatures in one month,” Brown said. “It was insane.”

Sounds like an outstanding pile of union, Dem work to me. I guess they don't know that they may lose some of their signatures according to a number of threads here on C-D.

What happens if this bunch loses the election? Have you thought that far into the future?
