As Wisconsin Implodes, White House Plans Meeting With AFL-CIO War Council
red state ^ | 2/17/11 | LaborUnionReport

"Organizing for America is mobilizing on the ground in Wisconsin..."

Today is the third straight day of protests in Madison, Wisconsin as Barack Obama’s shock troops storm the state capitol to fight Governor Walker’s plan to reform the public-sector scam that has ravaged that state for decades.

As Democrats fled the statehouse (to an apparently non-union hotel in Illinois) to avoid doing the duties they were elected for and capitol staffers were told to lock their doors, the impression that the rest of America may have is that this is a “spontaneous” uprising (sort of like Tunisia and Egypt were supposed to be spontaneous). However, if that’s what you’re thinking, you couldn’t be more mistaken.

Despite his feigning ignorance on the situation in Wisconsin, the President’s background is as a “community organizer,” working with groups like ACORN and the SEIU. As a community organizer, their modus operandi is to make it seem as though marches and protests are “popular uprisings” [yeah, Mubarek got pwned].

Because of this background, this should come as no surprise to you…

According to the DNC’s activist arm OFA, “Organizing for America is mobilizing on the ground in Wisconsin…”

That’s right. The Democrat National Committee’s Organizing for America (along with their union boss buddies) are helping to orchestrate the “uprising” in Madison.

[Perhaps that's what Nancy Pelosi means by "astroturf."]

-——The unions have brought Wisconsin to its knees.-——

After the assult is repelled, you counterattack.

Wisconsin is not on it’s knees, it is preparing for counter attack

Well then it’s time for Wisconsin parents to pull the locks off the doors and open the schools. We can’t have greedy teachers starving the needy.

We are FAR from imploding here in Wisconsin. People are officially pissed throughout the State. I have never heard such anger on radio shows in Milwaukee. Not just mad, but spitting mad.

We've only just begun to fight!!!

If you go to “Organizing for America” website, the contact page has 6 or 7 categories. If you click on “Issues”, the website itself boasts that this email is a direct pipeline to the White House.....

....in other words,this corrupt band of uncivil Hitler-sign-making rabble-rousers IS OBAMA’s OWN ORGANIZATION!!!!

Good deal, keep up the pressure. I can’t believe that all of this BS will turn out well for either the rats or the unions. They are both acting like total jerks.

Umm, we did vote for change. This is being orchestrated by the public union folks. All the regular people want Walker to succeed.

What he’s proposing isn’t even extreme.

The bill makes public union workers pay a portion of their pension (they pay none now).

The bill makes them pay a small part of their health care premiums (they pay none now).

The bill would only allow the union to bargain for salary, not anything else (which is what everyone in the private sector pretty much can do).

It is hardly extreme.

In case you missed it, we voted for HUGE changes last November - to the RIGHT! House and Senate (state and fed), Governor, Attorney General...

It’s the left and unions who don’t like this “change”. And too friggin’ bad! WE’RE BROKE!!!

To the pampered and protected and connected class, public unions thugs, in other words, that is extreme.

They expect to PROFIT off the hard work of others.
They work in SOCIALIST COMMUNIST HUMANISM SECULARIST WORSHIPPING INDOCTRINATION CENTERS. They think THEY are the masters, and so they have been.

We, and the other hand, are the serfs on the lords land.
We are to shut up and listen to those who steal from our children, while THEY live high and easy lives.

Well then, you all need to take to the streets to counter the communists because the blueprint is in plain view. Get every leftist, union thug, malcontent and societal misfit together that they can. Let them take to the streets. Have the media paint the picture like it is 90% of the population doing this. Count on normal people doing nothing. Then grab the controls of governing.

Great. What are the people saying on the call-in shows? Do you have a link to a Milwaukee station? I may look one up to give it a listen. I pray the people can triumph over the tyrannical leftists. It will not be easy.

Obammy is going to offer his services to “negotiate” a peaceful settlement with the “protestors.” Walker must step down for the cause of “peace” and “democracy.”
