For once, we need to take a page out of the leftist playbook and overwhelm their system.

And if we don't do it now, we will never get another chance.

FREEDOM.. is being able to NOT join a Union...
"Right to Work"... "IS" freedom..

If Wisconsin is not a right to work State, then there is NO FREEDOM in Wisconsin.. The Union SCAM must be BUSTED... Unions have HIJACKED Wisconsin..
