Wow, ya think?
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
He needs to start calling it an attempt to overthrow a duly elected state government.
I’ve written my Congressional folks and asked them to investigate if any Federal funds or workers are involved in this administration payback; and if the RICO statutes have been or are being violated.
I’d like to see Walker use every tactic possible to get them back.
Is the Senate froze till they vote in this bill or can they bring other bills up? I’d start doing committee business and bringing up non-fiscal bills which don’t require a 60% quorum that the Dems would hate and let the chips fall.
It really is amazing how people bash this man.
Speaker Boehner is doing the right thing in calling out Obama for his meddling in the affairs of the Wisconsin people and their state representatives. Boehner may be over-emotional sometimes but he seems to have his priorities right.
[which would limit collective-bargaining rights for state workers and make them pay for their pension and health benefits. ]
BS. It would make them pay for a very small portion which is less than private sector workers pay if they even have health benefits or a pension. Why is this reporter lying?
Meddling via "Community Organizers" is about the only real experience our President has to offer. He is probably pretty good at it! But, perhaps, this time around he cannot sneak something through; there are real stakes in terms of significant budget shortfalls for the State of Wisconsin.
For the Dems to call the 800 pound gorilla known as the teachers’ union a “grass roots” action is laughable. The state of WI has been held hostage to these goons for decades.
Great call Mr. Speaker.

Thursday marked the third straight day of rallies in Madison, Wisconsin—where students, nurses, public safety officers, and others are gathering to stand up for the rights of Wisconsin state employees.
Republican Governor Walker Scott Walker has proposed a radical plan to take away the collective bargaining rights of public workers. Those who teach and those who plow the snow-filled Wisconsin streets would no longer be able to organize for better working conditions and rights in the workplace.
Since Tuesday, the streets of Madison and the halls of the Capitol building have been filled with thousands of ordinary folks who are sending the strongest message possible to their state legislators—their rights are not up for negotiation.
Organizing for America–Wisconsin, who has been among the most vocal advocates for state employees’ rights, is tweeting live from the rallies and pulling together the voices, videos, and photos of this movement.
Take a look at some of their recent tweets:
Speaker needs to say the entire truth. OBAMA CAMPAIGN AND DNC and BACKERS backs unions.
It’s true. I’d even go so far to “accuse” Obama of being behind these mobs.
Have them arrested and make them pay for the massive police fee to get them arrested. It says so in the state charter.
I don’t think this is an accusation, but more like a simple statement of fact.
RICO.
Government siphoning off taxpayer funds, laundering them through the unions and then spending them on elections.
Yeah, Boehner, Obama fights for communism with ALL the weapons at his disposal.
What do YOU do to fight for America? Besides cry?
I’ve never been to Wisconsin, but I cannot help but wonder if there might be some mechanism in place to replace the AWOL politicians who collect a pay check but do not show up for work.
