then this shows why tax paying public sector jobs should not be union.

RE: “THIS IS WHY requiring people to list their employer or employment info with all political donations is being used to target them by the mob. We need to put a stop to that political mandate.”

****************

Even long before I did retire, I simply wrote ‘retired’ where they ask for that info on a political donation form. No employment information was ever revealed.

>>>But the other side can organize a boycott, too.

Business owners can refuse service to union thugs too. And they ought to.

Then Walker and the GOP were really surrounded by the forces of evil. Now I am really impressed with the tenacity of this GOP governor. Amazing.

Well, since this public worker unions say THEY WILL BOYCOTT those who do not actively support them, than CITIZENS AND PRIVATE BUSINESS should boycott the public sector unions!

In other words, state and local business and services should be placed with private non-unionized business and service providers ASAP.

In the event you would like to discuss this matter further, please contact the executive Director of the Wisconsin Professional Police Association, Jim Palmer, at 608.273.3840.

I love the irony of going after M&I. They were a thriving Wisconsin based company until Jim Doyle (locally) and Obama (nationally) wrecked the economy. Now they are being absorbed into a large Canadian-based bank. One has to wonder if their corporate lawyers might have something to say about their corporation being extorted.

Also, M&I has been a huge corporate sponsor in the community - local little league parks, etc.

I think people from Menomonee Falls should call Jim Palmer and ask him to personally pony up for the MF Little Leage Park, since he is determined to try and take out one of their corporate sponsors.

The Taft-Hartley Act (also the "Labor-Management Relations Act"), passed in 1947, loosened some of the restrictions on employers, changed NLRB election procedures, and added a number of new limitations on unions. The Act, among other things, prohibits jurisdictional strikes and secondary boycotts by unions, and authorizes individual states to pass "right-to-work laws", regulates pension and other benefit plans established by unions and provides that federal courts have jurisdiction to enforce collective bargaining agreements.

We need a list of those who are courageously ignoring this boycott and those who are knuckling under.

That won’t happen. Tea Partiers are at work, raising families etc. The occasional rally on a Saturday is about all the Tea Party can plan. Not to minimize their good efforts, of course.

Are these union tools (if it is actually union members picketing and not paid bussed-in agitators) collecting union wages during their picketing?

N Nevada is open for business.

No Corp Income tax.

No personal Income tax.

Housing prices reasonable-—under $200,000 for a nice house less than 5 years old, in Lyon County, east of TRIP- the Tahoe Reno Industrial Park.

Property taxes reasonable.

Larger parcels where you can have livestock are higher.

I think this is a right to work, right to hire & fire state.

Southern Nevada is VERY UNIONIZED.

Not so in N Nevada.

Large industrial park= Tahoe/Reno industrial Park under development on I-80 about 12 miles east of Reno. Lance Gilman is the developer.

I have absolutely no connection to this development.

I don’t think this will work. Look, I think a lot of UNION members agree with Walker...so these boobs who’re trying to shakedown businesses are basically speaking for themselves and a small minority.

The punk kids and fat clowns who populated the state building the past month are going to have to go back to their parent’s basements and comic book stores SOMETIME...and all that will be left are the jackballs listed in this letter.

Not a very promising future for them...and if they think threatening people like this is going to win them new friends or obedient, fearful followers....they’ve got another think coming.

Is this not an illegal “secondary boycott”?

I believe secondary boycotts are illegal.

I think everyone who supports Walker should call this Palmer jackass and vent their spleen. Give him a piece of your mind; he obviously hasn't got one of his own!

Director of the Wisconsin Professional Police Association,
Jim Palmer
(608) 273-3840

Ring 'em up, and let 'er rip!

**********James L. Palmer, Executive Director Wisconsin Professional Police Association*****

EVEN THE COPS ARE INVOLVED! Un-believable.

The police escorted kids who walked out of school and marched to the Capitol yesterday.

They are overpaid jackbooted thugs. I'd fire them all and see how Madison enjoys a police free city. Wonder how all the lib women feel when they are mugged and raped by their brethren.
