A talk radio host mentioned something so obvious, I overlooked it completely.
Although several other states have governors who are limiting public sector collective bargaining, Wisconsin appears to be the benchmark for the unions. The example given was 8500 people showing up to protest the actions of a governor in another state. We had 10 times that number of protesters for a month in Madison. Union bosses from around the nation are flooding Madison with money and people glad to participate in the protests.
I don’t know if you’ve heard this, but union thugs have cited businesses whose employees donated to Governor Walker’s campaign and are encouraging everyone, especially union members to boycott these businesses. Well, the latest union tactic is sending our letters to totally innocent business owners and informing them that if they won’t post signs in their businesses stating they agree with the union’s position, they will be boycotted. It has really become Chicago politics around Madison.
I still hold out hope that the silent majority, especially those in the private sector who have suffered in this recession, will show up at the polls and retain Judge Prosser as Supreme Court judge.

I share your hope about Prosser. Wasn't Walker elected in November? Hopefully that election will be recent enough to stick into people's minds about why they put him there.
Where do you public union workers get off demanding that your neighbors pay for your health care and pensions for the rest of your lives? You're not collectively bargaining against some fat cat CEO flying on a company jet. You are collectively bargaining against your neighbors who make half as much as you do. " -- Rush Limbaugh.
