Trust me on this one: I have friends in Wisconsin. The more the Union's run attack ads against Walker, the more the folks who voted for Walker are reminded of exactly why they voted for him. They are less than happy about the recall, they're tired of being intimidated by the unions, and they're the Silent Majority of Wisconsin.

(So my friends there tell me anyway.....)

It's criminal imo

The public employee unions have pledged to spend $60 million on their RECALL effort to viciously attack Gov. Walker and distort the truth about the success of his governorship
It's the dem/left/obama/chicago/thug/criminal way don'tcha know?

If the Unions and Dems blow huge dinero$ in attempts to defeat Walker but he wins by a landslide instead that will be sweeter than Cuban sugar cane syrup.

WARNING: The unions will do anything to win this one. they must win. If they do not then other electorates will also be able to deny them the ability to confiscate union dues directly from wages. If the unions lose this one they are DONE.

Yes, this is a very important bell weather situation.

The union crime bosses are going all out on this one.

I hope they are wasting their money.

We have to not only get out the vote, but fight against voter fraud and intimidation.

Plus the PTB’s allowing Mickey Mouse and Hitler to vote.

Yes, he is like the Rabbi that scored a hole in one on a Saturday ( Walker ) he can't tell of his victory i.e paycheck protection

That is,/I>what this is all about, with it they are done.

FWIW, Michigan got it in a limited way with I believe teachers only.

Watch Michigan next, and a guy by the name of Terry Bowman of Union Conservatives.

@usconservative. I'm in Wisconsin and your assessment is correct. Record turnouts at Republican caucuses and Lincoln Day Dinners. My worry is the clueless folks (like the ones who elected Obama) will be swayed by the attack ads. If conservative groups have enough money for similar attacks on either of the two likely ‘Rat opponents. They should even out.

Well, if they can’t drive Walker out of office maybe they can go party in Vegas - or hunt hookers in South American... Unions - Government workers - whatever...

I also have a couple friends there and they are saying the same thing.
The unions are making the case to keep Walker where he is. Gotta love it!

Unless this was changed later, I think a major issue was that not only was the governor changing their money without negotiation, he was also refusing to negotiate over hours and working conditions.

To clarify...

Act 10 was Walker’s budget reform. Under it the law allows state, school districts, and municipal employers to ask state employees to contribute a minimum percentage toward their health care and their pensions. It withdrew the privilege that the unions had in ‘collective bargaining, limiting their bargaining to wages and limiting those to inflation. Their working conditions are still protected by state civil service laws.

Keeping the record very clear, Walker did try to negotiate with the unions before the Act 10. They called him a ‘slave master’ for asking for these concessions.

What really torqued the unions was that Act 10 also relieved the state of the responsibility to collect union dues. This stops the easy income of big labor and over time will lead to a drastically smaller income. That is why they are on the warpath.

Stopping big unions allowed our property taxes to go down. It will also lead to improvement in our schools.

Oh I forgot one more element. The teacher’s unions had used their collective bargaining to force school districts to use the teacher’s union’s own health insurance company. This company charged about 1/3 over market rates. Getting rid of this coerced sweetheart deal saved Wisconsin taxpayers in the neighborhood of eight hundred million dollars.

Those are the major issues.
