WALKER WINS WISCONSIN RECALL ELECTION

See the Title?  Walker Wins Wisconsin Recall Election.  I am practicing up, saying it over and over and over, getting ready. 
And here's the latest good news.  Monroe WI School District saved over $800,000 on the renewal of their insurance/dental plans for the District employees.  The savings from Gov. Walker’s Act 10 keep on growing.    We are lucky to have him in Wisconsin!  He did what he said he’d do and what we elected him to do:  balance the budget, reduce the deficit significantly, put a lid on property tax increases, give schools and municipalities more control over their budgets, bring some sort of reason and sensibility to dealing with government worker unions.  He did it all, and in the process revamped collective bargaining. 

The result?  Gov. Walker’s reforms are saving municipalities and school districts millions of dollars enabling them to limit job layoffs.  The State of WI now has a surplus.  We are out of the red and well into the black.  Not many other states have a governor willing to make such difficult decisions. 

And what did Tom Barrett, Gov. Walker’s opponent do?  Barrett attacked Walker’s proposals to reform collective bargaining, but then Barrett used some of Act 10’s provisions to help reduce Milwaukee’s health care bill.  Barrett stated that the alternative was to cut 300 to 400 jobs.  And now when asked what Barrett’s “plan” is if he beats Walker in the recall election, Barrett and the Democrats have been unable to tell us.  That’s because they have no plan.  They just want Walker gone because he dared to challenge the unions.  If they regain power we will promptly reverse course, go back to restrictive collective bargaining, and financially be back in the red. 

Folks, the stakes in Wisconsin’s Ridiculous Recall Rant are higher than any state election ever.  Public employee unions understand that the legitimacy of collective bargaining is now in question as states, municipal governments and school districts struggle with the burden of a costly public sector, including pensions and retiree health care costs.  They understand that the Gimme Gimme Well is drying up. 

The Recall election date is June 5.  Every Walker supporter must goWalker. I am proud that you belong to Wisconsin. I hope you win in a landslide. to the polls and vote.  It is not enough to stay home and be happy that it’s over, though we all are relieved that Walker will finally be able to put this joke of an election behind him and get on with the business of governing Wisconsin.  We must send a powerful signal to other reform-minded governors and to the whole country that we cannot afford to go back to business as usual.  Wisconsin is righting its ship.  We can't afford higher taxes, runaway spending and even fewer jobs.  Thank you Governor Scott

AUTOMATONS GOOSE-STEPPING IN WISCONSIN'S CAPITAL ROTUNDA

Wonder Why the Legislators in Madison can't get much done at mid-day? And why lots of WI schools have had to cancel their class trips to Madison to see the Capital? And why the blood bank has had to close down? Why Capital Tour participants have to wear ear plugs? Why Capital visitors are forced to leave the rotunda because of the din. Why Capital staffers and employees are leaving work with headaches and ringing ears? Watch the video for a vivid picture of Capital protesters. Members of the noon-day sing-a-long, which takes place inside the Wisconsin Capitol rotunda daily, talk about fatigue and how they keep staying strong for the "protest."

Solidarity forever?? Raised fists?? Reminds me of the Communist Party. But these people are union puppets, brainwashed, indoctrinated, goose-stepping around the Capital rotunda like automatons. Common sense? Uh huh. Respect for others? Guess not. Respect for the Capital? Not a bit. Do they have jobs? One wonders. They march in a circle, are disruptive and obnoxious, shouting and singing, and behaving in the same oppressive manner that they so vehemently decry.

This boorish temper tantrum goes on while the State of WI, school districts and municipal governments continue to rack up millions of dollars in savings thanks to the elimination of collective bargaining. I say, Right On, Governor Walker. THANK YOU. You did what we elected you to do.

MORE THANKS GOV. WALKER AND THE REPUBLICANS

Here's another story about how the Walker Budget Bill containing the collective bargaining changes has benefited a community. Oh, my gosh, it's Dane County, home of the most liberal population, most liberal political system and most liberal court system in the State of WI and maybe nationwide with the exception of California. But Walker's Budget Bill has no favorites. All taxpayers are benefiting.

Dane County has an $8 million deficit in their 2012 budget, but now thanks to a new 5-year reduced premium agreement with their insurer and additional premiums paid by their employees, Dane County has saved over one million dollars. Does anyone think this would have happened had the Demobrats remained in control of Madison? Gee, it's amazing, isn't it? The Republican bill that sparked 6 recall elections is turning out to be a real money saver for lots of municipalities and school districts. Thank you to everyone who worked hard and voted to keep at least four Republicans in Madison. Hopefully after today's polling (two Democrat recall elections) there will be more Republicans sent to Madison.

RACKETEERING GODFATHER STYLE!

Hello Readers - I was sent this great article from Investors.com about the union Death Threats against the WI Republicans who voted for the Walker Budget Repair Bill because that's what they were elected to do - GET RID OF OUR DEBT!! In addition to these Death Threats there are many, many businesses in WI who have been threatened with boycotting their services and products. Some have actually received letters from the unions stating they are being targeted.

So you lose at the ballot box and then throw a temper tantrum? Sounds like bullying to me. Only the unions mean it -- they will break your kneecaps, smash your fingers, get out their guns and place their bombs - the end justifies the means, according to the unions. I am waiting for the first Republican to turn up in a roadside ditch with a knife in their heart or a hole in their head. When it happens we will know who to blame.

I am also waiting for Obama to condemn the behavior of the union rabble-rousers. But he is too busy golfing to give a hoot about what's going on right under his nose.

DO YOU DOUBT WHAT I AM SAYING HERE? THEN WATCH THIS VIDEO ABOUT RICHARD TRUMKA, HEAD OF THE AFL/CIO AND A MAN NAMED EDDIE YORK. AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

HERE'S THE VIDEO


HERE'S THE ARTICLE
Racketeering: Over a dozen Wisconsin state senators have received death threats after voting to remove public union collective bargaining powers. Funny we haven't heard President Obama call for civility lately.

When Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., and 18 others were shot, and a federal judge, a 9-year-old girl and four others murdered, the president traveled to a Tucson sports arena to call for "more civility in our public discourse."

It is doubtful that speech saved a single life from any of the other psychopaths roaming free in America.

If President Obama were serious about preventing violence, he would by now have taken his civility road show to Madison, Wis., where union goons have been sending lawmakers Corleone-esque horse's heads through the mail, the phone lines and cyberspace.

State Sens. Pam Galloway, Glenn Grothman and Joe Leibham were among more than a dozen Republicans sent e-mails with messages such as "Death threat!!!! Bomb!!!!"

A note shoved under Grothman's door said, "The only good Republican is a dead Republican." He has stories of getting obscene phone calls in the middle of the night.

Two Republicans, state Sen. Randy Hopper and state Rep. Jeremy Thiesfeldt, feel so threatened that they backed out of marching in Saturday's St. Patrick's Day Parade in the city of Fond du Lac.

On top of that, businesses, such as Milwaukee financial firm Marshall & Ilsley, have received letters from public employee unions threatening boycotts.

Grothman says the threats to GOP lawmakers who are committed to restoring fiscal sanity to Wisconsin have "only steeled our resolve."

It was just last week that Republicans finally succeeded in restricting public workers' collective bargaining privileges after Democratic state senators had left the state in an attempt to thwart the legislative will of the elected majority and GOP Gov. Scott Walker.

Imagine the media storm that we would be enduring right now if these threats were directed at liberal Democrats and the issue was, say, abortion.

When members of an organization commit acts as part of an ongoing criminal enterprise, it's time to start investigating them under the federal RICO Act.

But in the meantime, where is Obama? Where are the calls for civility now?

Since these union goon tactics are the logical consequence of the Democratic National Committee's organization of the original Wisconsin protests against Walker last month, perhaps the president and his political allies have a civility double standard.
