Governor Walker is using the democratic process of our established Republic to close a $137 million (well $3 B) budget gap via stripping public union members of their collective bargaining rights and having them contribute a small amount to their exorbitant salaries, benefits, and pensions still less their counterparts in the private sector. watch?v=7tck77z3x0I & watch?v=PiNIbbp67pE

14 Democratic Senators fled the state in derelict of their duties. All 14 should be recalled.
Even President Franklin Roosevelt, a friend of private-sector unionism, drew a line when it came to government workers: “Meticulous attention,” the president insisted in 1937, “should be paid to the special relations and obligations of public servants to the public itself and to the Government….The process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service.” The reason?

@hootiemcgrudy2 The recall requirements in Wisconsin are set high for a good reason. However, I think you might be surprised.

he DOESN'T expect an educated workforce. In fact, this move is banking on one not being available.
