Subject: the senate meeting last night
I'm sorry if I am stepping on anybody's toes or offending anybody, but I
have to send this out. You can't keep ignoring what is happening here!
This is not about money...it is about rights!
- Last night the Wisconsin Senate Republicans used the nuclear option to
ram through their bill attacking working families. Walker and the
Republicans acted in violation of state open meetings laws, and last night's
events have demonstrated they will do or say anything to pass their extreme
agenda that attacks Wisconsin's working families.
- Last night's trampling of the democratic process in Wisconsin shows
that Scott Walker and the Republicans have been lying throughout this entire
process and we have been telling the truth - that NONE of the provisions
that attacked workers' rights had anything to do with the budget.
- Losing badly in the court of public opinion and failing to break the
Democratic Senators' principled stand, Scott Walker and the GOP have
eviscerated both the letter and the spirit of the law and our democratic
process to ram through their payback to their deep-pocketed friends.
- Scott Walker and the Republicans' ideological war on the middle class
and working families is now indisputable, and their willingness to shred 50
years of labor peace, bipartisanship, and Wisconsin's democratic process to
pass a bill that 74% of Wisconsinites oppose is beyond reprehensible and
possibly criminal.
- Recall efforts are under way for many senators and the governor...check
out the web for information.
My response:
There is so much to target here (oh, sorry....violent imagery).

Apparently, those of us who are not unionized teachers do not qualify as "working". That is insulting right off the top.
Apparently, the author is concerned about violation of "open meetings laws" (there were no violations - but even so, from the violent response, there's no question that there was a good reason to not advertise this meeting for 24 hours), but not all that concerned that the Democrat Senators fled the state in violation of state law and disenfranchised every voter in the state.
The author loosely uses the term "democratic process". The only ones trampling on it were the Democrats who illegally fled the state (see above) and those who invaded the state capitol and intimidated elected representatives repeatedly because they did not get their way.

Democrats "principled stand"? Really? Disenfranchising every voter in the state? Further, 86% back the bill for the give-backs and when people understand that public-sector "bargaining" is nothing more than collusion, they are heartily in favor of the Governor. And anyone who did not know he was going to do this did not pay attention during the campaign and did not see what he did in Milwaukee County. "Deep-pocket friends" who might that be? Taxpayers who are repeatedly raped by teacher's unions? The only reason they demonize the Koch Brothers now is because to their juvenile minds, it sounds dirty and "Halliburton" is too hard to spell.
I am looking forward to adding to the Republican majority when the recalls start. Two of the Republicans targeted - Alberta Darling and Glenn Grothmann are in heavily Conservative districts. Several of the Democrats under recall were lucky to get by in the last election.
Criminal? What is criminal is the way public-sector unions collude with politicians to line each others pockets. The more the public sees, the more they swing toward the Governor.
