Part of the problem is that even if it passed, the system is too corrupt to enforce it.

It started ...This is a class war, pure and simple. It started during the Reagan administration and was maintained during both Bush administrations. Gov. Doyle should be tarred and feathered for his failures because he opened the door for Walker and the Republican super majorities in Assembly and Senate.<br />Keep up the sane rhetoric and continue to point out 3rd party references to back up your arguments. <br />I love the recalls but all the shouting and the Zombies has to stop. If I were going to campaign for the Republicans, I would simply roll tape of the arrests and the shouting and ask, "who do you want to lead?"<br />I am a lonely Clinton Centrist in Waukesha County. I feel that I can turn some people around. Many fire and police officers are thinking again about their support of the governor. Put them on television, on your literature and have them introduce you and others at speeches and rallies. Republicans constantly portray themselves as the law and order party. Show the public that this is a sham. If we won't pay the police and we are going to remove benefits they bargained for, their support is in word only. <br />Your tag line should be, "Wisconsin's corporate tax break paid for by your local police and firemen."<br />I don't know how teachers got such a bad rep. Right now, unfortunately, they cannot help you on stage. I Waukesha and Ozaukee counties, parents are threatening principles, saying that they will not allow their children to attend classes taught by those who protested the loss of collective bargaining. They are a lightning rod where you need a conduit.<br />Good luck and keep up the good fight.Dan McDermotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05717705467111584462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920025976952051655.post-88971509887073241472011-06-16T23:06:12.118-05:002011-06-16T23:06:12.118-05:00Thank you, Mark--one of the numerous reasons why I...Thank you, Mark--one of the numerous reasons why I'm proud to be from the 78th!MamaMaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01367764382073943356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920025976952051655.post-39405009996748055622011-06-16T18:28:23.441-05:002011-06-16T18:28:23.441-05:00Thanks for the speech and the links.

After all, cutting basic services for the poorest and most vulnerable Wisconsinites while simultaneously lowering taxes for the wealthiest Wisconsinites, is not only hypocritical it's downright unAmerican! Scott Walker & his political donors should be ashamed of themselves. With your help, however, I have renewed hope that the majority of Wisconsinites will see through their shenanigans.jolentahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08006224143120718716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920025976952051655.post-68173225920614638622011-06-08T11:56:57.281-05:002011-06-08T11:56:57.281-05:00this video totally ROCKS!. you are so right on tar...this video totally ROCKS!. you are so right on target. thank you for stepping up. this is how we win. p.s keep em coming, you're on a roll.GenerosityMarketinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09067197824056863334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920025976952051655.post-28766496198610710512011-06-08T09:41:37.477-05:002011-06-08T09:41:37.477-05:00That was great! thanks Rep.
