Related: About this forumBranstad’s Hero Scott Walker Coming To Town
http://www.blogforiowa.com/2013/05/22/branstads-hero-scott-walker-coming-to-town/DES MOINES Progress Iowa and One Wisconsin Now will hold a Scott Walker Truth Squad in advance of Wisconsin Governor Walkers appearance with Iowa Governor Terry Branstad at a Polk County GOP fundraiser on Thursday, May 23rd in West Des Moines. The event on Thursday will pre-empt their propaganda and give Iowans the truth about their failed attempts to create jobs and their policies that put working and middle class families at risk.
When Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker joins Governor Branstad in Iowa on Thursday to promote his dangerous anti-middle class agenda, well be there to fight back with the truth, said Matt Sinovic, executive director of Progress Iowa. Governor Branstad has said hes inspired by Walker, which must be why he has wasted our tax dollars on giveaways to foreign corporations and puts the needs of working Iowans dead last. We want Governor Branstad and every Iowan to know the truth about Scott Walkers policies and the disastrous impact they have on working families.
One Wisconsin Now Executive Director Scot Ross commented, As he pursues his ambition for higher office Gov. Walker is spinning yarns of his Wisconsin success. But Scott Walker has one the worst job creation records in the nation and Wisconsin is rated dead last in short term job creation prospects, he enacted the biggest cuts to public education in state history and is now pushing a health care scheme that costs more to cover fewer people. The numbers dont lie, the real Walker resume is a record of failure.

I think it would be a GREAT way to release some pressure that's been building in my life recently by standing out there cursing walker. On behalf of a friend who's losing his job as a direct result of walker's union busting policies. 16 years seniority and his contract isn't getting renewed. Yeah, coincidence my ass. Union activism and open anti walker stance cost my friend his job.

I have no doubt Walker will be getting a huge, huge push for the nomination.
