1. 17-16 is not a mandate...it is a narrow margin

The only thing left to do is vote these evil mother fuckers out of office.

6. It's also a win, and is over with

They have now WON on this issue, and if you think the 17-16 margin will somehow stop them from implementing this, you need to put down the crack pipe.

Vote them out? When? Two years from now? How the hell will this help anything?

7. The law can be put on a referendum this year and be repealed.

11. Only cowardly democrats care about "mandates".

The Republicans care about winning and pushing their agenda while Democrats worry.

2. I wonder what percentage of those public workers voted Republican?

3. I'm pretty

sure they will have enough signatures for the petition to put on the ballot for the voters to restore this. All the gopers are doing is hurting the working class by trying to get rid of any opposing party. The gopers have proved that they want one party rule.....kings and servants....

Also like nature, the Dems know how to adapt and re-take and RESTORE.

The fight has just begun. Vote these suckers out!

4. i wonder what percentage of the public workers families....

won`t be voting republican. it never fails to amaze me when republicans think that every union member in these states are democrats. it`s like once they join a union they automatically turn into democrats.

the president of a local afscme union is a republican who does`t mix his politics with his duty to represent his union members.

9. I'm sure quite a few ....

and most of them -sadly not all - just learnt a hard lesson

5. This is going to go over well for Republicons at the voting booth in Ohio in the next election lol

keep it up you lunatics and see where all of this craziness eventually gets you. I actually can't wait for this to end so the suffering of the majority working class and poor will stop. My staunch Republicon (Union) family members are enraged lol......it's about time they woke up. See, I told you they'd come for you.

8. Just a reminder, this thing can be repealed via a referendum this year.

Polls show Dems have the votes for it.

10. I'll volunteer to collect signatures. Just looking for a contact person.

on edit> Gonna call OEA tomorrow.

12. The Fascist Revolution Is Taking Place Before Our Eyes

First, it was workers rights. Now, the Republicans are targetting the elitist elderly for living on public dole in the form of social security. Thus, in order to defang the AARP, Republicans are demanding that the IRS audits them. What about the U.S. Chamber of Commerce?
