2. Thanks for the information. Wisconsin could be the start of a national movement This morning |
|
Bloomberg, reported today with video what is happening in Wisconsin.
In my experience, Bloomberg usually leads the MSM in stories that become national news

5. Walker won in 2010 with a 52% to 47% margin. |
|
It's very difficult to recall governors. Generally, those recalls are unsuccessful. I'm not sure what percentage of Walker voters were union members. If the number is too low, it will be a very difficult recall, I think. Worth doing, but very difficult.

6. Workers in capitalism fought, suffered and died for 200 years to win collective bargaining rights. |
|
A single election result shouldn't get to overturn that struggle for justice.
Walker won his election before he announced that he is a would-be tyrant who wants to end workers rights and call out the military to help. That was not among his promises. If ever there were grounds for a recall... !

7. I agree 100%. It should be impossible. I'm sure a recall campaign |
|
will be launched. I sincerely hope it's successful.
