Message to Wisconsinites!

[ananda]

Scott Walker's endgame: to sell Wisconsin's power plants and state heating to the Koch Brothers... not just destroy the unions, but literally put the people in hock to vested interests.

He's also willing to start laying state workers off if the Dems don't return and pass that ugly POS bill. This is so nasty!

Stand strong Wisconsinites. Strike if you have to. We are one!

1. K&R

2. Since the Koch brothers supported his candidacy big-time,

if he (with the power he is giving himself in that bill) sells to them, I call that quid pro quo. That's illegal.

3. I read that in the bill

on thewheelerreport.com

also the fact that he wants DHS to have the power to change medicaid (Badgercare) without legislative approval...

powergrab against labor
powergrab against Wisconsin owned utilities
powergrab against healthcare for the poor

This sonofabitch has got to be stopped.

recalls of Repub senators must begin now

5. ... and with the Nat'l GOP trying to gut the EPA ...

... Wisconsin will look like a third world country in no time, then the Koch's will move on to other states where they can make a couple billion ...

[ananda]

6. Yes, recall as many of the Reep bastards in WI as you can!

Now!

4. They already authorized a Gen Strike - needs to spread across America

7. I heard yesterday he's going to hit the UW system hard

(gossip at work, albeit from a reliable source). We had just been given the right to unionize last year and have not gotten organized as yet. As it stands now, we have very little power to fight back (we have a long standing pattern of writing well crafted letters of outrage and protest as we bend over to take it).

So even those of us who are not union, but state workers, stand to lose a lot!

8. His end game is to

privatize everything. The Unions would stop that, so he has to rid himself of the unions.
