The fallout from Gov. Scott Walker's budget repair bill has shifted to the private sector as upset citizens begin boycotts of business owners who contributed money to the governor.

Prominent local pilot Jeff Skiles, who was co-pilot of the "Miracle on the Hudson" plane, told WISC-TV that he will close his accounts, which total more than $400,000, at M&I Bank on Tuesday. Others have contacted WISC-TV in the past week to say they were also closing their accounts at the bank

Metcalfe said that Brat Fest could be affected this year, not only for his business but also because Johnsonville employees have been large contributors to Walker.

1. Now THIS will get their attention!

Good work and keep going, Wisconsin!

Best wishes from an old Texan!

2. Here is at least a partial list of products & places to boycott

Johnsonville, Menards, Home Depot, Kwik Trip, Walmart, SC Johnson, Stainmaster, Brawney, Dixie cups, AT&T, TDS, Hal Lenord publishing, Woodmans, Metcalfe’s Sentry...I tll you I almost feel sorry for Metcalfe's Sentry. They've been there for decades, and now have competition from a Target store that just went up literally next door, and they're advertising their grocery dept on billboards along University Ave.

4. Thanks for putting these up.

Not only will I boycott them, I'll send each one a post card as to why they won't be getting my business! :grr:

3. Ironic. That douchebag Scott Walker is causing my dreams to come true.

I'll take it.

5. He that lies with dogs, riseth with fleas.....

They don't understand it until it hits their wallet.

6. Oh you KNOW we are just getting warmed up!

No Sargento Cheese! No Johnsonville Sausage (brats, for my fellow Wisconsinites), No SC Johnson products! No WalMart! No Kwik Trip gas! No Georgia Pacific products! No Koch brother's products (check your TP!) No Menards! And so forth...

Edited to say: I see someone beat me to it! Please drop these folks an email to tell them why you are boycotting. Expect a mealy-mouthed reply to the effect that they 'can't monitor their employees' contributions'... except that most of the 'employees' who contribute big time are the CEOs and the members of the board of directors.

8. Remember Jeff Skiles?

He thanked his union for training that saved lives when his plane went into the water after a massive bird strike.

K&R!

9. He just withdrew his money from M&I Bank!

Reportedly hundreds of thousands of dollars! He was a graduate of UW Madison and lives in a suburb of Madison. Proud of him...
