Scott Walker's Reality

March 11th, 2011

There was a signing ceremony today for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's dishonestly passed and union-busting bill. He is not only smugly proud of playing his part in the ongoing assault on America's future, he's seemingly delusional.

From Bloomberg:

"We heard from the public they wanted it passed and moved forward and get refocused on creating jobs,” Walker said today on CNBC."

A majority of Wisconsin citizens did not want this. A majority of American citizens were opposed as well. Just what "public" is he referring to? The "public" that lines his uneducated pockets with donations? The out-of-state "public" that gets bussed in by the Koch Machine? The wealthy "public?"

This only confirms the growing perception that these new radical corporatists genuinely don't believe that the electorate which opposes them is actually part of the equation. They aren't his "public."

Again, we urge all Wisconsin citizens to PLEDGE TO SUPPORT Gov. Walker's recall.

Scenes From America

Mar 10th, 2011

The Wisconsin Assembly has just passed the anti-union bill on the heels of the senate's dishonest maneuvering yesterday evening. It now awaits the signature of Gov. Scott Walker.

"Debate has been shut off. Dems rise to be recognized and object, but it's to no avail.
The vote is 53-42 with one member not voting. GOP Reps. Dean Kaufert, Lee Nerison, Dick Spanbauer and Travis Tranel voted against the bill.
The roll call is taken, and the session is adjourned. Dems and the hundreds in the gallery are chanting "shame" at the Republicans as they slowly leave the floor into the Speaker's office." EMPHASIS OURS

It's About Time

The 9/11 first responders bill has pass despite the lingering obstructionism of Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK).

From ABC:
"The bill passed after Senate Democrats struck a deal Wednesday with Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., who agreed to drop his objections when the cost of the bill was reduced by about $2 billion.

The Oklahoma Republican had come under withering criticism for opposing the bill on the grounds that it provided "overly generous funding" and included "unnecessary and duplicative compensation funds."

Coburn emerged Wednesday from a closed-door meeting that included Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and New York Democrats Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand to reveal that that a deal has been worked out that will likely enable the bill to pass the Senate – and then the House – by the end of the day."
