Back in the '60s heyday, that was called a sit-in, and the sit-in protesters were hauled away to jail. But the unions own this police force (and probably most of the nation's, sadly).<br /><br />I propose a plan of action: WI Assembly and Senate pass a bill allowing for a right to work state (i.e. union membership is optional); the Governor signs it; he announces that all police who will not sign a paper stating their allegience is to do their sworn civic duty over supporting the union will be fired, and replaced (a la Reagan with the ATC incident). <br /><br />Maybe it is over-reach. But it is time for Republicans to stand up and make the needed changes while they have the seats, the governorship, and the people's support (and a majority of the nation's, too, after all the thug violence and mob rule).<br /><br />Just sayin'.DINORightMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067345219054999889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-52853780793177074172011-02-27T23:37:37.271-05:002011-02-27T23:37:37.271-05:00Time for a new Capitol Police staff, obviously Doy...Time for a new Capitol Police staff, obviously Doyle holdovers.

This is a battle to keep the public sector union members feeding at the public trough, i.e. the taxpayers.<br /><br />But I guess being in a public sector union means you can go to work when you want to (since the schools are closed) and still expect to have a job. Cushy gig if you can get it.<br /><br />But at least I have to give the CWA guy who appeared on Judge Jeanine's show last night credit; he said this was really all about Democrats vs. Republicans and that even though the Republicans won, and now have control of both Wisconsin Houses, and the governor's office, the unions are not going to let the Republicans nip their backing for Democrats in the bud by allowing people to decide if they want to pay union dues, or not.<br /><br />For two years we hear "I won" and that "elections have consequences" and the Dems were perfectly happy with that policy until they were so badly tromped last November. Now, true to Democratic tactics, it's all about "democracy".<br /><br />Who do these clowns think they are fooling?retire05https://www.blogger.com/profile/04192090871824415437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-46354000923939269712011-02-27T19:12:30.520-05:002011-02-27T19:12:30.520-05:00There's only one active live stream for now.
