In Wisconsin, Democracy has been abandoned for tyranny and that start of the people no longer having power in their government. I have heard Gov Scott Walker say that he wanted to hear from the people on how they felt about this bill. I am guessing that the 70,000 people outside of his office and the thousands of others who were protesting their towns that made and did not make the newspapers were not really the people. These are Wisconsin citizens and they would like to stand for the rights of themselves, their parents, siblings, civil servants and educators. They value this work that these people have provided and would like to see that for the future generations.
Even though, us temporary residents, do not tote a Wisconsin ID, we have been educated in your great institutions of higher learning. I have personally have been in Wisconsin for four years now and have been across the southern portion of the state and may know it better than some Wisconsinites. I have been afforded great opportunities within the 65,500 sq miles of the beauty that is this state with the motto of "Forward".
It seems odd that a man without a college education (I have more education than a governor) has just bitch slapped about 300,000 with a few words and pen strokes. He has only been office for a three months and has caused so much damage. Good ole Dubya took about at least 2 years to do it. I guess kudos to you Scott Walker for making Wisconsin FUBAR in such a short time.
I hope that maybe the people will rise up and fight back before all is lost. One of my friends has often been using this quote and I believe that is it fitting for the end of this blog today.
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Thomas Jefferson
Today song is Dear Mr. President by P!nk. Even thought its to former Pres. Bush. Some of it is very true for Gov. Scott Walker.
