Scott Walker's efforts to curtail collective bargaining for public workers.
On Friday, Kwik Trip was added.
In the letter, the groups said the boycott would begin Thursday, March 17, if the bank and Kwik Trip don't oppose Walker.
Jim Palmer, executive director of the Wisconsin Professional Police Association, said Friday the companies were targeted for either supporting Walker directly, or its executives supported Walker's campaign, or because the companies are members of Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, a pro-business group that supported the governor, or all three.

This just shows the union thugs at their best and the scare tactics that they are using. Again it is all about the kids and doing what is right to educate the children properly.

Jim Palmer is so dumb that he can't even figure out that the employees of Kwik Trip actually contributed more to democrats than republicans.

"Union thugs" ??? - LOL Who are they physically beating? Way to go with the hyperbole.

Try a far more accurate description: "free market solution" or "voting with your feet and dollars".

It was independent firefighters that started that boycott of M & I Bank, before any of the unions got involved. They were in Madison to protest, and all went across the street into the bank and withdrew their money - about $200,000 worth that afternoon. The bank closed that afternoon in fear of a run.

It was so successful, that everyone else picked up on it.

People are completely entitled to use whatever merchants they wish - and to boycott those whose behaviour they do not like. Worked for Glenn Beck.

Merchants in Wisconsin, who donated to Republicans, are not going to get certain people's business. It's a simple as that. Donation lists are public.

Let the people decide. That's the pure capitalist way
