Except for their desire to literally purchase as much of our government as they can, purchase control towards their own self-reward and self-interest.

![]() I don't get it. You don't like a private person contributing their own $ towards a politician or a particular political party to help their interests, but you have no issue with public mandates (ie. required union dues) where a large sum of the money goes towards a particular political party to help them.

Unions dues are not "public mandates". Is that like "thug" no longer means violent when you use it? Unions have contributed to both public political parties. They contribute to those that defend their interests. As the Koch Brothers do.

![]() Quote:
When that teacher talks to an employer about a job offer, the employer tells you what the contract entails. You read your contract before you sign it. Every teacher has every right to take a job in the private sector, or a government job where joining the union is optional, if they do not want to pay union dues and be part of a union. That is what capitalism and free-market principles are all about. You want to attract the best teachers, you offer what those best teachers want. Or they go elsewhere. Walker is actively trying to take those collective bargaining rights away. Your teachers are going to go elsewhere. That's part of the plan, however, as the next goal is to bemoan the sorry state of the education system, and then privatize it, or begin using "education vouchers" (essentially a good way for the rich to have the general public pay for their kids private schools) Quote:
But are you going to take the stand that the Wisconsin NEA branch of the American Federation of Teachers has never donated to a Republican candidate? ![]()

![]() The Judge was approached over the weekend with request for an emergency hearing on violation of her injunction not to publish - she saws the law is NOT in effect due to her injunction no matter what they do (sorry Senate Leader Fitzpatrick), and she'll address everything tomorrow in court.

![]() Judge blocked any further implementation of the Wisconsin union-busting law until she can hear the case on it's legality, and had some distinctly pointed words for Senate leader R-Fitzgerald regarding his trying to go around her temporary restraining order and say the law is published and implemented.
Gov. Walkers office was saying the same thing, and yesterday they already changed paychecks of state employees to not withhold union dues - WRONG MOVE guys. You are not above the law, even though you are acting like it. This certainly will end up in the Wisconsin supreme court - thus very important election April 5th for supreme court judge.
