I STAND WITH SCOTT WALKER RALLY (organized by American Majority)
I’ll be in Wisconsin tomorrow.
Time: Saturday, February 19 · 12:00pm – 3:00pm

Location Wisconsin State Capitol, South Steps
——————————————————————————–
Created By Dave Westlake, Matt Batzel, Ashley Schultz
——————————————————————————–
More Info NOW Featuring Andrew Breitbart of Breitbart.com and Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit. More Speakers TBA.
As the week has progressed, Wisconsin and the Nation have watched schools across Wisconsin close due to teachers participating in a “sick out”, the unions bussing people in from other states to inflate their rally numbers in Madison and legislators fleeing the state to avoid the vote on the budget repair bill.
It’s time the voices of the Wisconsin people are heard.
We’ve had thousands of people show up for tea party events to rally to take our state back – but our work isn’t done. Let’s have our voices heard once again and show our state legislators that we support this bill. We need concerned Wisconsin citizens to show up at noon on Saturday, February 19th to voice our support for Gov. Walker and our conservative legislators! Tell your friends–let’s set a turn out record!
More on the Support Scott Walker Rally – here.
UPDATE: It was just announced that Herman Cain will also speak at the rally.
UPDATE: Ned Ryun - President of American Majority and Vicki McKenna were just added to the list.
UPDATE: 64% of Americans agree with Governor Walker that government employees should not be represented by labor unions.

Great idea! Wish I could be out there with you!

WISCONSIN PARENTS UNITE!!! Officially pull your kids out of the failed, corrupt public school system this week in order to let the cancerous unions and their backers in this dishonest administration collapse in on themselves for lack of funding. No students, no dollars. Let them have it. THey want to shut down schools? They want to stop the state from functioning? Let them be the first casualty. One pleasant side effect of doing this will be your child actually starts learning again and enjoying life – and you won’t see them on prime time TV protesting in the streets for reasons unknown to them.
PARENTS UNITE!!!
Muffin commented:
Now is the TIME!!! Democracy has never been so important, and never so at risk. Don’t just call in sick, call in DONE!!! Save your student, save your state, save our democracy. This is chemotherapy for the cancer that unionized rage is.
vagabond trader commented:
Ditto that Granny! Hopefully there will be many more such rallys across country. We cannot allow the commies to control the narrative.
Robin Gibson commented:
I can’t be there but I will be here cheering you on! Stay strong. I’m so upset that they are using our children in this fight. If this gets ugly, which it will, due to the push to fight and a child gets hurt, I hold them responsible!
Militant Conservative commented:
I as well can’t make it from Ga. I’m doing my part here to get the TPM conservatives into the Republican party and rout out the RINOS.
Godspeed
powder is dry.
Robert commented:
I think that the Wisconsin legislature should declare a quorum present and vote, and pass the bill on to the governor for signing. Since the Democrats are willfully staying away, they are subverting the process of legislation. One would presume that the purpose of requiring a quorum is to ensure that legislators have a fair chance to attend votes, such as if there were as true natural disaster, weather, or other event that prevented them attending. Since the Democrats have purposely stayed away, they then should be forced to forfeit the right and protection presented by the rule.

Thomas Jefferson commented:
The teachers are playing Obama-Poker in Wisconsin and Ohio, soon to hit a state near you. We need our states and nation to get back to fiscal sanity. Stay strong Governor, the remaining 49 stand beside you. I was just discussing:
Back on February 2, 2011, we were discussing the uprising in Egypt. I said, “As the government tried to wean the general population off their entitlements and detach them from their source of dependence, the people rose up against independence. Interesting, basically an independence revolution for dependence.” I continued, “What is happening in Egypt has less to do with democracy and more to do about entitlements. We don’t believe that this could happen in America, do we?” Opps. I knew it was going to happen, just not so quickly. Be prepared. Throughout the country we are going to have similar demonstrations to what we’re seeing in Wisconsin and Ohio. Welcome to the Self-interest Revolution. Vive la moi. El bienestar de la guerra de la independencia.

Yesterday I called my Congressman, Michael McCaul, and told his office that since Organizing For America is considered Obama’s campaign organization, it should not be involved in state affairs and I wanted the Congress to hold investigations into the actions of OFA.
For all of you who support Governor Walker, and think it is time the unions, along with Organizing For America, are finally stopped in their tracks, you can do the same. Call your federal Congressman/woman TODAY. Demand that OFA be investigated.
To anyone who still thinks that the teachers who are participating in a “sick out” still care about your kids, you need your head examined.
CALL YOUR FEDERAL CONGRESSMAN TODAY. DO IT NOW. INVESTIGATE ORGANIZING FOR AMERICA TODAY.
Joe Blow commented:
Our son lives near Madison and even during the summer farmer’s market up there the kids are protesting something. It’s still Bush’s fault to them and anything else they feel is conservative. I think conservative supporters of Walker will have to be very careful of the potential violence of the leftist group. The people of Wisconsin have high taxes due to the huge social programs and the do nothings from other states go there since they can get such free help.
On another note, Jim if you read this, in an article from The Daily Caller, on middle of the road Democrats ( HA! those running for reelection in 2012) working with the Republicans.
He states
“That leaves Sen. Claire McCaskill, whose rhetoric on spending lately has been strong enough to trick a disorganized Tea Party organizer into inviting her to speak at a rally. The Missouri Democrat has been working hard to distance herself from leadership, and this could be a prime opportunity to flex some muscle. She has co-sponsored a bill with Alabama Republican Sen. Pete Sessions to cap spending over the next ten years.”
Who is the Tea Party organizer that asked Claire to speak at their rally? Can anyone be that out of touch to believe what she says? She is the original Obama rear end kisser!!!!
forest commented:
Who paid for the bus, hotel rooms etc for the state senators? They didn’t run away from their jobs and charge their employer the costs, did they?
And storming the capitol and senate offices. At tea parties I’ve been to, we stayed on the capitol steps without any Hitler signs or arrests or violence or littering.

#11 retire05 –
I would gladly call my Congress critters, but I live in Vermont. I have no lucid Congressman to call. I’ve sort of informally adopted Joe Wilson because he had the courage to call IWon WTF a liar in public . . .
retire05 commented:
Granny, I understand in Vermont you’re screwed. But you can still call John Boehner’s office and demand an investigation into the actions of OFA. Doing nothing is NOT an option.
Ipso Facto commented:
Last night on the news they interviewed a WI teacher and she said she felt like the Governor was “stabbing her in the back”. Clearly, the people in WI have little to work with if the teachers are that irrational about being fiscally responsible and bringing their health and pension contributions to half of what most people contribute in the private sector. And many people in the private sector (like me) have no pension fund.
These vermin have totally ruined our educational system across the nation and they feel like THEY are being stabbed in the back? This is what happens when people in the public sector have to face reality – they are simply unable to do so because they have no point of reference. They have absolutely no idea what it is like in the private sector to have to go out and do sales and marketing to obtain customers so that you can make a living. They have no idea what it is like in the private sector when you are not competitive in the market place. They have been so isolated from the realities of business in America today that they have no clue how all the rest of us have to sing (every day) for our supper, or we don’t eat.
These parasites on our economy have totally squandered the resources we have given them to educate our children. They will NEVER be worth a damn. We need to totally abolish the federal and or public educational system because it is just yet ANOTHER example of how the public sector has no clue about what most people have to do to EARN a living in a COMPETITIVE environment.
As long as they have an unending supply of students who just walk in the door, no matter what the teachers and administrators do, these arrogant people will abuse the system and feel entitled to exorbitant compensation packages which the free market would never support. We need to place all educators in the position where they have to compete for students or they will have no business – JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.
mark commented:
When Congress said they would not completely support Obama’s 3+ trilliion budget, Obama said that Republicans were playing a dangerous game and could result in the shutdown of the Gov’t, disrupting the lives of so many citizens that rely on gov’t services.
On the other hand, when liberals, including Obama, don’t get what they want, they do what? They shut down the Gov’t and disrupt the lives of everyone.
Contessa61 commented:
I wish I could be there, but will be busy.
FDR:
“The process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service,” President Franklin D. Roosevelt wrote in 1937 to the head of the National Federation of Federal Employees. In the private sector,… organized employees and the employer meet across the bargaining table as (theoretical) equals. But in the public sector, said FDR, “the employer is the whole people, who speak by means of laws enacted by their representatives in Congress.” Allowing public-employee unions to engage in collective bargaining would mean opening the door to the manipulation of government policy by a privileged private interest.
donh commented:
Talk is cheap. Walk the Walk with Walker. Don’t let the rented mobs organized by Obama bully americans with your own tax dollars. Now is the time to assemble in large numbers and stop the plunder of our country by greedy unions.
Scott commented:
As I understand it, Governor Walker put these reforms forward to avoid having to fire anybody. I read somewhere that the alternative is to fire up to 10,000 people.
The solution seems pretty simple. Tell the strikers if they aren’t back on the job by Monday, they’re fired. Everybody wins. The people who want to work keep their job and the greedy people who want to screw the taxpayers for more money and continue the illegal lose their jobs for violating the law.
Of course, these loons will probably set fire to the capitol.
