Subject: Atten: Death threat!!!! Bomb!!!!

Please put your things in order because you will be killed and your familes will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks. Please explain to them that this is because if we get rid of you and your families then it will save the rights of 300,000 people and also be able to close the deficit that you have created. I hope you have a good time in hell. Read below for more information on possible scenarios in which you will die.

WE want to make this perfectly clear. Because of your actions today and in the past couple of weeks I and the group of people that are working with me have decided that we’ve had enough. We feel that you and the people that support the dictator have to die. We have tried many other ways of dealing with your corruption but you have taken things too far and we will not stand for it any longer. So, this is how it’s going to happen: I as well as many others know where you and your family live, it’s a matter of public records. We have all planned to assult you by arriving at your house and putting a nice little bullet in your head. However, we decided that we wouldn’t leave it there. We also have decided that this may not be enough to send the message to you since you are so “high” on Koch and have decided that you are now going to single handedly make this a dictatorship instead of a demorcratic process. So we have also built several bombs that we have placed in various locations around the areas in which we know that you frequent.

This includes, your house, your car, the state capitol, and well I won’t tell you all of them because that’s just no fun. Since we know that you are not smart enough to figure out why this is happening to you we have decided to make it perfectly clear to you. If you and your goonies feel that it’s necessary to strip the rights of 300,000 people and ruin their lives, making them unable to feed, clothe, and provide the necessities to their families and themselves then We Will “get rid of” (in which I mean kill) you. Please understand that this does not include the heroic Rep. Senator that risked everything to go aganist what you and your goonies wanted him to do. We feel that it’s worth our lives to do this, because we would be saving the lives of 300,000 people. Please make your peace with God as soon as possible and say goodbye to your loved ones we will not wait any longer. YOU WILL DIE!!!!”

The Democrat party is not only the party of cut and run (with Democrats from Indiana and Wisconsin fleeing to Illinois), but it's also the party of union thuggery. The Wisconsin matter clearly proves that the Democrats have sold out to big labor, and are in bed with the unions.

It's really simple: If you want to keep unions in check and prevent them from raiding treasuries and bankrupting municipalities, states, and our nation, you cannot vote Democrat.

A Side Effect Of Leftists Protests Exposed

The voters didn't want this tab for sure. (HT Wikipedia)



The taxpayers have another reason to have contempt for the public sector unions and their Democrat supporters. From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

"State officials said Thursday that damage to the marble inside and out the State Capitol would cost an estimated $7.5 million.

Cari Anne Renlund, chief legal counsel for the state Department of Administration, said in Dane County court that estimates of damage to marble includes $6 million to repair damaged marble inside the Capitol, $1 million for damage outside and $500,000 for costs to supervise the damage.

Much of the damage apparently has come from tape used to put up signs and placards at the Capitol.

It was not immediately clear how the estimates were made, though the state is apparently relying on opinions by historical architects, one of whom works for the U.S. Park Service.

One concern is the residue from tape that the state says is causing damage to stone and other surfaces inside the Capitol."

Leftists did the same thing last year at the mall in Washington, DC remember? A prime example of how they trash, damage, and destroy everything they touch.

This was a common scene at the Capitol. (HT Rush Limbaugh)



Here's an eywitness account from Wisconsin State Senator Glenn Grothman:

GROTHMAN: We're trying to keep some people out of the building because right now the building is becoming a pigsty. The building smells. We used to have nice little groups of fourth grade children walking through the building. There was something called the Senate Scholarship Program in which high school kids could track us around. All that's being shut down by a bunch of slobs taking up the building! We can no longer continue to have all these slobs in the building. College students who are having a fun party, that's largely who's in the building overnight -- and if you get up early and talk to who's in the building at seven a.m., you will find it is largely college students and hangers-on having a party in the state capitol.

So the union protest is turning into the march of the slobs. More from State Senator Grothman:

GROTHMAN: The people who are staying overnight are largely making a mess of our capitol. That's what you're addressing. Why are we keeping people out of the building? Because we do not want to have so many people there overnight defacing our beautiful capitol. If you would interview all the people who are creating a ruckus, the vast majority who are here today are not police officers or nurses. They're either college students or hangers on -- or unemployed people just looking for somewhere to hang on.

Bottom line: These "protesters" have done damage to the capitol as well as their own cause. The reason is this: they don't respect themselves, other people's property, and they certainly don't respect other people's money. The voters/taxpayers are fighting back against this narcissism, and they have a governor that's on their side.

Possible 'Dissension In The Ranks' Amongst Wisconsin Democrats

We may have reached a tipping point. (HT Wikipedia)



Looks like some Democrats in Wisconsin are showing some wearing and tearing. From Fox Nation:

"State Sen. Julie Lassa (D) is pregnant and "extremely unhappy" about being on the run. State Sen. Jon Erpenbach (D) has been hit particularly hard by his paycheck being withheld. Wisconsin State Senate leadership is currently negotiating with eight of the fourteen to come home."

If you're out of money, your options will be limited. I can't even imagine being pregnant doing this. As we move into the long term, it's becoming more evident that the Democrats holdout won't last.



Especially when there's nowhere to hide. (HT Big Government)

A Conundrum For Wisconsin Teachers & Democrats

The battleground. (HT Theguidetotheus.com)



The teachers unions in Wisconsin have put themselves in a bind. From National Review Online:

"So far the angry teachers of Wisconsin have not yet won over the public. They have not convinced the majority that, in an age of staggering budget deficits, they — or, indeed, public employees in general — must as a veritable birthright enjoy salary, benefits, and pensions on average far more generous than those of their private-sector counterparts, who make up the majority of taxpayers.

Teachers are right that the crisis transcends compensation. Yet why, others might ask, would teachers’ unions oppose merit pay? Why should someone who did not join the union still have to pay its dues? Why should the state have to collect the dues from employee paychecks on behalf of the union? Moreover, when these questions are posed amid a landscape of teachers skipping classes to protest, urging students to join them, and soliciting fraudulent doctors’ notes to cover their cancellations of classes — while their supporters in the legislature hide out to prevent a quorum and thereby subvert the democratic process reaffirmed last November — the public becomes further estranged from their cause."

The teachers went astray when they fibbed about calling in sick so they could protest and followed it up with those bogus doctors notices. Furthermore, did the teachers have the parents permission to have the students join them??

The conundrum gets deeper. From Hot Air:

"Given the disaster that union contracts and especially pension plans have become in most states, we can expect to see this fight take place everywhere in the nation, including on the federal level. Unions have a conundrum in this crisis as well; the more they flex their muscles to maintain their status quo and block the serious downsizing that most people want government to conduct, the more it will expose their grip on politicians and make it even more urgent to dismantle their grip on power.

We have finally come in Madison to the basic question: will voters control government and public policy, or will the unions? Don’t kid yourselves into thinking the unions don’t understand that, either. They know exactly what’s at stake in the Battle of Mad Town, and that’s why they’re throwing everything they have into winning it."

Which is why Democrats and unions must be defeated. Sarah Palin makes this plain:

"Hard working, patriotic, and selfless union brothers and sisters: please don’t be taken in by the union bosses. At the end of the day, they’re not fighting for your pension or health care plan or even for the sustainability of Wisconsin’s education budget. They’re fighting to protect their own powerful privileges and their own political clout. The agenda for too many union bosses is a big government agenda that only serves the union bosses themselves – not union members, not union families, and certainly not the larger community. Everybody else is just there to foot the bill; and if that bill eventually takes the form of thousands of teachers and other public sector workers losing their jobs because the state of Wisconsin can no longer afford to keep them on the payroll, that’s a risk the union bosses are willing to take as long as their positions are secure. Union brothers and sisters: you are better than this and you deserve better. Don’t be led astray."

Amen. Don't go down with the union bosses. They're not worth it.

17 Year Old Gets The Wisconsin Issue

On Wisconsin. (HT 50States.com)



Something very interesting happened yesterday. From RushLimbaugh.com:

RUSH: We have Lena on the phone from Madison, Wisconsin, 17 years old. Am I pronouncing your name right, Lena? Is that it?

CALLER: Yes, you are.

RUSH: Thank you very much. Great to have you here.

CALLER: Yes. I'm so excited. I was at the capitol all week this week for a government leadership class, and as we were walking around the capitol one of the main signs that the union it printed out said, "Care about our educators the way they care about your children," and I found that incredibly ironic, since what they were essentially saying with all their other signs is -- other than your student will feel the brunt of this bill -- was that they weren't going to teach as well if they had to pay a minuscule amount of their pensions and their insurance costs. And I just found that ironic that they said that they cared about them so much that they wouldn't teach them as well if they didn't get as much money. I found that incredibly ironic. Also another thing I was saddened by was that one of the nights that they stayed overnight, they had doughnuts the next day, and they had such disrespect for our state constitution that they put their doughnuts and coffee on top of it. I was just so saddened by that, amazed that there they were saying that they were exercising their rights, but they didn't want their --

RUSH: So they actually...? I want to go back to the first part of your comment. They have signs that say, "Be as respectful of us as we are..."?

CALLER: "Care about our educators the way they care about your children."

RUSH: Well, but they don't care about the students! It's obvious! They're lying about calling in sick.

CALLER: Exactly!

RUSH: They're not sick. They're leaving you up for grabs, and you're not in school.

CALLER: I'm actually homeschooled, so I was just amazed. I'm like, "Really? You don't even care about them enough to give them your same work ethic even if you're not getting as much money?"

RUSH: Wow, that's amazing. This is encouraging. You're 17, did you say?

CALLER: I am, yes.

RUSH: You got teachers running around here. If they cared, if the teachers unions cared about the kids, their scholastic scores wouldn't be in the toilet. Your scholastic scores are pretty high, I'll bet.

CALLER: Mmm-hmm.

RUSH: You're doing well in your grades, right?

CALLER: I am.

RUSH: This is interesting. Well, look, I'm glad that you called. This is just wonderful to hear from you. She's 17 years old and she nailed it.

CALLER: (giggles) (garbled)

RUSH: Lena, you know, you're able to spot the irony, the hypocrisy right in front of you. Congratulations. I appreciate the time you've taken to call here. That's why when people say, "What can we do to involve the yutes," get 'em to tune in to this program. Homeschool them; get 'em to tune in to this program. Just like in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood wants Scott Walker to tear up the Wisconsin Constitution and write a new one. That's exactly what's happening here.

What stands out to me about Lena's comments was that she saw the hypocrisy in the union slogan, "Care about our educators the way they care about your children." Very perceptive. What also stood out is her noticing the Union protesters "disrespect for our state constitution that they put their doughnuts and coffee on top of it." They don't respect themselves, much less the law of the land.

My Take: The Unions care for the children is in doubt. Especially when graduation rates and test scores are low, scandals keep coming out about financial corruption amongst school board and union leaders, and teachers shutting down classrooms in part by lying about calling in sick so they can "protest".
