An Open Letter to Those Who Still Stand With Walker
Posted on 11 Hours Ago by kwilz79
......Walker supporters, if you are not swayed by facts, by frames, by narratives, and by language, then let me attempt to appeal to your most base patriotic notions of what is good, fair, just, and democratic. In an excerpt from a blog written specifically in regards to the Declaration of Independence and Walkers policies in Wisconsin, the author writes, Consent of the governed is a key phrase, because it implies that in the mind of the Founders legislators would have told the people how they intend to govern, and that people should have approved of the policies and actions that are taking place, likely through elections. Does that sound like this crew, who have governed by surprise and instituted numerous policies in this budget that they never ran on last November . . . .Think about the states secretive gerrymandering and numerous examples of the overriding of local initiatives and powers. These moves have skewed the makeup of the states legislature and laws to something that does not reflect the views of the state and local areas.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
The most recent example is the gutting of the states long-established open records laws last night, but its far from the only time Walker and his minions in the Legislature have dropped the bomb on numerous initiatives without warning. These last four years have featured plenty of special and extraordinary sessions to limit debate on non-pressing issues, and this budget session has seen numerous omnibus measures be introduced into the Joint Finance with no formal hearing, no public notice, and little connection to the budget items scheduled to be discussed.
