What Russ Feingold had to say about Walker's ploy to destroy collective bargaining
Edited on Sun Feb-13-11 10:48 AM by HereSince1628
From last Friday, for those who missed it.

http://russfeingold.org/workersrights

"Governor Walker’s request to the State Legislature to eliminate nearly all of the collective-bargaining rights for thousands of Wisconsin workers is big government at its worst. No private employer can do what the governor proposes, nor should it. For decades, Wisconsin has protected the rights of workers to collectively bargain with their employer on wages, benefits, workplace rules, and many other aspects of their employment. The governor is wrong to suggest that public workers are responsible for the state’s budget woes, and he is wrong to use that bogus excuse to strip them of rights that millions of other American workers have."

1. Russ's Army
should be at the forefront of this battle...he had one of the best organizations I've ever seen but it was swallowed in MILLIONS of dollars from the Chamber of Commerce

The Army is still out there

Please Russ, ask your army to fight Walker and his minions.

Please?

4. There didn't seem
to be any way to contract Russ or his organization directly...I signed up but didn't see how to "rally the troops"...

Anyone seen a statement from Herb?
