Wisconsin DUers (First of all, my sympathies) Does Walker have any backers to
his policy? What about the people who voted for him -- are they still on board or have they seen the error of their ways?

Hang in there! The whole country is watching - and rooting for you! :pals:

3. I read that even Republicans, as they are workers too,
are against what he is trying to do. I don't know if they voted for him, but any intelligent person even if they voted for him, would have to oppose him attacking their own rights.

6. So many times they (R's) seem to accept the BS, and "rights" doesn't enter into
their lexicon. But when it happens to THEM -- yeah, you're right.

I think more and more what the Republicans are doing will sink in with their doe-eyed devotees. Hopefully.

Currently, the association has nearly 4,000 members that include both large and small manufacturers, service companies, local chambers of commerce and specialized trade associations.

5. Yes. Primarily George Mitchell of Whitefish Bay
He's a noted leader of the Club For Growth that is spending millions on anti-union television ads throughout the state.

I am pretty sure that it is Mitchell who is hounding Boehner to say something nasty about Wisconsin state workers. The rich guys really expect to get their money's worth, they hate it when the little people confound their efforts with quaint things like DEMOCRACY!
