Walker to face recall

[Rune]

what message would that be? that the minority can hold up the will of the people?

The message? Really? How about this; Voting still counts. Elected official's first obligation is to the voters, not special interest groups.

$9 Million reasons... all of which should come out of future public union salaries if it fails.

Freedom isn't free.

It's not a freedom to suppress the rights of other individuals to organize.

or to bear arms, or to contract, or to do any other damn thing, but you let it happen

 

[Mott the Hoople]

Freedom isn't free.

It's a double standard too. If SF doesn't want union having such political influence then he should be opposed to corporations and other interest groups having such influence too.

i don't know where you get your news....but the GAB has not vetted the signatures. also, with legal challenges, even if the GAB vets the signatures, the signatures will not actually be vetted until the legal challenges are adjudicated.

It will take 46% (?) of the signatures to be falsified for the recall effort to be killed. Regardless, the fact remains that Walker has trimmed the deficit around without laying off teachers or state workers- I think that secretly, those workers who would have lost their jobs had unions had their way, whether democrats or independents, won't vote him out.

 

[Rune]

no doubt, but just as law enforcement unions shouldn't be able to influence the will of the people by opposing the implementation of laws restoring freedom and rights, so shouldn't labor unions force onerous rules and regulations that drive jobs out of the country.

Labor unions are driving jobs out of the country?

Dumbass Ohioan. She is a FEMALE NYC driver... the SAFEST place to be is in the middle of the street.

I wanted to do the eyeroll at this, but ever since they added those stupid faces to the smileys, I can't see any of the old icons. So consider yourself eyerolled at.

I assume he means that they vetted them as they collected them, for example by seeing a valid I.D.

All right then, pre-vetted. Better?

sure... not vetted would be the most accurate.

I do oppose that moron. The biggest problem in DC is that we allowed the idiots to convince the population that bribing is ok if you call it 'lobbying'.

True... but this has nothing to do with Freedom. This has to do with a group not liking the election results and laws passed to balance the budget and so they are going to force the state to pay for a recall election. It is a bad precedent. The unions should be forced to pay for it if they lose the recall effort.

Sorry to blatently disagree, but it most certainly is about freedom.

So you oppose this recall?

Because the people voted Walker into office. Walker and the State Legislature passed laws to help balance the budget. A SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP is opposed to these changes and is trying to force a recall election to get someone friendly to the SPECIAL INTEREST group elected.

Do elaborate.... WHOSE Freedom? What freedom?

haven't you been blaming and protesting wall street though?

​

the GAB vets them dune. and then if challenged, they are not fully vetted until judicial adjudication.

The verification process will take months, and GAB plans to ask a court for more than the allotted 60 days to complete its review process. A recall election -- if it happens -- may not occur until at least June.
