i think walker is a slimey piece of trash that is just going with the national republican agenda.
that said, wisconsin unions are also TERRIBLE. i should know. im getting out after a decade of service. i have never worked with so many lazy idiots in my life.
so who am i voting for? nobody. fuck it all, let them do whatever they want. ill be happy in a non union shop, and ill vote at the end of this term.
I'm sorry to hear that about the unions, and support you pushing for reform as needed.
But you should understand what's at stake is far bigger than that.
This is about Republicans wanting to gain a dominant advantage in elections - forever, by destroying Democrats' main source of funding, unions.
The top ten outside groups donating in the last election in 2010 had six big corporate-donation Republican donors, one non-partisan group, and all three others were unions.
Remove unions, and Democrats had no groups in the top ten from that list. Our elections are dominated by money, and this is much of their strategy to take over our democracy.
Unless you support the Republican agenda and want a one-party country (corporate donations led to the most Republican state legislators since 1928), this is a problem.
Your vote is important for the national agenda of Republicans attacking unions to win elections to let the '1%' they represent buy our government - permanently.
That's far more important than the 'union problems' you mention, and I accept your post.
Republicans are outspending Democrats *25 to 1* in this recall with (out of state) corporate donations, who want to buy government. Do you support money dominance?
