I read that Unions have over 1 Billion dollars in M&I Bank, so why have not drawn it out already? That would end the sale of the bank and stop the bonuses to the CEO.
Withdraw now, should be the chant!!

John,
In response to your comments above. I can't answer for Mary regarding whether, or not, she has a personal interest in the outcome of this debate. But, I can tell you that you are ill-informed if you think this is primarily a union debate.
Personally, I have no vested interest in this, or any other union debate, but still stand opposed to Walker's budget bill. The issue of collective bargaining is a controversial issue, which has been used to take the focus of the other alarming aspects of this bill.
Slashing education funding, medicaid, and privatizing the University of Wisconsin - Madison are enormously imporant issues that have been left undiscussed. Additionally, the provision that would allow the privatizination of energy plants, with no legislative approval, is of grave concern - and quite suspect, if considering the relationship between Walker aned Koch Industries.
Please do not assume that the only individuals who oppose this administration are either democrats and/or union members. I have been a registered republican for 25 years, however I am vehemently opposed to this bill, as well as to Governor Walker.
Every elected official, democrat or republican, has an obligation to engage in honest, open debate regarding policy. It is quite clear that Walker has no intention of participating in such. This has been demonstrated not only by his militant actions, but more shockingly, in the recorded statements made when he assumed he was speaking with David Koch.
Thank you, L.R., for making the reading, thinking public aware of this outrageous violation of Constitutional balance of power and limitation of governmental scope. I have passed along your enlightening comments to my friends and social circle so others may become aware of this covert indoctrination psy-op being run on American children.
Fight for parental rights to homeschool our children. Children who grow up within the police-patrolled, iron-bar-secured schools of today are indoctrinated into subservience and acceptance of police-state totalitarianism as the new normal. The only way to bring up open-minded, liberty-oriented individuals is home education. In this light, parental rights to homeschool without governmental intrusion is our last great hope for the survival of individual rights and the privacy and sanctity of the family.
