What Walker Didn’t Say Tonight-->from Wisconsin AFL-CIO

I received this as an email:
I only heard him speak a few times tonight-his usual boring talking points about standing up to unions (I actually took several breaks during the debate-found it boring-so I probably missed some of his comments

xxx,

How did Scott Walker’s attacks on workers and their unions turn out for Wisconsin? Teacher shortages causing problems for local district. Prison guard shortages forcing the state to incur mileage and hotel costs. Lagging our Midwest neighbors in job growth and a middle class that is shrinking faster than any other state in the nation.

These are the facts that Scott Walker hid in tonight’s debate. Make no mistake, Wisconsin’s economy is in the dump and people here are hurting. Attacking workers, skirting democracy and making decisions with campaign checks, not hard-working Wisconsinites, in mind is a recipe for disaster.

Scott Walker’s glossy packaged talking points may woo David Koch, but real working Americans can put two and two together -- they don’t want to see what’s happened to Wisconsin happen to America. Scott Walker is for the rich and powerful and his policies help the special interest 1% at the expense of the rest of us.

As working people, we must continue to sound the alarm and educate the nation on Scott Walker’s terrible record in Wisconsin.

In Solidarity,

Phil Neuenfeldt, President

Stephanie Bloomingdale, Secretary-Treasurer
