xxx,
How did Scott Walkers 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 tonights debate. Make no mistake, Wisconsins 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 Walkers glossy packaged talking points may woo David Koch, but real working Americans can put two and two together -- they dont want to see whats 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 Walkers terrible record in Wisconsin.
In Solidarity,
Phil Neuenfeldt, President
