Dear Governor Scott Walker,
You are but a couple months into your term as Governor of the great state of Wisconsin. You obviously have an agenda, but a person must question your motives. I’m not even sure what you’re doing could be considered Republican or conservative, for it would be an insult to those that hold those labels. Just because you took action, are steadfast in your ways, and are passionate about how you do things doesn’t make it noble or right. The world has had many leaders with those traits who thought what they were doing was right, but were entirely off base. Your name is now on that list. Your hard-line, no compromise stance on issues is really alienating the citizens of Wisconsin, and the way you introduced and passed the Budget Repair Bill was a disgrace to not only yourself, but your state, and your party.
Your victories, if you can call them that, may seem great for you in the very short-term, but your way of governing has no means for any long-term lasting effects. Your controversial legislation not only enraged Democrats, but Republicans, as well. You tried, with lies, to pit the private sector against the public sector, but the truth then came out, and you looked like a fool once again. You attacked state employees, stripped them of their rights, and then went after education. Maybe, however, it’s a simple difference in values, for many of the people in Wisconsin value education. The teachers in your state especially value it, for they not only teach the children that will hold the future of your state, but also have something you do not have: a college degree.
