Thanks for coming. Actually, it’s kind of sad that we have to be here. But we all know that Gov. Scott Walker and his cohorts, in their first budget proposal after the November 2010 election, began waging war on working people and families. They started a fight, and we’re here to finish it - to dispel this political nonsense that is distracting our state from economic recovery and common well-being, by deteriorating our jobs, education and health care. Please join us in this grassroots effort!
Our Purpose – Remove Legislators and the Governor
We seek over the next year to remove members of the Legislature and the Governor, because they are harming the present and future lives of the people of Wisconsin from an economic, educational and health care standpoint. This is a grassroots effort to show our officials that they are here to serve all Wisconsinites in unity, and not try to attack, harass or humiliate one group of citizens to the benefit of another. We demand that our officials grow up in the way they govern, and that they:
1.) Treat Wisconsinites of all political perspectives with dignity and respect in our political processes, not deliberately pitting one group or class against the other;
2.) Embrace debate, discussion, negotiation and compromise, rather than ideological dogma, heavy-handedness, deception, lying and stripping certain citizens of their cherished, hard-won rights ;
3.) Never again co-mingle the taking away of fundamental rights of citizens with the budget process;
4.) Not ask or force one class of citizens to unduly bear a burden when, at the same time, another favored class is being politically rewarded with a lighter burden;
5.) Acknowledge that we are among the lowest-taxed nations in the industrialized world, and abandon the childish budgeting approach that says revenues cannot be increased or fairly shared by everyone, even in the face of already lean but increasing expenses.
