Wisconsin's Walker forced to remove AFL-CIO "fake endorsement"
http://wisaflcio.typepad.com/wisconsin-state-afl-cio-blog/2011/03/legal-action-vs-walker-over-misuse-of-afl-cio-logo.html

<snip>
Gov. Walker continues to show that he believes himself to be above the law. On his "Governor Walker, Public Figure” Face Book page Walker proudly displays the AFL-CIO logo in an attempt to trick the public into thinking that the AFL-CIO has endorsed his extreme anti-worker policies.

That is not only disrespect, it is illegal, fraudulent, deceitful, inappropriate, double-dealing, tricky, misleading, deceptive and wrong. It also shows poor judgment from our Governor.

Today the Governor was delivered a letter from Trister, Ross, Schadler & Gold, PLLC law office to immediately “cease and desist from any and all unauthorized uses of the AFL-CIO name and marks.”

Some even go so far as to call themselves Democrats and post on the internet.

2. My wish that he have the worst one year governorship is coming true!
May every day bring one more headache and more frustration and may his gut wrench painfully into a knot of rage. Hey, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. To the point where he won't wait to be recalled and he quits. That way we can have to quitters in the Republican Tea Bag Party.
