Excerpt: "'KUCINICH: Would you answer the question? How much money does it save, Governor?' 'WALKER: It doesn't save any.' ... Walker's admission is crucial because he had long claimed that his anti-union 'budget repair bill' was designed to save the state money, not bust unions. But his words today echo those of Wisconsin state senate leader Scott Fitzgerald, who last month effectively admitted that the union fights are not about budgetary issues, but rather about winning the next election by depleting the ranks of organized labor."

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.

Even if there were a few "good ones" they are not good because they go along with their rotten leaders and don't speak up, so as far as I am concerned they are all rotten.
Note that Republican Issa refused to allow the substantiating letter from the Wisconsin LRF to be placed in the public record. Let's make sure to have that be a campaign issue that Issa has to answer for, next election. Clear as glass Issa is a union-buster mentality as well.
Dennis Kucinich thanks for telling scott walker what's up union busting by him and other corportae controlled republicans claiming to be TEA party members but they are billionaire puppets of the koch brothers deserve to get burned.
Other vital pieces of the evil puzzle: constant and oh so profitable for the villainiares warmode, no enforcement of regulations of oversight regulatory agencies (i.e. SEC, EPA, etc.), no assuring of free, untampered elections, no free and impartially investigating press, no mass educating of the populace to smarten up and alert vs. dumb down, etc. etc. etc.
When all the pieces are collected and put in place, the puzzle is solved, much to the dismay of the evil Kochs, and their Koch suckers such as Walker, Bushwhackers, Tea Party, G.O.P. and Dem. puppet whores of the villainiare rulers.
Time to roll up our sleeves and go into Wisconsin and Kucinich style determination/courage, in order to solve the puzzle and win the war against we the sheeple, and, most vital for our children and generations to come, to ....
UNDO THE COUP!
"Let My Little Light Shine" on Gov. Kochroach.
Unions went soft. Their members joined the clubs, became part of the power elite, and in doing so turned their backs on the rank and file. This is the result.
I was a member of two good unions, and successfully led negotiations for one. But even then our national "leaders" were anything but leaders, weak and seemingly frightened. The entire union process is about enforced justice--impossible when there is no backbone.
Always good to hear from another veteran Mr. Buckles.. As, 'in deo veritas' says. "You tell it like it was and is.." I salute you both and will back you up for the right to say what you want, any time. Cpl. Pierson, 101st Vietnam
I agree 100% of what you are saying.
I should know because I have voted ever since I could since I was 21 (now its 18) then it was 21. I am 84 and the Republicans have never done anything good for the American people and always hampered the Democrats to help the people.
So where does all these questions, proving yet again that GOP/TF are really Liars? How do we get that to the News of ABC etc?
This is a great site but we need others to read/hear for themselves.
Yearly vote on belonging to a Union is fair. There is State Union in Pa that I would never join again due to their being more like GOP, in fact most Internationals are just like Corporations and sometimes I wonder if they are up in arms for their paychecks or People's?
I think however, that perhaps the Unions should have the right to say if you are a Republican you should not join an American Union. Let them work for $7.25 as the Utah GOP wants, no benefits and pensions. Fine with me. Then perhpas my raises can go to me instead of Insurance thieves.
