Scott Walker's employee performance review is today. Don't miss it!

https://www.facebook.com/events/190212347747438/



BREAKING NEWS: On Thursday Walker will be having his annual "performance review" in front of his real bosses. No, not the people of Wisconsin, the insidious business lobby group Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce (WMC).

In protest the Wisconsin Wave will lead a picket and rally outside of the event to further expose and delegitimize this secretive, reactionary institution which literally wrote and funded most of the anti-worker, anti-family, anti-Wisconsin legislation forced through the legislature this past year.

WMC and its undisclosed industry backers are the entities who really run the show in Wisconsin, no matter who is in power. Join us as we call out WMC for their role in buying our democracy (more on this below) and advancing their extremist right-wing agenda.

...

WMC has spent over $9 million in the past five years to influence our elections, at least $2 million of that going to Walker and his extremist legislative allies in the 2010 election cycle. (Source)




Protest is at Monona Terrace, from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. Be there if you can!!

The WMC is responsible for Gableman, Ziegler and Prosser being elected as judges. They poured much money into the state to influence these elections.
When Gableman was running a lawer friend of mine, who is now a judge, said, "Gableman will never be elected. He does not know the law and is not held in high esteem by the legal community." Guess he didn't see the WMC coming.
I am so sick of money determining who is elected in Wisconsin.

I left there a little over a year ago. The AM radio waves are saturated with conservanazi hatred and propaganda in Milwaukee. It's surprising how many of my fellow union members believe all that conservanazi bu$hit. But then, most of them were selfish, racist and greedy.
So, the conservanazi propaganda appeals to them
