Walker will be introducing a Financial Martial Law bill

[Ed Suspicious]

Ed Garvey on WPR this am dropped the bomb: Walker will be introducing a Financial Martial Law bill like that in MI. The Republican commentator corroborated the story. No major news outlets reporting on it yet. We need this exposed!

Full disclosure, I got this from a facebook friend, but a reliable one indeed.

We really are in for the fight of our lives against these fascist pricks.

Is Walker ready to drop another bomb?

Chatter is that Scott Walker wants legislators to give him power to declare a fiscal emergency in a local government and take it over - - an anti-democratic power grab dreamed up in Michigan that now gives the governor there the authority to void public sector labor contracts and bar elected officials from taking office for up to ten years.

9. Let's start by having all the governors

who think this is a good idea work for free themselves. And then the legislators ditto.

It's quite interesting that NONE of those recommending various draconian cuts are recommending them for themselves.

10. That's gotta be unconstitutional unless ones writing

the state's constitutions or the federal constitution never foresaw such an event happening.

12. Aren't we already in financial martial law?

Don't we keep surrendering what little pay we make to these fucking rich CEO leeches? Eh fuck it, let's make it official.

[QED]

13. Is this another ALEC thing?

Talk about domestic terrorists!
