MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Gov. Scott Walker says the Wisconsin National Guard is prepared to respond if there is any unrest among state employees in the wake of his announcement that he wants to take away nearly all collective bargaining rights. Walker said Friday that he hasn't called the Guard into action, but he has briefed them and other state agencies in preparation of any problems. Walker says he has every confidence that state employees will continue to show up for work and do their jobs. But he says he's been working on contingency plans for months just in case they don't. Walker says he's not anticipating any problems. His plan would require higher pension and health insurance contributions and remove bargaining rights except in a limited way over wages.

Will Americans rise up and fight for their rights like the Egyptian people did in the face of oligarchic tyranny?

Collective bargaining rights are protected under the first amendment of the constitution. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The real tyrants are the government bureaucrat unions (including the teacher's unions) and their protectors in the Democrat party. The have enslaved us under a mountain of debt and force us to pay for their worthless monopolistic "services" That's who we have to rise up and fight.
Exactly. Sometimes, your way of summarizing key issues in such a concise way is nothing short of the word "elegant." Such nuances, I'm quite sure, will be utterly lost on the sheeple (like godwinson).
Socialist ass-hats think "There will be no more money when the U.S. dollar has no value, until that time we can keep printing more." And yes, that IS from LF's answer to Ben Bernanke, go65, leading disfunctional and delusional socialist of the forum. "You want me to kill THE ENEMIES of Jappos, I'll kill THE ENEMIES of Jappos, Rebs, or Sioux, or Cheyenne... For 500 bucks a month I'll kill whoever you want. But keep one thing in mind: I'd happily kill you for free." Algren, "The Last Samurai" It's about time employers stand up for their rights and those of the taxpayer.
The only govt employees that have rung up this debt to high levels are the ones in the military and law enforcement. LOL!
