[Madison, WI] As tens of thousands of public employees skipped work this week to attend protest rallies outside the Wisconsin State Capitol, many wondered if they would face any disciplinary action for unexcused absences.
On Saturday, a group of men and women in lab coats purporting to be doctors were handing out medical excuse notes, without examining the "patients."
"I asked this doctor what he was doing and he told me they were handing out excuses to people who were feeling sick due to emotional, mental or financial distress," said Christian Hartsock. "They never performed an exam-he asked me how I was feeling today and I said I'm from California and I'm not used to the cold, so he handed me a note."
Another woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said they were handing out excuses like they were leaflets.
"I asked if they were handing out doctors' excuses and a guy said yes and asked me if I needed one," she said. "When I told them I needed one for February 16 and 17th, he wondered if I wanted to come back here for the protests next week."
What happened next?
"I said, 'sure,' and I received a doctor's note for the 16th through the 25th of February, without a medical exam."
The notes read
Feb 19, 2011

Date of birth ____/_____/_____
To Whom it May Concern:

Based on an examination of the signature and medical license number provided, one of the men handing out these notes was purporting to be James H Shropshire MD, a Clinical Associate Professor at the University Wisconsin Madison.
At this time, MacIver News Service is attempting to contact Dr. Shropshire to see if indeed he was the one handing out the notes on the Capitol Square.
"You're not an honest person are you? You support lying?
Isn't witchcraft the art of deceiving and deception?"
Fuck off.
I was suspended for four days for going to an anti-Vietnam War demonstration on the New Haven Green and missing high school that day.
Some provided fake doctor's or parental notes to stay out of trouble, but I told the truth.
My position on the issue is that Governor is a dick head, and I support collective bargaining and I like Unions.
As far as those going to protest engaging in white lies, that is on them. Myself, I would be happy to say exactly where I was and would not use an excuse slip. And were I to be in that state I'd go protest that bill.
Stop fucking with me on the basis of my religion, asshole.
Yes- witchcraft is the art of deception. It is true. When this thing shakes out, if of those notes are connected with real medical personnel, they will lose their license.
And if people turn in fake notes- they will lose their job. The truth will prevail in the end, over anyone who is greedy enough to fall for deception.
That is why the liberal are in the trouble they are in now. Because their greed did them in.
You're not an honest person are you? You support lying?
Of course he does, the teachers we blindly trusted with our most precious pocessions, our children, they support these lies, don't ever be deceived into thinking otherwise.
What no one is talking about is, our Constitution gives the private workforce the right to collective bargaining and unionizing, many fought and died for that right, my family was among those who fought to unionize here in kentucky.
But Nowhere in the Constitution does it give Anyone in the PUBLIC workforce the right to Unionize and Bully the Taxpayers, threatening to bring in the federal government an forcebly TAKE what they have not earned. They actually believe that Obama has all the power and the state has no say into this.
Every state has their own 'collective barganing' table these (laughing called) teachers and public employees can set down with, negotiate with....
They ARE NOT highly trained Executives, or Elected officials who can demand Hollywood wages, outragious pensions, muliple paid vacations bonuses...ect from the American Taxpayer...
THESE THEIVES AND THUGS WERE NOT 'ELECTED' TO TEACH IN OUR SCHOOLS, THEY WERE 'HIRED', TO DO A JOB, NOT ROB THE PEOPLE WHO TRUSTED THEM! THEY ARE (SELF- ANNOINTED-GLORIFIED) "PUBLIC SERVANTS" jmho!
