Ever been to NJ?

December 2011: Andrew Jensen, a real estate broker and Walker donor, was arrested in December for allegedly refusing to cooperate with prosecutors in the John Doe probe. He was not charged with a crime. (Jensen's attorney, Patrick Schott, said he had no comment on the matter.)


That is the best part. SS anyone?

Naw. I'm from Illinois where we put them in jail

Repeated violations of open meeting laws. Theft of taxpayer money. Illegal campaign activities. Illegal legislative activities. Sexual activity with a minor. Governor's former office aides arrested for multiple felony charges in expanding investigation.

Wow, if this were the Wisconsin Democratic party and elected officials, I somehow doubt you guys would be rushing to defend the behaviour. It's sad that nobody steps up to say, "I support the guy, but if there was illegal activity, I do not support that".

"Unions" don't sign recall petitions. Wisconsin citizens did. If the citizens want to keep Walker and the four Republican legislators, they will vote them in. If they want them out, they will vote them out. This is completely legal, and the constitutional state's right of the citizens to force recall elections if they want to.

Unions bully and get their members to do as they are told. I am willing to wager that union members make up a great deal of the signers.

Well, that's an assumption on your part I don't agree to.

If there are union member signatures there (I am sure there are, too), it is more likely because Walker went ahead and union-busted after the unions immediately gave him every single budget concession he wanted; rather than the imaginary dream of a "union thug" standing over their shoulder forcing someone to write their name on a recall petition when they do not want to.

And union members or not, the state required about half a million signatures to force a recall election, and got over 1 million. The recall election will go forward. Be sure to go to the polls and vote you conscience.

Are you in a union? Do you hire union workers? Have you ever been a member of a union, I understood you are a Vet.

No, no union applicable but yes I would, yes, yes.

Scott Walker was first elected by being the candidate that won against a recalled candidate. Walker won a recall election. That's how he got his start in politics.

Scott Walker didn't run (campaign) on destroying unions, but he did, as soon as he got into office. His citizens don't like what he and his legislature did, that's why four were already under recall (two were recalled), and now four more, with Walker and his Lt. Governor are undergoing recall elections.

Walker is merely following the Republican Governors Association ALEC agenda given him, the same agenda they are trying to pass in Michigan, Ohio, Florida. It's no secret ALEC writes most GOP legislation (there was even a Florida congresswoman last week that submitted some bill, but forgot to take the ALEC mission statement off it).

The citizens can support it, or not. It appears now that most are going with, "not", but we'll see how the six recall elections turn out.

Speaking of "thugs" ... how many pro-Walker supporters have been arrested for threat, attack or intimidation of recall petitioners (a felony), versus how many anti-Walker petitioners have been arrested?

The violence, anger and intimidation most certainly have not factually been on the "union" anti-Walker side.
