MARCH 10TH - WEAR BLACK TODAY!

Wisconsin's Republican state senators held a committee to pass a bill late Wednesday night. It started as a "budget repair bill" but was passed without any language in it besides anti-union legislation. Wisconsin's governor, Scott Walker, has stayed true to his word to shove the bill down Wisconsin's throat, no matter how many thousands of protestors show up at his doorstep. Two unions that supported him during his election now won't even help him clean out his capitol - the Madison Police and Dane County Sheriff will not help evacuate protestors.

Mr. Walker, you are an elected official of the great state of Wisconsin. Your oath as an Eagle Scout asks you to "Help other people at all times." And the Wisconsin constitution states, "All people are born equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights ... to secure these rights, governments are instituted, DERIVING THEIR POWERS FROM THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED."

Gov. Walker, you are not helping nor are you respecting the rights of the people and you no longer have the consent of the governed.

PLEASE WEAR BLACK ON THURSDAY, MARCH 10TH AND/OR FRIDAY, MARCH 11TH IN SUPPORT OF WISCONSIN MIDDLE CLASS WORKERS, UNIONS, AND THE STRONG HISTORY OF WISCONSIN.

You may not agree with all that I believe, but I know you believe in education, the strength of middle class workers, and the decency and rights of all people. Thank you.
