Limbaugh Says...

From here. (Do the click).

Rush Limbaugh claimed that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's proposed union-busting bill is designed to "save union jobs" from a budget crisis that would necessitate layoffs.
*In reality, the parts of the bill restricting collective bargaining would not affect Wisconsin's budget shortfall.

Limbaugh Denies Walker's Bill Is Anti-Union, Falsely Calls It "Budget Reform"

• Limbaugh: "This Is Not Anti-Union Legislation, This Is Budget Reform."
  
  • From the February 23 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
    

Limbaugh Falsely Claims Walker Campaigned On Collective Bargaining Cut

• Limbaugh: "It's What He Campaigned On."
  
  • From the February 23 edition of Limbaugh's radio show
    
    
    

• PolitiFact: Walker Did Not Campaign On Budget Repair Plan.
  
  • On February 22, PolitiFact Wisconsin gave a "false" rating to Walker's claim that he campaigned on his budget proposals, including curtailing collective bargaining:

Gee kids-
If Rush says it's so, then it MUST be true, right? <--- That is sarcasm.

Also if you do the top "mediamatters" click, it has a video, if you are interested.
Politifact (above) has it's own clickable link.

Wisconsin- From a Teachers Perpective..

To add to my previous article -
This is copied from a Forbes article (with reference to the author in my blog). as the same message as above, from within the comments section.

As the author of the referred article replies to every comment, this teacher was given high praise from him after stating the following...

I would like to dispute the claims that people don’t view state workers’ pensions as “gifts.”

I am a teacher in Wisconsin and by my own father, my high-school friends, and other people I have held dear to me I have been called the following told that am sucking at the private teat, getting unfair gifts on the back of the tax payers, a greedy pig wanting more special treatment and many more hurtful words.

Just today, DAYS after the unions conceded to the Gov’s economic demands, I saw a very inflammatory anti-union ad on TV claiming that the “public workers have special treatment gifted with benefits and pensions far better than the private sector.”

Fine you can say I’m overpaid, but there are a lot of poor people in Wisconsin right now and it is not fair for the Republicans and anti-unionists to use this rhetoric to split the middle class in half to get their big business agenda.

“Give me liberty or give me death–or at least make sure my neighbor can’t have it either…”

Ms Mary Matteson is a teacher-
And I believe one I would have loved for my children to have had.

By now, we all must know that this whole thing applies not only to our teachers-
Why is it that they are (seemingly) the only ones being singled out?

I have never met a rich teacher have you?  (On the other hand I know plenty of semi-rich babysitters)...
Hmmm? Somebody obviously has the wrong title.

My heart and soul goes out to ALL teachers- I only wish there could be more like Ms Matteson!

May all of our union brothers and sisters stick together until they win!

XOXO,
Me
