Tea Party Leaders to Scott Walker: Stand Strong
By Adam Waldeck on February 23, 2011 5:50 AM
In the political fight for fiscal responsibility and balanced budgets, there is no city more important in America right now than Madison, Wisconsin.
While merely trying to balance his budget and level the playing field between taxpayers and government employee unions, Governor Scott Walker has found himself maligned and attacked.
Whereas the principles and policies that he is fighting for are one in the same with the tea party movement, we decided to work with leaders from around the country to send him a letter of support and encouragement.
Below is the result – crafted and signed by leaders from over 50 tea party, 912 and grassroots groups from California to New Hampshire.

I find much to fault unions for, but this blatant partisan political fight against them is a travesty. On a more even-handed note, I say damn the unions and double-danm Scott walker.
Lou, This is not a battle of unions vs the people. This is about the sovereignty of the United States of America. Union membership in private industry is by choice. It is private industry that pay. In government, it is I who pay the benefits. If I have a problem with the govt, I can fire them/vote them out. The unions are a stumbling block. To give into the demands of the unions (which comes out of my pocket), the govt raises my taxes and I go broke. Sorry Lou, but the unions pose a giant security risk. I do believe in barganing at the table with private industry, which, unions by the way have bankrupted many and discouraged many business from hiring workers. I do not believe that unions have a place in government at all. For your information, unions are collectivists. The people in the USA, by Constitution, are Individualists. Do a search on Collectivism vs Individualism. Unions are Socialists by nature. Scott Walker is a hero fighting for our sovereignty.
