Fellow Michiganders (and honorary Michiganders around the world):

The call has gone out and I'm asking everyone who can to take Wednesday off and head to the State Capitol in Lansing to protest the cruel and downright frightening legislation currently being jammed down our throats.

What is most shocking to many is that the new governor, who ran against the Tea Party and defeated the right wing of his party in the primaries -- and then ran in the general election as "just a nerd from Ann Arbor" who was a moderate, not an ideologue -- has pulled off one of the biggest Jekyll and Hyde ruses I've ever seen in electoral politics.

Governor Snyder, once elected, yanked off his nice-guy mask to reveal that he is in fact a multi-millionaire hell-bent on destroying our state and turning it over to his buddies from Wall Street.

In just 8 short weeks he has:

* Gotten the House and Senate to pass bills giving him "Emergency Management" powers such as the ability to appoint a corporation or a CEO who could literally dissolve town governments or school boards, fire the elected officials, nullify any local law and run your local governmental entity. That company then would have the power to immediately declare all collective bargaining contracts null and void.

* Proposed giving business a whopping 86% tax cut while raising personal taxes by 31%! And much of that tax hike he believes should be shouldered by -- I kid you not -- senior citizens and the poor! He says these two groups have not been "sharing the sacrifice" the rest of us have been burdened with. So his budget proposes a $1.8 billion tax CUT for business and a $1.75 billion tax INCREASE for the rest of us, much of it from the poor, seniors and working people -- even though the top 1% in Michigan ALREADY pay a lower state tax rate than everyone else does!

* Together with the legislature, introduced over 40 anti-labor bills in just the first two months of this session! They have wasted no time and have caught most people off guard. Much of this is being rushed through right now before you have a chance to raise your voice in objection.

These actions are breathtaking when you realize they will drive our already battered state straight into the ground. What we needed right now was an inspiring leader to help us reinvent Michigan and to find creative ways to create new jobs and lift us out of our economic depression. The rest of the country may call what they're experiencing the "Great Recession," but few argue that Michigan is suffering a "one-state Depression."

I know many of you are filled with a great sense of despair and a justifiable loss of hope these days in Michigan. But you must not let things get even worse. You must stand up against these Draconian measures and this outrageous attempt to rip our democratic rights from us by turning our state over to well-paid hacks from Wall Street and corporate America. They see our state as one big fire sale -- and they are licking their chops to get their hands on what is still a state rich in natural resources and industrial infrastructure.

Please show up at noon on Wednesday for our first mega-rally against this insanity. Hundreds of groups are already organizing car pools and buses. You can right now just declare yourself an organizer and get your friends and neighbors committed to being in Lansing. If ever there were a day to call in sick, Wednesday is it (because this IS sick). Students, if ever there were a day to cut class and become a participant in your democracy, Wednesday is it. This event needs to be HUGE -- and I believe it will be if you will simply be there and take a stand.

Much attention has been paid to Wisconsin in recent weeks. Well, they got nothing on what's going on here in Michigan. Rick Snyder is Scott Walker on steroids. There's never been what even the AARP calls "an all-out attack" like this on us. Trust me, you will rue the day you sat home and did nothing while thieves posing as politicians stole your Great Lakes State from you.

Don't let it happen. Be at the Capitol by noon on Wednesday for the largest demonstration the state has ever seen.

Go Spartans! Go Wolverines! Go Everyone Else In Between!
Yours,
Michael Moore

As many of you already know conservative Tea Party patriots have moles all over the liberal communist community. Thanks to these moles we are always informed as to what they are doing. Here is a planned protest. Please take the time to let everyone know what they are planning on doing here in Michigan. These Douchbaggers want to take money from the tax payers so they can fill their pockets.

I'm sure there will be many tinfoil hat idiots everywhere. These Douchbaggers are trying to intimidate us by bringing Cairo to Michigan. We will bring some Tokyo to their anti-government protest. These Douchbaggers want our money. Their greed has caused them to attack private and public property as well as American citizens. If you go as an counter protester be careful. We have seen these protesters get violent in the other States they are in.

Teachers Union Leader Calls WI a Revolution; Wants to Learn From Socialists; Says Being Republican a Pathology, Evil

More proof that these unions are pushing for socialism. The union members need to wake up and realize that the Wisconsin bill gives the members more rights not less. The members have the right to not pay union dues if they so choose. This shouldn't be a problem since the unions tell us how great they are. And since when is it the governments job to collect union dues for the union? Why should my tax dollars go to the collection and distribution of union dues? If the unions want their money they should collect it. And if the unions are so great, they should have no problem collection 100% of their dues. The unions have a monopoly over the tax payers. They have too much power over our government and the union members. This is a free country. Forced dues and government collections isn't American. The union members better wake up and realize what this union melt down is all about. It's about control. The unions want to control it's members and the government. It's time to tell these unions to spend some of their $billions on membership rather then using it to control a political Party. Gov. Walker is doing what is best for union members. It's about time unions worked for the money they get from their membership. It's about time the members have control of the unions, instead of the unions taking control over the union members.

Wisconsin Protesters Are Using Children To Chant, Creepy

As Wisconsin and others States are having their union melt down we are seeing that these same unions have no problem using school children as free protest labor. The sad thing is those children will have to pay for what those unions get. I would put anything past these greedy unions. If these unions get their way they will own us tax payers. We will be working for them and their greedy pensions.

Michigan Unions Use Astro-Turf Protests to Intimidate Businesses

From the Blaze: This is an old story that just wont go away. That's because the unions are still using their brand of anti-business threats and intimidation. These same union hire people at minimum wage to stand at the polls on election day. The union doesn't pay overt minimum wage or give any benefits. Talk about hypocracy.


Imagine that you are a business owner and the local union demands that you reveal the private payroll data of your 120 non-union employees within a week.  If you choose not to answer this demand, the union will consider you to be obviously “paying substandard wages and benefits.”
In addition to that proclamation from the Union, your customers will be notified by mail that a labor dispute exists between the union and your company and that any job sites where you have contract to perform work will be subjected to protests in the form of ‘bannering’ and the distribution of leaflets.
Got it?

• The union has targeted a non-union business.
• They demand that the business allow the union to examine private payroll records, or else.
• Customers of the business are also targeted with on-site protests with banners and picket lines (often staffed with non-union day labor being paid less than union wages and not afforded health benefits).

This has happened, and in fact is an ongoing story.
The Mackinac Center for Public Policy, has brought to light the attempted strong-arm tactics of the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters in a story by Ken Braun.
Video #1 offers the overview of the story:

Video #2 backs up the charge that the Carpenters Union is using astro-turf tactics, hiring non-union day laborers, paying these workers less than union wages and not offering benefits.

The unions should note that the unemployment rate in Michigan (from where this story originates) is still sitting at 11.3%, almost 2 1/2 points higher than the national average.

According to a statistic quoted in the Mackinac Center piece, more than 78% of the carpenters in Michigan are non-union workers, and the company under attack claims their 120 employees have not complained about wages, benefits or employer treatment. This appears to be nothing more than union bullying.

Recall the Wisconsin 14: Pass It On

It's time to recall the Wisconsin 14 Democrats that held up democracy in order to bully their way past the will of the voters in Wisconsin. Go to www.facebook.com/RecallWI14 . We can play this same game. Send this facebook page to all your friends and blogs. These unions and liberals are playing for keeps. If they win this it will cost us all money. Do you want to dig deeper in your pocket at tax time to give into the unions that are literally destroying our country? Do you want to give those unions that much power over you and you government? We need to get the word out now. This may be in Wisconsin right now but it is coming to a State near you soon.

 

I think these same public sector unions are forgetting that it was the taxpayers that bailed them out with the stimulus bill. They got their money and security when we added to our national debt to secure their jobs,pensions and benefits. These same unions also got an exemption from paying the obamacare "Cadillac tax" like a protected class. We didn't get that special treatment. I'm getting sick of the unions getting treated as a protected elite class of workers. We all must make cuts and pay taxes. The unions are not above that. But in reality they think they are because they own the Democratic Party. And the Democratic Party pays up with our tax dollars.

 

That is why we must limit the collective bargaining of these public sector unions. If we don't they will keep taking from the tax payers.

Bill Kristol on Obama: How Can You Say 'Qaddafi Must Go' and Sit Back and Do Nothing?

Bill Kristol slammed Obama's cowardice and indecisiveness on Libya today:
How can you say "Qaddafi must go" and sit back and do nothing?

This is why no one is listening to Obama and the Democratic Party any more. They say one thing while doing the opposite. Only a total fool would believe what these snake oil salesmen are selling.

It just goes to show you that this president incompotent. He is clueless on what he is doing. That or he is just a lieing POS. You chose.

Watch This Video And Then Tell Me That Unions Are Great

Montage Documenting Union Violence and Racism against the Tea Party and Walker Supporters WARNING THIS IS VIDEO OF UNIONS.

Send this video to everyone you know and post it on your blog. We need to see who is asking us to reach into our pockets and pay them. Don't you feel better knowing that these same union members have a monopoly over us? Do you really want these unions in control? You have seen the pictures of the damage they have done to our public property haven't you? See these unions have no problem destroying things and making our public property their private pigsty. We are in a massive fiscal problem in almost every state in the union. These states wont get a bailout like they got from the failed stimulus bill.

In fact the unions should be happy since we added to our national debt to pay off the public unions. We put our kids in debt so that the unions wouldn't have to make major cuts. See how they thank us and our children? Those same children that are going to get the bill for the public union bailout stimulus are also getting a third rate education by those public union teachers.

I'm not taking another penny out of my pocket to keep the fat cat public unions in greed. If the left-wing wants these public unions to keep on keeping on then they can pay for it out of the goodness of their liberal hearts. But that is the problem. The liberals goodness goes away real fast when they have to reach into their own pockets. Anyone can be generous with other peoples money.

I'd like to see these mops at these anti-taxpayer protests pass the hat around so we can see how much is in it at the end of the day. How do you think the unions and liberals have portrayed themselves?

Jesse Jackson: Scott Walker Pushing a 'Confederate

 

Liberals say the dumbest things. This is just more proof that liberalism may be a mental illness. The way the unions keep saying that Republicans and Tea Partiers are trying to kill the middle class and minorities. You have to laugh at these sausages.

Why Isn't Obama and the Democratic Party Condemning the Violent Rhetoric Coming From The Unions and OFA?

We're still waiting for President Obama to condemn the violent rhetoric coming from the union bosses and Organizing for America. I think people need to start pointing this fact out to their friends and family. Or the guy at the pump bitching about gas prices.

We all know this isn't going to happen so we should feel free to point out the hypocrisy,double standards,violence and destruction cause by these left-wing organizations. If you want to know what bothers liberals just look at their own talking points and use them against them. You have to have fun with these liberals, they beg for it.

When the liberals start using the Japan earthquake to shut down future nuclear energy debates here in this country. Remind them that under their idiotic logic they should shut down all thoughts of high speed rail for what happened in Japan. It's OK to point and laugh at them when you point out how mental their thinking is. Don't forget to point out that we should throw out liberal ideology because it's failures. But they never use their illogical logic on themselves. That is what "social justice" is for. Without "social justice" they're held by the same standards as everyone else. The truth has no agenda.

Video: Police detain a union operative in Wisconsin for vandalism

The president has called for a new civility. One union operative in Madison, Wisconsin didn't get the message as the video shows.

As one person on the video says, union activists are not nice people.
