Restoring Common Sense Rally – 02/26/11

Todd Akin was kind enough to make a FIVE HOUR round trip from the Lincoln Days gathering in Springfield, MO to speak to the patriots at the Restoring Common Sense Rally:

 

 

 

Restoring Common Sense Rally – 02/26/11

In Jefferson City, MO, on February 26th, 2011, hundreds of patriots gathered to stand up to the Public Sector Union employees continued assault on the Taxpayers’ wallets.

At the behest of Communist 9/11 Truther Van Jones, Corruptocrat in Chief Barack Obama, and George Soros’ Leftist MoveOn.org, hippies from across the nation gathered at State Capitols to protest the actions by the Governor and Legislature of Wisconsin.  In Missouri… …that don’t play!

Tea Partiers and Conservatives from across the state descended on the State Capitol FRONT steps (with permit in hand) to let the Union Thugs know that Missouri will be a Right-To-Work State, we won’t stay at home, we won’t shut up, and we won’t bend to the will of corrupt Public Sector Unions and their State Run Media.

Here Jim Hoft, the Gateway Pundit, makes a ‘Stand for Freedom’:

“We will not be threatened!  We will not hide!  We will not cower!  We are not afraid!  Because we are not alone!”

Koch Derangement Syndrome and a new era of civility was on display on the ‘Left’ side of the Capitol:

 

Challenging Governor Walker

AFP launched a website called Stand With Walker in support of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.

“Americans for Prosperity today launched www.StandwithWalker.com where citizen activists from across the country can show support for Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s common sense reform to end union collective bargaining and tackle the state’s nearly $4 billion deficit.”

I’ve never seen the $4 Billion figure, but I’ve seen $3.12 Billion over the next two years. Please Stand with Scott Walker as this issue and its resolution will be a turning point for America – towards freedom or further entrenched socialism.

The Rockin’ Conservative could not agree more that it is time for the States to deal strongly with people – be it unions, welfare recipients, or other administrative / elected personnel – who make their living off the taxpayer’s dollars.

Subsisting on the taxpayer’s dime is a CHOICE.  If you want to be a teacher and don’t want to work for the State, teach at a parochial or private school.  If you want to take the taxpayers money because you are down on your luck, prove that you’re worthy by submitting to drug testing.  If you want to serve your State or Country as an elected official or other administrator, don’t plan on getting rich!  Plan on earning what the average American earns, plan on providing for your retirement like the average American, and plan on providing for your healthcare like the average American.

But, in order to expect the unions and others to make concessions, we must have expectations of the Republican leadership of Wisconsin.

Thus, we must Challenge Governor Scott Walker and the Republicans in the State Capitol to support at least a 5% reduction (preferably 10%) in salaries and benefits of all State Representatives, State Senators, the Governor himself, and all employees/bureaucrats at the State Capitol.

If you believe the unions should sacrifice, so should you!

 

Wisconsin: Firing Photos

As usual, Michelle Malkin quickly finds the hypocrisy of the left in their nationwide support for the Wisconsin Public Employees Unions.  While protesting to prevent the state of Wisconsin from requiring public employees to contribute to their pensions and health care, SEIU, the thuggery arm of OFA, is requiring their employees in New York to do just that:

“Meanwhile, union leaders elsewhere are quietly forcing their low-wage members to share the sacrifice in order to preserve teetering health funds. In New York state, Skidmore College campus janitors, dining service workers and other maintenance employees received late notice from the SEIU that 4.15 percent of their gross earnings will now be deducted from their paychecks to cover the cost of the health plan provided through the behemoth 1199 SEIU Greater New York Benefit Fund. (If the name sounds familiar, it’s because this is one of several privileged SEIU affiliates that has received an Obamacare waiver.)”

Beyond that hypocrisy, many of the protesters have called in sick to their taxpayer funded jobs to go to the Wisconsin State Capitol to join in on this protest.  They lied to their supervisors.

What happens if I lie to my supervisor?  Lie to my boss?

I have a simple request for the Governor of Wisconsin and any other state that may find themselves on the receiving end of such a sick-out.

Will you please get all the photos and video you can of the attendees of the sick-out, find out who they are, and FIRE THEM?!?!  Fire Them!

Much like many who work for they taxpayers (Congressmen / Presidents), for some reason, these State Employees think that they can live by different rules than I do.

 

 

 

If I call in sick to go to a Political Rally, I should be fired.  So should they!
