Scott Walker's Huge Victory! Obama's Unions Enraged, Planning More Attacks

March 10, 2011

Dear Newsmax Reader:

We’ve just won a huge victory in Wisconsin!

The GOP Senate simply outsmarted Obama’s bloated public unions.

In a historic vote last night, the Wisconsin Senate approved the most critical part of Governor Scott Walker’s budget repair bill.

By eliminating collective bargaining over benefits, Obama’s bloated public employee unions no longer have absolute power to hold taxpayers hostage.

No longer will Wisconsin’s liberal politicians award lavish pension and health benefit packages to their union cronies in exchange for a mother-load of campaign cash and votes.

What happened?

The Wisconsin Senate requires a quorum to vote on any bill that spends money. This is how the 14 AWOL senators shamefully managed to block a vote on Scott Walker’s budget-repair bill.

So Republicans simply stripped the non-fiscal portion off of the bill. The Senate then voted on it as a stand-alone measure, one that doesn’t spend money!

This is a huge victory not only for Wisconsin, but for all of America.

Robert Reich, who served as President Clinton’s Labor Secretary, admits Wisconsin will reverberate nationwide.

He says: “I wouldn’t be surprised if governors in New Jersey … and also in Indiana and other Midwestern states – where you have Republican governors, who believe they are in the ascendancy – take some courage from all of this.â€

There already have been death threats against Repub legislators in Wisconsin.

The following is a shocking, scary e-mail sent to Wisconsin GOP senators last night at around 9:30 pm, shortly after the Senate passed an anti-union bill. Not only does the e-mail threaten the senators with death, but it also vows “your familes [sic] will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks.â€
