   OT already, gleeped from a short perusal of the web:

   And yes, please support those who are standing up to the parasite public labor unions, who are in a snit because we selfish bastards refuse to donate both kidneys.

   Great PSA Jeff. I’ll be contacting Mr. Kasich’s office very shortly.

   Unfortunately, I live in Georgia, where most of the cheerleading for huge school spending comes not from the relatively toothless teachers union, but from the chambers of commerce and the local newspapers.

   Maybe if some of these other states break their unions and try basing education on assumptions other than “if you spend it, they will learn,” maybe just maybe the civic-minded morons here in Georgia will take the hint.

   Any bets on whether Jerry Brown will be attempting to similarly rein in the SEIU and their ilk in California? I’m giving 50-to-1 against…

   The phone number to Gov.Haslam (R, possible RINO) works. I’m certain the young lady who answered the phone is a Union member; she wasn’t thrilled with my message of support for Gov. Walker, and my assurance that if this trouble came to Tennessee I would support Haslam IF he opposed the government unions.

   “O Kay, I’ll let him know “.

   Now, President Obama is weighing in to support the unions and the national Democrats’ Organizing for America is helping to coordinate the union protest. The left-media industrial complex will give the unions cover to allow maximum pressure on the brave GOP Senators. Just a few years ago, all of this would have been sufficient for the unions to carry the day. But no longer.

   Now there is us.

   We have to win this fight. The Democrats are a wholly unserious party–they just had a press conference on Capitol Hill against spending cuts with a cartoon Aardvark. The GOP is better, but it is a bit like the shell-shocked soldier returning to the trenches. Yes, it is back in the fight, but it is a bit shaky and uncertain. It needs cover and support. When a politician like Governor Walker bravely steps out of the trench, he needs us to have his back. If we do, others will join him.

   Tomorrow there is a rally of patriots in Madison, organized by the outstanding American Majority. Get there if you can. Make a phone call or send a note of support. Do anything…but Do Something.

   As an American President once said, “we are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”

    Got my note in to Daniels.

    And speaking of California, if WI, IN, OH, NJ, etc., manage to battle through the unions, make the sacrifices necessary to right their ships, how willing do you bet they’re going to be to bail out California when they’re either unable or unwilling to do the hard work?
