Americans for Prosperity Launches Bus Tour Across Wisconsin: “Stand Against Spending - Stand With Walker”

This is an urgent appeal to those citizens who are opposed to Governor Walker's budget repair bill and now his budget bill for 2011-2013, WE NEED YOUR HELP! WE NEED COUNTER-PROTESTERS AT EACH OF THESE EVENTS!

If we DO NOT counter these appearances, Americans for Prosperity will continue to spread the lies of Governor Scott Walker.

Americans for Prosperity today announced the launch of its “Stand Against Spending - Stand With Walker” bus tour across Wisconsin, March 3-6, to stand against out-of-control state spending by showing continued support for Governor Walker’s commonsense reform to tackle the state’s nearly $4 billion deficit.

“While union protestors continue to rally on the taxpayer’s dime and opposing groups attempt to stifle public debate, Americans for Prosperity will not be intimidated,” said Americans for Prosperity President Tim Phillips. “We will continue to take a firm stand against wasteful government spending and support responsible economic policies like Governor Walker’s.”

The tour will start in Kenosha on Thursday, March 3 and end in Madison on Sunday, March 6, traveling to 10 Wisconsin cities. A complete schedule of events is below.

Photo opportunity: Activists will take pictures in front of the “Stand Against Spending - Stand With Walker” bus and send photo postcards to their runaway legislators, urging them to put an end to Wisconsin’s out-of-control state spending and to stand with Walker on commonsense spending reforms.

  1. I feel very sad that there is no event planned for Madison on either Saturday March 5 or Sunday March 6. There are so many people that want to continue this fight at the capitol. This makes me sad.

  2. If the Egyptian people can bring down a dictator after 30 years of police state rule, why can’t state employee unions bring down this Governor or at least start a Governor recall effort. This is the United States of America, re-learn how to do it yourself.

    Poll: Americans favor union bargaining rights, By Judy Keen and Dennis Cauchon, USA TODAYUpdated 2/23/2011 2:00:45 PM, MADISON, Wis. —
    Americans strongly oppose laws taking away the collective bargaining power of public employee unions, according to a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll. The poll found 61% would oppose a law in their state similar to such a proposal in Wisconsin, compared with 33% who would favor such a law.
