THE RAWSON COMPANY 2011
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But everyone is not entitled to their own facts.
Laugh often, long and loud... Laugh until you gasp for breath.
And if you have friends who make you laugh, spend lots of time with them.
In response to Rep. Thiesfeldt’s article, anyone who would call the last 100 days successful has not paid attention, is hearing but not listening. There’s been 10,000 or more people protesting in the street, 8 politicians in recall, the integrity of the governor’s office called into question, the legality and integrity of a major state election questioned, attempts to pass legislation that have drained public service of its experience and education to the point where the governor is pleading with the employees not to go. The reversal of the uninsured motorist law will now have people paying the same money for less insurance coverage. A single developer now can build on and destroy wetlands. The new bill attempts to remove funding from recycling and Senior Care programs, both of which are recognized in the country for their excellence. Wisconsin was the birthplace of environmental protections. It appears that Wisconsin government has now taken aim at the middle class and the under-priviledged and has closed the door on those sectors with a bill requiring ID’s to vote.
If you are a mega-company, campaign contributor, millionaire, or owner of a large multi-million dollar company, then Wisconsin is open for business and having a party, throwing confetti, and laughing all the way to the bank.
According to experts, property taxes will go up, necessities will escalate in price, and all around me people are being laid off from their jobs.
Where are the promised jobs and at what wages?
Even a rat knows when to leave a sinking ship.
I love Wisconsin and I am staying. I vow to fight and I am the middle class.
