Top Walker aide Archer takes leave of absence - JSOnline
We have know for many months that Governor Scott Walker lacks "integrity" on top of many other qualities, but now things are beginning to look very fishy in his Administration. Governor Scott Walker's Administration is presently connected to a major "John Doe" investigation.

13 protesters arrested, carried out of Capitol rotunda - JSOnline
Shame on Governor Scott Walker and Republican Leaders, Senator Scott Fitzgerald and Representative Jeff Fitzgerald for creating such frustration amongst Wisconsinites. These protesters ARE NOT criminals, yet the present Wisconsin Republican leadership creates the environment to fuel the frsutration and anger and then uses the law enforcement power to make these victims of the repeated abuse look like criminals.
Cheif Tubbs and the Capitol Police Officers are doing what we the taxpayers hired them to do, enforce laws, but it is unfortunate that they have to follow the almost criminal instructions of the Wisconsin Republican leadership.

Messmer school locks damaged hours before Walker's visit - JSOnline
So the assumption is made that "protesters" damaged the schools locks. There is one proven fact in Wisconsin that everyone seems to forget, Governor Scott Walker admitted in a phone conversation with a David Koch imposter that he had considered planting instigators of violence into protest crowds at the capitol. Could Governor Scott Walker not have planted a vandal to cause damage to the school in order for the media to report that "protesters" caused this unfortunate damage? It is worth considering.

Prosser admits touching Bradley's neck; she says she suffered no harm - JSOnline
Justice Prosser admits "touching" Justice Bradley's neck. The dictionary describes "touching" as; adj. Eliciting or capable of eliciting sympathy or tenderness., prep. Concerning; about. Now this begs that million dollar question; was he "violenting" assaulting Justice Bradley or was he "sexually" assaulting" Justice Bradley?
The bottom-line here is; Justice Prosser should not be "touching" any person unless the "touching" is invited by the other person. There also should have been NO INCIDENT that he was engaged in that he should have to admit he "touched" her in the neck area. Period! I for one have lost my respect for Justice David Prosser and actually I lost that respect with his tirade of how he addressed Chief Justice Abrahamson in the past.
I am not so certain if a recall of Justice Prosser would be successful or if voters of Wisconsin would want to use up precious resources to make an effort to have him recalled, but one thing seems very clear to me, Justice David Prosser is no longer worthy of wearing the robe of one of the Wisconsin Supreme Court Justices. He should retire or resign from office, but he most likely will not make that decision on his own.

Chris Rickert: Who said life is supposed to be fair?
While this author does, in my opinion, a good job at outlining how the lawsuit filed by the WSEU, on behalf of its "members" originated and why it was introduced to the courts. What the author of this article fails to observe or to point out, is that an "agreement" was reached between the "employees" and the "employer" regarding the application of furlough days. This "agreement" called for uniformity in the application of furlough days, essentially meaning no "employee" will receive any different treatment as a result of these furlough days, than any other "employee" represented by any other Union in the State of Wisconsin.
Unfortunately, Mr. Rickert is attemtping to imply in his article that "employees" represented by the WSEU are not being fair to the taxpayers, again forgetting that these union members are taxpeyers as well, and are now just being little children crying over the fact that Daddy gave something to Billy and I want it to.
Mr. Rickert, thank you for the clarity, but you hit a foul ball when you changed the tone of your article to that of state employees represented by the WSEU are now whining. State employees represented by the WSEU and all other Unions for that matter are taxpayers as well and all that is being asked for in this lawsuit that you reference is fairness. It is that simple, state employees represented by the WSEU want fairness. Soemthing that they have not witnessed or felt under the Scott Walker Administration.

Here is Wisconsin we are seeing firsthand that it is the blood of Republicans, to lie, not tell the truth, mislead a person's way of thinking... Nicely written opinion though.

Thank you AFSCME Local's 171, 383, 1449, 2412 & Others
Yesterday was a very active day all across Wisconsin with AFSCME members wearing AFSCME green to work, at home and in their communities.
In addition, some local unions like Local's 171 and 2412 at the University of Wisconsin Madison Campus fired members up by providing them with great grilled brats and other food and then marched everyone to the State Capitol for a huge rally.
Local's 383 and 1449 continued their quest of pushing for membership signup's so that our FIGHT CAN CONTINUE. At Volk Field, more than two-dozen state employees attended a Union Information Update and Membership Signup session. The session was actually consumed by the membership who seemed to have taken over the session and many were voicing their call to fellow co-workers present that they needed to REJOIN THE FIGHT. These members actually stayed for more than two-hours after work, enjoyed pizza and soda pop and then began the process of REJOINING THE FIGHT.
Absolutely great job yesterday and a special thanks to Local's 171 & 2412 for their activity in Madison and Local's 383 and 1449 and many others around the state that conducted membership drives.
It is getting apparent everyday, AFSCME members are angry and now their paychecks are smaller and in many cases, "painfully" smaller. but they will not take this lying down and they want to REJOIN THE FIGHT!
Thank you to Everyone!

This Labor Day we need protest marches rather than parades - CSMonitor.com
There is a very reasonable point being made by the writer of this article. We have seen first-hand here in Wisconsin that Labor Day truly is not something to celebrate, it is a time to continue to protest the atrocities that Wisconsin Republicans are doing to Wisconsin's working families.

Our view: Appointment smacks of cronyism
This is a very unusual editorial from a newspaper that traditionally leans to the conservative side. Could it be that Scott Walker is so out of bounds that he is leaving potential supporters behind and/or having them question his decisions and actions? We think so, Scott Walker is wrong at just about every corner he turns and some in the media are beginning to see just that.

WisPolitics.com: Sauk Co. DA Barrett: Letter to Dane Co. Judge Foust and DA Ozanne re: Supreme Court investigation
This seems to be a shame. Someone did not tell the truth. Either Justice Anne Walsh Bradley was grabbed around the throat area by Justice David Prosser or she was not. Well, I guess we all have to remember, we were not there when this alleged event took place and an investigation by law enforcement is all we have to reply on and have to accept.
One thing still seems to exist though, even though no charges will be filed in this incident, is that Justice David Prosser seems to have some serious anger issues and seems to appear to be unable to maintain his professionalism as one of our state's supreme justices.
Justice David Prosser will not resign his 10-year elected seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court and a recall, at least in my eyes, is not a viable option for this seat. So the question lingers within the Wisconsin Supreme Court, how does the Court maintain safety for other jurists from the explosive and in some instances, violent actions of Justice David Prosser?

WisPolitics.com: DC Wrap: Johnson says Social Security should be easy entitlement fix
U.S. Senator Johnson is a millionaire. He is calling for changes to social security that address raising the retirement age and the benefits provided and he says no one wants to talk about those things.
What he IS NOT talking about and the rich DO NOT want to talk about is raising the income cap for contributing to social security. As it stands right now, social security taxes are paid on ONLY the first $104,000, or a figure in that area, of income. Millionaire's like Sen. Johnson benefit greatly from that cap. Raising that cap would greatly enhance, if not eliminate altogether, any concerns with social security solvency. Ask U.S. Senator Johnson WHY HE WILL NOT talk about that reform to strengthen social security for decades to come.

State releases list of top financial scams
The ONLY financial scam that failed to make the top ten list or the list at all, was Scott Walker's financial scam of screaming that Wisconsin was headed for financial disaster if he did not take away collective bargaining from public employees. Lets not forget that he admitted at a U.S Congressional Hearing that the stripping of collective bargaining rights from public employees in Wisconsin had nothing to do with the money. It was that testimony that brought truth to one of the largest financial scam's in Wisconsin history.

WisPolitics.com: Rep. Richards, Sen. Erpenbach: Study shows Wisconsin better off with health care reform
The Republicans, both on the State and Federal level have for decades danced around the issue of Health Care Reform and yet in today's world, even the Walker Administration, (no surprise here) do not want to address the issue. Today's Republicans are clearly in support of society's elite and because of that they do not need health insurance reform. They could care less if the less fortunate have affordable health care.

Another Round in State's War With Unions
Your Union may no longer have collective bargaining, but it has the will, the stamina and the resources to take on the Walker Administration in the courts. Scott Walker's courtroom battle history with AFSCME District Council 48 while he was Milwaukee County Executive proved daunting for Walker as he lost every legal battle to AFSCME District Council 48, to date. AFSCME Council 24 hopes for much of the same.

AFL-CIO launching "super labor PAC" - CBS News
AFSCME Council 24 SEPAC Note: As all of you have witnessed and felt, firsthand, here in Wisconsin and now in several states across America, labor unions are fighting for their very existence to continue their tradition of protecting and improving the lives of organized workers and non-organized workers.
That fight, while it has been at the "bargaining" table and in the political arena in the past is now clearly shifting strongly to the political arena. Labor unions need to now take the fight for workers rights and dignity to everyone in the political arena. This means now spending and receiving political funds outside of the union membership.
Because Federal and Wisconsin State Laws DO NOT permit the use of union dues money for political activity, a strong Union needs to create a "Super-PAC". Here in Wisconsin you saw the absolute effectiveness of "We Are Wisconsin" a coalition of major unions and other special interest organizations that engaged to a tremendous extent in the nine recall elections.
As public employees we are in a position to "elect" our bosses. We have learned our lesson about allowing our political beliefs make the choice for us at the ballot box. We now know, more than ever, we must vote for candidates that are truthful to our issues and that promise the working families that they will fight everyday while in office to protect them in the workplace and to provide them with the financial needs to live comfortably and safely.
If our Union is to make change from the destruction that Scott Walker and other Wisconsin Republicans have done in just eight short months, then WE ALL need to start by "REJOINING THE FIGHT" and collectively we need to speak out and push back against those elected officials who strive to diminish the standing of public employees.
It is being said, "STAND UP, SIGN UP & SPEAK OUT!" Defy Scott Walker and other Wisconsin Republicans by recommitting to your Union. The Union is nothing more than the "collective" voice of many. A Union IS NOT STRONG by a single leader, a Union IS STRONG by the collective voice of many...

Wisconsin governor names former legislator as new railroad commissioner | The Republic
Remember former Democratic State Senator Jeff Plale, the "non-democrat"? His action against your tentative state employee contract has now landed him two, not one, decent wage paying jobs within the Walker Administration. Of course he is only working one job, but it is the point that he is earning much more in state wages now then if he had remained a state senator.

Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission drafts bargaining rules
AFSCME Council 24 SEPAC Note: The rules established by Scott Walker's anti-collective bargaining law pertain ONLY to those Unions that wish to be certified as the bargaining agent for a specific group of employees. Because the anti-collective bargaining law removed collective bargaining from most public employees and all state employees represented by AFSCME Council 24 except for wages, capped by the CPI, your Union will remain as your Union Representative, but we will not seek certification or follow the "unconstitutional" Walker Rules. WE ARE NOT REQUIRED TO FOLLOW THESE RULES in order to still effectively be the representative of "dues-paying" members as it relates to all other matters outside of negotiations for wages.
Please contact your local union president or Council 24 Field Staff Representative with any questions.

Wisconsin recall sparked labor-community coalition
A huge thank you to AFSCME Local 82 President Gilbert Johnson for his and his memberships work in building a community coalition to fight for a specific cause. In this case, it was the recall of a state senator who was blatantly demonizing public employees and economically destroying public employees, lower income and seniors in Wisconsin.
In Prairie du Chien, AFSCME Local 903 President Adam Sutter and his local union membership said they had enough with the attacks on them and seeing similar classes of people in their community being depressed by Scott Walker and his followers and they too, stepped forward and called for and created a community-wide coalition that worked tirelessly for many weeks to do their part to change the face of senate representation.
AFSCME Local Unions can be a huge part of community coalitions and together can accomplish improvements for a community, wether it be the size of Milwaukee or as small as Prairie du Chien. These two local unions have proven that great things can be done when everyone is willing to do their part in helping make it happen.
Thank you AFSCME Local's 82 & 903.
