It could be an educational vacation for the kids, while I ensure that Rep Golden and Sen Donoghue staff persuaded with my children's drumming skills and protest chants. Maybe we could do kazoos! <br /><br />Now what could we lobby for, to make it legit? <br /> <br /><br />There's valid arguments to the unions, but when you get wackier then me, you're wacky.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852754398007790428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046628493283608233.post-51453498657373443592011-02-27T20:36:15.947-05:002011-02-27T20:36:15.947-05:00Cliff, are there any veterans interred in the rotu...Cliff, are there any veterans interred in the rotunda? Or is at as sacred as the many memorial bridges we use from day to day? But I can appreciate the sentiment. I get riled when I see folks perched up on the Ladd & Whitney tomb.<br /><br />And this idea that the State of Wisconson is favoring one side over others? How so? Because they haven't sent in the ANG to crack skulls?<br /><br />The protestors have taken the Rotunda. It is not being loaned to them at the charity of Gov. Walker. <a href="http://kstp.com/news/stories/S1993394.shtml?cat=1" rel="nofollow">But chin up.</a>Jack Mitchellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046628493283608233.post-8705430257562699612011-02-27T17:56:31.984-05:002011-02-27T17:56:31.984-05:00No, I think more the idea that Tea Party folks are...No, I think more the idea that Tea Party folks are not inside the Rotunda since it is fully occupied. Actually, that isn't exactly true. You can get in as onzies and twozies, as Professor Althouse and her husband (Meade) proved when they went into the Rotunda to suggest to those camped by the veterans memorial that they shouldn't be taping things to the memorial itself, <a href="http://althouse.blogspot.com/2011/02/protesters-at-wisconsin-capitol.html" rel="nofollow">but should be showing it respect</a>.<br /><br />The question is, is the Government (Wisconsin Government) accommodating one point of view and not giving equal accommodation to another, contrary point of view. That big business or big unions can spend millions on advertising is a fact, but not the same issue.<br /><br />Regards — CliffC R Kriegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10563658418464959198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046628493283608233.post-74884573039174521202011-02-26T20:42:12.677-05:002011-02-26T20:42:12.677-05:00Viewpoint discrimination?

I prefer the people standing up for themselves. The ones you can look in the eyes.

Should the Tea Party be allowed to occupy the Rotunda for ten or so days after the State Government Employee Unions go home, to make the Tea Party points? Should half the Rotunda be reserved for Tea Party sleepovers even now? What is fair? What is Constitutional?<br /><br />Regards — CliffC R Kriegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10563658418464959198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046628493283608233.post-30755132024006707832011-02-26T17:45:22.355-05:002011-02-26T17:45:22.355-05:00What is viewpoint discrimination?

We have spending reductions that need to be made, tax reform to be implemented and investments to ponder.lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03166505282284039388noreply@blogger.com
