Rachel Maddow's show is a MUST SEE! The url is below!
AFTER 22 days of protests, WISCONSIN UNIONS have accomplished getting Governor Walker to talk about compromise! The Democrats have not returned yet, but as Rachel says, "WISCONSIN HAS WON!" This is proof that the people can still have an influence on government!!!! It takes people using their voices!
RACHEL SAYS MICHIGAN'S CASE IS MOST "STARK AND AMAZING" - in this case, they are not meant in a positive manner!
Rachel makes a tremendous case for the fact that all of the bills being presented in all the state legislatures is NOT ABOUT THE BUDGET. They tell us it is about the budget, but it is about union busting. It is NOT about the BUDGET because the state is cutting money from K-12 funding, pensions, and low income families. HE IS GIVING AWAY THIS SAVINGS, $1.7 BILLION BY GIVING BUSINESSES A $1.8 BILLION TAX BREAK!

Tell the legislators: Cutting funding to Schools, and increasing taxes for Retirees and low income families at the same time approving $1.8 billion for corporate tax breaks is beyond what the people of Michigan can tolerate. That the Michigan legislature should not be inacting corporate policy in place of acting in the best interests of the people of Michigan.

About Me
- Tfitzjake
- I wrote this introduction 6 years ago, and it is even more important today than ever. The voices of educational employees need to be heard above the roar of public school attacks in this country. We are on the front line; we are highly educated and trained professionals. Why are we being ignored? I am an educator. I was the president of the Walled Lake Education Association for over 6 years, and before that, the treasurer for 8 years. I have been on the bargaining team for 15 years. I am now the MEA UniServ Director for 7K and parts of IJ. I want our voice to be heard! Today's educational climate requires that we all stay informed regarding the issues affecting our chosen profession!
