Republicans Send American Workers and Middle Class Running for Cover

I know it is certainly the fault of both the Democratic and Republic parties that America is so messed up, but the Republicans are setting out to do more damage in 2011 than we have seen in a while.–KAS


Dear Kevin,

If you needed anymore proof that the Republican Party is going to go attack the pillars of the American middle class, than you don’t need to look any further than Wisconsin. Republican Governor Scott Walker has proposed a bill that would eliminate state workers’ rights to bargain for benefits and better salaries.

He wants to take away the rights of Wisconsin teachers, prison guards, and other state employees to negotiate for a better life. Hundreds of thousands of workers denied their rights. This is union busting at its worst.

21st Century Democrats has always been a proud supporter of workers’ rights and this is one of the most atrocious attacks I’ve ever seen. The governor even threatened to call out the National Guard to prevent state workers from protesting this horrendous bill.

Wisconsin isn’t taking this lying down though. Thousands of state employees, students, and other supporters have come out to protest this assault on workers’ rights. 21st Century Democrats is proud to stand with Wisconsin’s state workers and I know you are too.

Sincerely,

Jim Scheibel, Chair
