Documents show Wisconsin unrest orchestrated and spreading
Examiner ^ | 2/19/11

Posted on 02/19/2011 8:47:25 PM PST by Nachum

While part of the current unrest in Wisconsin is driven by local issues, new information has been uncovered indicating an orchestrated attempt to stir up 'worker protests' not only in Wisconsin but in at least a dozen states. The coordinated effort is part of a 'revolution' spearheaded in part by a group called 'Heartland Revolution,' a Kentucky-based political action organization. The group was first envisioned by a Kentucky Democrat, John Waltz, who announced his candidacy in 2009 to oppose 2-term Republican Geoff Davis for the 4th Congressional District. Waltz was defeated in the November 2010 midterm elections but embarked on an effort to create 'revolution' throughout America, stemming from his anger toward what he terms 'the hijacking of political discourse by right-wing propagandists.' His group is invovled in the continuing Wisconsin protests of teachers unions upset over Governor Scott Walker's plan to have them pay for part of their healthcare and pension benefits, to which they currently contribute very little of the total costs.

This should be an eye opener for the general public who these leeches are sucking the financial blood from. Now is the time for for Tea Party and conservatives and independents to show there are more people in this Nation besides communist feather bedders.

If I was in Madison I’d show up “in support” of the unions claiming to be a teacher with a sign that says “Teechers are grateful two the yooyun”.

America better get itself together

One of the most important steps that conservatives must make is to get their kids out of the godless government temples of state worship ( misnamed “schools”).

Conservatives must work to shut down these godless government communist indoctrination camps and get as many children as possible into private conservative schools.

Ditto for colleges and universities as well.

As more people have the opportunity to witness these “rallies”, they will begin to wonder where those folks get the time to do this. As more people come to understand that they (the taxpayers) are often footing the bill for these rallies, or that Obama’s campaign dollars are helping to support the work of these rabble rousers, they will become hardened against these union demonstrations.

I don’t think that tea parties should try to counter these rallies with in-person demonstrations. Coordinating phone calls or email campaigns to the targeted politicians would be a more efficient use of their resources. This isn’t the 60’s. And it lessens the opportunity for violent clashes (which some believe is the ultimate goal of these paid agitators.)

You are exactly right. It is no surprise that both Obama and the Communist Party of the U.S. support the anarchy occurring in Wisconsin.

While the facts are certainly different, I often wonder how much time elapsed between the last day the Russians believed the Berlin Wall was secure and the first day the citizens started to demolish it. Events happen quickly with highly charged crowds.

"Hope the Tea Party shows up at every single one."

Tea Party people have to work, unlike the union clowns in Madison, and elsewhere.

It almost seems the media is orchestrating this in order to either sell papers or have something to say on TV. OTOH WI should say Ok, hand out vouchers to be paid sometime in the future when the state has the money, if and when.

Someone should make a bumper sticker like the welfare one that says, "Work harder, millions in unions depend on you."

Enough are retired or currently out of jobs to make a fair appearance, I would think. And some would willingly take vacation time if their employment conditions provided for that. It would not be as big as, say, a weekend rally.

I believe there has to be some kind of direct confrontation with these featherbedding candy takers. Otherwise the masses of the country will be led by the media to think all the protesters are all the Nation. It doesn’t have to be violent if state police forces do their sworn duty. But with the police and fireman blindsighted by a communist social agenda, who knows.

This isn’t the 60’s.

Normally, I would agree with your recommendations. However, based on having watched "them" during the 60's, I will tell you they are much better positioned for "this" now than they were in the 60's.

Consider for a moment the wide range of threats that could be brought to bear tomorrow on the streets of America, don't even bother to include threats that could come from elsewhere in the world. Add in the immediate disruption to our economy together with the unavailability of things we need for our everyday lives, and one has the outline for a disturbing novel.

Wake up.

These guys are serious and they have a plan.

Yeah, I know we all work for a living while they don’t.
BUT THEY HAVE A PLAN - what is it?
Just create havoc? No, it is something more than just that.

And guess what? Just hoping that the Tea Party will be enough, won’t cut it.

Ideas?

Like, us hard working people stop working?
Not enough pissed off people for that to work

What? What is realistic and passive resistance?

Because I tell you, they want us to try to bash their heads in.
It has to be economic. Like a bank run or something.
These leeches need us more than we need them.

Not a surprise, but my feeling is that this is not playing well with people, and the longer this nonsense in “Madistan” goes on, the less people like it. The fact that word has surfaced at all is a good indicator that these Unions are on thin ice.

Indeed. We respond with organization, money, and legal tactics of our own. Free Republic is an excellent place for it.
