Victory: Scott Walker signs collective bargaining bill
Hotair ^ | 03/11/2011 | Allahpundit

Posted on 03/11/2011 7:02:02 PM PST by SeekAndFind

He already signed it this morning, actually, but they went ahead with a special public ceremony in the afternoon so that he could sign it again. Just because. Reminds me of Pelosi talking that long walk to the Capitol before the ObamaCare vote in the House, waving that giant gavel around that looked bigger than she is, chuckling all the way. The left keeps promising that Walker and the Senate GOP will pay for this, which may or may not be true. But if and when it does, let these three words comfort you: “Minority Leader Pelosi.”

Meanwhile, the newest tactic from union shills is to send letters to Walker’s campaign donors promising a boycott of their businesses if they don’t now become good little union shills themselves. Reciprocating could be a fun project for Wisconsin tea partiers. Pick a liberal-owned business, essentially at random, and organize a boycott aimed at crippling it. That’s a nasty tactic, but then we’ve spent three weeks of watching screeching cretins try to intimidate and occasionally even outright threaten Republican legislators. If our moral superiors on the left want to fight dirty, we should be sportsmanlike and oblige them. Click the image to watch.

There was a small mob of the union herd animals on the main corner of a town near me in NW WI this afternoon, timed to get the attention of folks headed north for weekend ice fishing and snowmobiling. Most of their signs were too small to be readable while driving, but I caught two that said “RECALL” and “WALKER BAD FOR BUSINESS” (Huh?).

You need to post it. Broadcast it to Wisconsin board.

That would be a good way to identify who is conservative. Hobby Lobby closes on Sunday too, and they play hymns during the hours they are open.

doubt the cameras will bother to go back to Wisconsin after the bloom is off the story.

They will just switch to the next state. Walker manned up---makes us conservatives proud. MI, IN, OH next up to the task?

The pic of him signing the bill has a misspelled word.
He’s right handed. That’s not good.

The unions have fallen silent. They are beginning a recall of the Republicans, and likely prepping for the 2012 election, which ought to have some drama in it.

We ought to highlight such companies like Chick-Fil-A” and here on the west coast “In-and-Out Burger” both of which are family owned by Christians (Chick fil-a closes on Sundays)...

Had lunch in a Chick-Fil-A on my way to work...

In Ohio, it's already passed the senate - and the vote in the house is Tuesday -

the dems are 40 to 59 pubbies - I'd say they're toast. At least they didn't run away.

I'm hoping the criminals from WI that ran away to hide, don't come back in time and are fired.

I don't know how the bills are progressing in MI and IN?

I hope that Sarah Palin is considering Walker for VP.

WTF?

I wish I hadn’t looked THIS one up!

“Michigan Governor Rick Snyder said he won’t “pick fights” with the state’s employee unions.

“We’re going to go negotiate with our unions in a collective-bargaining fashion to achieve goals..”

RINO?

This doesn't look good either - is Kasich bargaining with the devil? - watering down the bill that just passed the senate?

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/27/us-usa-midwest-unions-idUSTRE71Q2UI20110227?feedType=RSS&sp=true

Looks like there's gotta be some Rinos in the Ohio House that need replacing in 2012?

and in Indiana, same scenario as WI. Will Mitch do the same thing Walker did? Pass the part of the bill that doesn't need a quorum? With the rats out of town - will he pull off a ‘Walker?”

I'm worn out. I think I'm going to hibernate until spring comes (I still have 2 1/2 ft of snow on my lawn.)

I didn’t compile the list; I just copied it from Facebook to my homepage. FReeper jellybean gets the hat tip for posting a link to it. I don’t know whether she originally made the list.

No, I didn't compile the list. It's from a Face Book page, They Support Walker Keep Them Open For Business started by a Green Bay talk show host, Jerry Bader. This list of businesses is under the "Info" tab on the right.

You can also "attend" the backyard cookout on March 26.

You can order "Scott Walker My Hero" t-shirts HERE. The shop was targeted by the President of something called TREA (Two Rivers Education Association?). Here's the story on National Review.
