The Wisconsin taxpayers should announce a business blitz week. Pledge to spend what you pay in taxes in any given month in local businesses if they stand by the taxpayers and recall the bums out.
Watch what happens.

These unions won’t last long without automatic dues collection. :)

What the unions have going is monkey business. It’s such a transparent coercion that it can’t help but generate a strong blowback.

Why can’t we have an anti-boycott across the USA for any internet business based in Wisconsin which bucks the unions?
To: Nachum
Has anyone seen a link to these letters? I’d like to read it for myself and have not been able to find an online copy of one.

Unions - Protecters of freedom - support is mandatory
To: Nachum
I think they should come up with a new marketing plan.
It could be....”Unions...doing jobs that organized crime refuses to do”.
To: Nachum
If I received one of those letters my response would be: "Oh my g_d, I'm having such a bodily reaction that I can't control by vomiting, losing control of my bowel movements and can't sleep since I got this letter" and then file a cause of action against the bastards for
Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress!
And I'm sure some creative and enterprising young Attorney out there will figure this one out and go for it.

Borderline extortion. I think it's way over that line and right inline for RICO action.

Lawyers might argue that the term extortion denotes exchange of money, but this only denotes threat of financial harm.
I know, weasel words, but lawyers and judges do that.
Look at imperious Judge Sumi who has no legal authority in the state of Wisconsin to do what she is doing.

It is about to get nasty there.
The decent people of Wisconsin are about to learn a lesson our Armed Forces had to learn when fighting the Japanese and Germans in WWII.
The lesson? If you are going to beat them, you have got to get nastier and meaner than they are. If they refuse or don't wish to heed that basic lesson, things will be very bad for them in the future.
