Despite not being a Republican I am often invited to the functions, like the Price County Presidents Day Dinner. I enjoy the opportunity to converse with elected officials, but the union reich was present with their protesters and attempted to violate my right to be secure in my person by taking my picture, my wife held her hand over the camera and the lady stated she had a right to take pictures, undoubtedly to use for future retaliation. Four police officers were present to protect meeting attendees.
I was disappointed that my state representative, Mary Williams, was told not to appear because of security issues regarding threats to her, her daughter, a teacher, and granddaughter in grade school. The union storm troopers even protested at the restaurant owned by Mary and her husband Al, in Medford WI.
My state senator Pam Galloway was in attendance and indicated she was going to initiate an investigation regarding the doctor at the capitol writing medical excuses for teachers missing school on national television, in conjunction with the Department of Justice and State Licensing Board. Pam had to leave early under police escort for her protection.
Keynote speaker was the congress member for this district, Sean Duffy having defeated Dave Obey in the fall election. He proceeded to go into self praising diatribe about his votes regarding budget cuts. I questioned him regarding why the USDA requested 14.2 million for the Animal Traceability Program which the USDA had rolled NAIS program into on the Federal Register by sleight of hand and that it had been defunded by the previous congress and ruled by the judiciary as having no benefit for animal disease control. He went blank and responded that it was good constituents brought these issues to his attention. DUH
The attendance was bigger than ever with many non members present from even two counties away to show support for Governor Walker’s proposal despite the attempt by protesters to park all the stalls full.
In my opinion the justification that union members are only doing what they have to doesn’t hold water, when they threaten legislators and their families they have gone too far. There is no reason to tolerate this type of behavior or allow these people to continue, their arrogant kind simply need to go. No foreign terrorist group would be tolerated if conducting this type of activity.
