In 53-42 Vote, Wisconsin Assembly Gives Final Passage To Bill Stripping Collective Bargaining Rights; Politicians Get Death Threats Over Imminent Austerity
After yesterday the Wisconsin Senate passed the controversial Union Bargaining Bill, using a surprising loophole, resulting in a Union occupation of the Capitol building, the next formality before its enactment has just taken place: the Wisconsin Assembly has just given final passage to the bill, meaning just the signature of Governor Walker is all that is needed at this point, something which will surely happen in the next few hours. And after earlier the Obama administration expressed its disappointment that Wisconsin managed to find this legislative loophole, thereby making the farcical taxpayer funded self-exile of the state democrats all for naught, we are confident the president will be making the teleprompted rounds imminently.
From AP:
Wisconsin lawmakers have voted to strip nearly all collective bargaining rights from the state's public workers in one of the strongest blows to the power of unions in years.
The state's Assembly passed Republican Gov. Scott Walker's explosive proposal 53-42 Thursday. The state's Senate approved it the night before after using a procedural move to bypass its AWOL Democrats.
Walker says he'll sign the legislation as quickly as possible.
The vote brings a swift end to a standoff over union rights that has rocked Wisconsin and the nation. Tens of thousands of protesters have converged on the state's Capitol for weeks of demonstrations.
The implementation of Walker's proposal will be a key victory for Republicans who have targeted unions amid efforts to slash government spending.
In the meantime, as Karl Denningers highlights, social decay is propagating after Wisconsin politicians receive the following death threat:
Please put your things in order because you will be killed and your familes will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks. Please explain to them that this is because if we get rid of you and your families then it will save the rights of 300,000 people and also be able to close the deficit that you have created. I hope you have a good time in hell. Read below for more information on possible scenarios in which you will die.
WE want to make this perfectly clear. Because of your actions today and in the past couple of weeks I and the group of people that are working with me have decided that we've had enough. We feel that you and the people that support the dictator have to die. We have tried many other ways of dealing with your corruption but you have taken things too far and we will not stand for it any longer. So, this is how it's going to happen: I as well as many others know where you and your family live, it's a matter of public records. We have all planned to assult you by arriving at your house and putting a nice little bullet in your head. However, we decided that we wouldn't leave it there. We also have decided that this may not be enough to send the message to you since you are so "high" on Koch and have decided that you are now going to single handedly make this a dictatorship instead of a demorcratic process. So we have also built several bombs that we have placed in various locations around the areas in which we know that you frequent. This includes, your house, your car, the state capitol, and well I won't tell you all of them because that's just no fun. Since we know that you are not smart enough to figure out why this is happening to you we have decided to make it perfectly clear to you. If you and your goonies feel that it's necessary to strip the rights of 300,000 people and ruin their lives, making them unable to feed, clothe, and provide the necessities to their families and themselves then We Will "get rid of" (in which I mean kill) you. Please understand that this does not include the heroic Rep. Senator that risked everything to go aganist what you and your goonies wanted him to do. We feel that it's worth our lives to do this, because we would be saving the lives of 300,000 people. Please make your peace with God as soon as possible and say goodbye to your loved ones we will not wait any longer. YOU WILL DIE!!!!
Forget Saudi days of rage: you take away some entitlements right here in our own back yard and civil war may soon break out...

Totality imminent. Under the rhetorics of austerity the striping of social rights is happening. I say good job. Just another notch in the belt for corporations. Freedom in slavery is what t-baggers really want.
So, should we expect a no-fly zone over Wisconsin in the coming days?
I definitely see a pattern here ,first we get New Jersey's teachers union getting members to pray the Governors death http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/unholy_nj_BailThvJGGa7EUiOqO2QaK .Now this I guess when the unions take it up a notch ....BAMB !

In response to JW n FL:
We can only hope we are seeing the end of public sector unions and the unions have no one to thank but themselves. I was a State employee and manager and had to deal AFSCME union and their hideous rules that allowed 3 ‘workers’ to be hired to do the job of one with the ‘worker’ taking turn playing computer games, smoking, and sleeping on the job. Literally. The 11 step firing process. The free health care and pensions until 2005 when employees had to start paying a fraction of what private sector paid, with the taxpayer still guaranteeing ‘worker’ retirement. ‘Work’ 20 years, contribute nothing or almost nothing and retire at 50% of last yrs salary. The constant grievances and lawsuits.
My opinion is that AFSCME is an terrorist enemy of State tax payers as are the State Pension guarantors and Walker should be saluted for finally standing up to the thugs. Let the little girls whine or better commit crimes so they can all go to jail and State Corrections can give them a taste of the medicine they handed out for decades.
Let us hope that you can see the facts above, and these are facts, that PUBLIC unions have brought this
upon themselves. Legislators represent Taxpayers against these
extortionists much like Bd of Directors represents shareholders against private
unions.
I told you guys that the first court to review this ridiculous and obviously unconstitutional law would overturn it and they have. Back to the drawing board for the 'small f' fascists, I guess!
