Many of your politicians have pledged allegiance to serve. The problem is, they have pledged allegiance NOT to the people of Wisconsin but to their out of state billionaire "daddies"!
Those newly elected Republicans helped push through funding cuts for
the Environmental Protection Agency and tried to roll back the agency's
regulatory powers, as well as being obstacles to enactment of laws to
address climate change, the report says.
In addition to Walker and
Kleefisch, Wisconsin signers of the pledge, all Republicans, are U.S.
Sen. Ron Johnson, U.S. Reps. Jim Sensenbrenner, Sean Duffy and Reid
Ribble, state Sens. Leah Vukmir, Alberta Darling, Glenn Grothman and
Mary Lazich, and state Reps. Dale Kooyenga, Don Pridemore, Jim Ott and
Bill Kramer.
Want some context?
Since we're all fond of comparing Wisconsin with Minnesota, a
demographically similar state that outperforms Wisconsin on several
economic fronts, it merits noting that the only politicians from that
state to sign the pledge are retiring U.S. Rep. Michelle Bachmann and
Minnesota state Rep. Glenn Gruenhagen.
I think you're on to something here. Sounds to be like a great way to show voters wherein the difference lies.
