Thank You!

The following was reprinted, with a few corrections, from an email that circulated after the recall election in Wisconsin.  Enjoy!

To all leftists, occupiers, unionistas and malcontents,

Thank you! What an election! We couldn't have done it without you. Without your tantrums, outbursts and boorish behavior we might have stayed home for this election. Without your filthy, pot smoking hemp -headed minions occupying and violating the Capitol we might have been complacent. Without your obnoxious protests, boycotts and other actions from your union playbook, we might have sat this one out.

But you couldn't hold back. You couldn't restrain yourselves and behave like adults. You couldn't accept the 2010 election results. We sat and watched as you erupted in a juvenile hissy fit that embarrassed Wisconsin. The spectacle you created is what motivated us. And thanks to your ill-mannered behavior, we won. We turned out. Big time! And now we are organized and energized. Committed. "All in". And we aren't going away. We now have our own organizations (no dues required), an army of volunteers and the means to communicate. We now have countless new sources of funding, including a donor base from all 50 states. And we have "iverifythe recall" to ferret out your infiltrators in our future local elections.

So thank you Mike Tate, Graeme Zielinski, Fred "Loonie" Levenhagen, Ismael Ozanne, Maryanne Sumi, Noble Ray, Charles Tubbs, Joanne Kloppenberg, Segway Boy, John Chisolm, public employee union members, UW TA's, WEAC, SEIU, MTI, AFSCME Council 24 in Union Grove and WI prison guards,. Thanks for the death threats, the intimidation, the bullying, belligerence, thuggery and goonish behavior. Thanks for showing the world the left’s lack of ethics and their failure to enforce rules and laws. Thank you for putting your selfish, greedy motives on display for all taxpayers to see. Your antics might have made you feel good but they didn't make you look good. They sickened the rest of us.

Thank you, Shirley Abrahamson and Ann Walsh Bradley. Your petty politics woke us up. Thank you, Miles Kristan for dumping the beer on Robin Vos' head. Thank you, University doctors for writing the phony excuses; Madison teachers for calling in sick or dragging your students to the protests without permission. Thank you, Katherine Windels for making death threats against the Governor. Thank you to the noontime capitol singers who taunted Sheboygan high school students. Thank you WEA Trust for raping Wisconsin taxpayers. Thank you, Gwen Moore for your embarrassing minstrel show. And thanks to all of you for harassing the Walker family at their private home.

You have all been exposed. Your tactics have been rejected. Your bad behavior has been forever captured on YouTube. Thank you, Peter Barca and fellow demorat Assembly members for donning your foolish orange T-shirts and screaming "shame" at legislators that we doing their jobs, unlike you. Thank you, Mark Miller and all 14 demorat senators for fleeing the state and making fools of yourselves in the process. Illinois needs a few more village idiots. Thanks for showing us what democracy doesn't look like.

And Mayor Barrett. How grateful we are that you chose one low road after another in your issue-less campaign against the Governor. This was your strike three. You are out. Take a seat on the bench and stay there. I have a hunch this was your final at-bat.

All of you helped turn Wisconsin permanently red. Your Governor, Scott Walker, will not just complete his first term, he is all but assured as many future terms as he seeks. He will be your governor for a long, long time. Get used to it. And his national "rock star" status just might lead him to be your President someday. Just think, it couldn't have happened without you! So to all of you blue fisters, thank you from the bottom of my happy, red heart. Sincerely,

A Wisconsin taxpayer

By Any Means Necessary

If you give them what they want, you WILL get what you deserve. If you sit this election out, comfortable in the polling numbers, thinking this will be a cakewalk for Governor Walker, then the union thugs will be successful in their attempt to overturn a legal election in the State of Wisconsin. While the recall is legitimate as to the letter of the law, it fails to honor the spirit in which it was written. Governor Walker was not engaged in any wrongdoing. Governor Walker was not embroiled in any personal scandal. Governor Walker simply did what he said he would do when running for the office of Governor. And this got two Republican State Senators thrown out of office last year and has three more on the hot seat. The democrat State Senators that fled Wisconsin in an attempt to create a stalemate in order to keep Act 10 from passing, in fact refusing to do their job as they were elected to do, are looked upon as heroes by the liberally biased media. Government workers, primarily public school teachers, that enjoyed lavish benefits, paid for entirely by taxpayers, are now required to pay a portion of the costs for their generous pensions and pay toward their health insurance. And those costs are far less than those in the private sector that are required to pay taxes in order to provide those benefits to those government workers.

As van upon van, filled with voters casting votes for democrats and against our duly elected Governor, Scott Walker, our democracy is in danger of falling to the tactics of an organization that intends to bolster its own power at the expense of you, the taxpayer. Mayor Tom Barrett, the democrat opponent in this recall election has created a "van parking only" space in front of City Hall to facilitate those democrat vans filled with who knows who, from who knows where, attempting to disenfranchise the true voters of Wisconsin. City Hall remains open for early voting until 7PM, including on weekends and now on Memorial Day. Democrat canvassers appear at the doors of Wisconsin residents in an effort to identify potential opportunities to fraudulently cast votes in the names of those away at college, deceased, or not planning to cast their votes. Those of you that have become complacent and will choose to not take the time and effort to cast your vote will get what you deserve. No one will ever again mess with the unions and they, not you, will determine how the State of Wisconsin, and likely how this country is to be run in the future.

If we, as conservatives, do not vote, we will not marginalize the liberal fringe that is taking over our country. If we, as conservatives, do not vote, the minority that is liberal will continue to usurp more and more authority and will succeed in its’ quest to fundamentally transform America. Those true believers that embrace the liberal viewpoint comprise less than 20 per cent of the population of this country, yet they continue to elect democrats at a pace that equals conservatives. Since over 40 per cent of our population is considered conservative and with another 20 per cent plus as moderates or independents that lean conservative, this makes no sense and does not truly represent the will of the people.

This is not only the most important vote in the history of the State of Wisconsin, it will have a far reaching impact throughout the United States of America. If a duly elected Governor is thrown out of office in what will be no more than a bloodless coup, nothing will be the same. If you think the protests at the Capitol were bad last year, just wait until you experience an emboldened left. You may as well just open your checkbook and hand it over to the democrats. If too many conservatives sit this one out, you may as well start looking for a new place to live because it is not going to be pretty. If you are committed to voting to retain Governor Walker, it is up to you to make certain that everyone, yes everyone that you know, goes to the polls, either by early voting or on election day June 5th. We will have no one to blame but ourselves if we let this one get away!
