By Victor | Published: April 4, 2012

     Education reformers with the group READER-WI (Reforming Education And Demanding Excellent Results) sent a message to taxpayers and union officials by way of a billboard on the Beltline near WEAC headquarters in Madison.

     But a series of other recent videos show that the union-sponsored protesters and their allies may [...]

     Wisconsin’s pending recall election is not about Republicans vs. Democrats.

     It’s about the public sector unions seeking revenge against Gov. Scott Walker for Act 10, which cancelled many of their collective bargaining privileges.

     And it’s becoming more clear every day that the people of [...]

“Wisconsin for Falk” equals Big Labor money

By Victor | Published: March 28, 2012
