If you have a different situation in Ohio than the rest of the country with State and federal workers then you may have a point.
And if that is true then you did what you had to do there.
I do know what I said is true in regards to many other states.
I do not know the Koch brothers or any other organization, I speak for what I know and see.
Here in the eastern states and in many of the midwestern states along with California what I said is right on the money.
I am a strong believer that every state should be a right to work state.
Any thing else is un-constitutional and wrong.
I don't care what anyone else says about it.
I remember being down right pissed off at my Police and Fire Union here in NJ for what they did and who they supported many times.
We literally bought democratic politicians every year.
You call that evening the political landscape, no that is graft and corruption.
It also is what has led to the bankrupting of many of our states.
There does not exist the money to pay for the public sector packages that are out there and everyone knows it.
We have kicked the can down the road for decades.
So instead of trying to work it out the large national unions, the large public unions are holding the bought and paid for politicians to their promises and keeping good people from working it out. Yes in a highly unionized state like Ohio and NJ you are going to get the majority to fight common sense reforms.
I do not know all your politicians but I know John Casik (sp)he is a good and decent man and he is trying to turn around a state that is heading into the crapper and he might just make it happen for Ohio if everyone put themselves in the fight together but he has been fought tooth and nail since he got there.
Millions of dollars from democratic and union cofers around the country went into the campaign against him and if you think three or four years from now you are going to be better off in Ohio for the onslaught he is facing I believe you are dead wrong.
The only chance these states, including mine has got is to support common sense reforms, make your states competitive with the rest of the country and attract new jobs and companies. Casik was trying to do that for all the people in your state. I hope Ohio comes through these times well, I wish you and your brother FF all the best.
But I will tell you from what I have seen Governors like him and in Wisconsin and in NJ are trying to save the states from going bankrupt and not paying anyone there pensions and benefits.
They are trying to save the people of Ohio, NJ and WI. And they are not bought and paid for by big labor and that is the reason that the unions are after them.
Because they had the courage to do the right thing and stand up for all the people.
Oh, thank you very much for the Tea Party compliment, I much appreciate that.
