Need a reason to vote

Need a reason to vote for Scott McCallum for Governor? How about the strike the teachers' union (WEAC) is threatening in a memo if Jim Doyle isn't elected? If Doyle is elected, the union will postpone a planned Nov. 9 meeting to decide what actions to take "up to and including a strike." The union opposes the Qualified Economic Offer (QEO) law and revenue caps on local school districts that have kept property taxes under control.

The union knows that a teachers' strike is illegal in Wisconsin, but they think that the state wouldn't "attempt to fine each person if we are ALL on strike."

Putting the election of a governor above the education of children is appalling. Doing it to suck more money out of the public trough is despicable. Stick it to the teachers' union next Tuesday by voting for Scott McCallum.
