SENT VIA FASCIMILE AND REGULAR MAIL
Dear Mr. Ellis:
As you undoubtedly know, Governor Walker recently proposed a “budget
adjustment bill” to eviscerate public employees’ right to collectively bargain in
Wisconsin. ..
As you also know, Scott Walker did not campaign on this issue when he ran for
office. If he had, we are confident that you would not be listed among his largest
contributors. As such, we are contacting you now to request your support.
The undersigned groups would like your company to publicly oppose Governor
Walker’s efforts to virtually eliminate collective bargaining for public employees in
Wisconsin. While we appreciate that you may need some time to consider this
request, we ask for your response by March 17. In the event that you do not
respond to this request by that date, we will assume that you stand with
Governor Walker and against the teachers, nurses, police officers, fire fighters,
and other dedicated public employees who serve our communities.
In the event that you cannot support this effort to save collective bargaining,
please be advised that the undersigned will publicly and formally boycott the
goods and services provided by your company. However, if you join us, we will
do everything in our power to publicly celebrate your partnership in the fight to
preserve the right of public employees to be heard at the bargaining table.Wisconsin’s public employee unions serve to protect and promote equality and
fairness in the workplace. We hope you will stand with us and publicly share that
ideal.
In the event you would like to discuss this matter further, please contact the
executive Director of the Wisconsin Professional Police Association, Jim Palmer,
at 608.273.3840.
Thank you in advance for your consideration. We look forward to hearing from
you soon.

The following letter is being sent out from Wisconsin Unions/THE MOB to Wisconsin Business Owners.......
Taking "Put the money in the bag.....or were gonna shut you down" to a whole new level.
This ****ing disgusts me.....these power hungry union slobs are a disgrace to this country......and piss poor excuses for Americans. A Union of little thug dictators.......its no wonder they prostitute for The Democrat Party and The Kenyan Tyrant. Birds of a feather....

The Kenyan Tyrant.
We can stop taking you seriously right about here... :coffeepap
You took him seriously before that?
It is simply a boycott nothing more
In the event that you cannot support this effort to save collective bargaining,
please be advised that the undersigned will publicly and formally boycott the
goods and services provided by your company.
Intimidation is what it is. I think those businesses should counter by refusing to pay their taxes, until the budget is under control.
Translation:
If you side with those Republican bastards, we'll make sure you're business is driven into the ground until it folds up like a house of paper.
To which I say poor babies
Yes. Threatening to shut someones business down because you don't like their politics is certainly the adult thing to do.
It certainly is
How many conservatives stated they would not buy GM because of the bailout? A boycott in other words, how many conservatives boycott various stores for selling what they consider offensive music/videos. Religous groups boycotted Volvo for placing adds in magazines for gays.
Yet I doubt you were upset by those boycotts now were you
To which I say poor babies
There's a big difference between private citizens choosing not to purchase a product and an organized union sending out threatening letters to local businesses.
Personally, I think the unions are shooting themselves in the foot with this stupidity.
It is simply a boycott nothing more
That is what a boycott is
The threat of a loss of business unless said company makes certain policy decisions. It is the consumer deciding not to purchase the goods and services of said company
If the companies can handle that they should get out of the kitchen
Something interesting I just noticed. Of the 7 unions undersigned, 5 of them are or either police or firefighters, unions that weren't targeted by by the Wisconsin cons.
.Wisconsin Police and Firefighters Didn’t Endorse Walker
There are 314 fire and police unions in the state. Four of them endorsed me. All the rest endorsed my opponent
How soon we forget.
Remember 'The Dixie Chicks' and their comment about a certain president from Texas?
It is simply a boycott nothing more
Translation:
If you side with those Republican bastards, we'll make sure you're business is driven into the ground until it folds up like a house of paper.
So you don't think its a fundamental right to choose who you purchase from?
Also, whovian must hate christians
Church boycotts Pepsi for supporting "acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle" | reasonWeekly
Not when it involves the police and fire departments. I wonder if the boycott will mean the police officers will no longer get free meals at the restaurants who did not sign up to publicly support the thugs? And how about predicting headlines. "Businesses that support the thugs had zero fire hazard violations. The average for businesses that did not support the thugs was 32,476 violations."
ould you call the police to investigate the broken windows on your business?
Unions are about extortion. They're about getting their demands met through violence or threats of violence. They have no interet in fairness, no interest in service to the consumer or the taxpayer, and no interest in safety beyond their own personal safety.
