If you’re not planning on voting on Tuesday, Jill Sixpack has a great list of some things you can do that might be really important:
If you are too busy to vote on Tuesday, here are some more urgent things you might want to do with your time:
Tour the State Capitol while it still looks nice (and the public restrooms are still supplied with toilet paper). If Scott Walker gets to author the state budget, building maintenance will likely suffer.
Renew your driver’s license. Again, Walker’s budgets will likely include more furloughs for state employees and a reduction in services.
Make that doctor’s appointment you’ve been putting off. If Ron Johnson has his way, fewer Americans will have access to affordable health care.
Visit a state park. If Milwaukee County’s parks are any indication, Walker will slash the budget for trail grooming and other park maintenance.
Carry your side-arm (peacefully) in a public place. Have you not noticed that gun rights have actually been expanded over the past two years? Expect a roll-back with law-and-order Republicans in charge.
Step up your job hunt. All those jobs that Ron Johnson plans to create will be in China.
What a crock. If the capitol building or state parks aren’t in the highest tiptop shape, so be it until the state gets its budget balanced. I only have to renew a license once a decade, I can probably wait a few extra minutes if I have to. Won’t exactly cause a lot of suffering. Republicans are going to roll back gun rights? Desperate lie. Are these really the best reasons one can come up with to vote against Walker?
I won’t even get into what was said about Johnson. Made for a good laugh though, I will give you that. Thanks for reposting such ridiculousness.
The condition of the parks under Scott Walker is pretty abysmal. Seeing that made me shake my head, and their deterioration under his leadership would give me great pause in considering to vote for him even if I didn’t disagree with him on so many issues.
Thanks for pointing out why we ALL should vote Walker. Also should be noted Scott Walker’s tourism plan calls for reopening the state’s eight welcome centers. More employees will be needed to staff and for maintenance. After Doyle closed them they became eyesores, not a good way for people to get a first impression of our fine state.
