Gee, Governor Walker, Walk YOU!

Maybe I'm being too harsh on the governor. I don't think so. This "Budget Repair Bill" is a total disaster. It really is. We all realize that over spending is always a problem. And each party thinks what is good or bad about what is being spent on. But lets face it. Yanking money from the state's poorest isn't going to help the situation, because those w/o health coverage will utilize ER's more often, driving UP the health care costs. So it's actually less expensive to use the medicaid program, to allow people to make appointments with primary physicians for preventative medicine vs. visiting the ER to get a pound of cure. Our education system is already in sad shape. Half of the developing world is equal to passing US up educationally. Yet education will get a severe cut also, putting a higher burden on local tax payers, and we're already broke as it is, here in S.E. Wisconsin. We don't have enough jobs, people are losing their homes, and now this.



Anyway, because now the Governor wants to just shove through the bill, without any discussions, compromise, nothing. We have 14 Senators who protested by leaving so quorum won't be met. So, now the Senate is defunct, and the Governor is barking out orders like a dictator. Why can't both sides just work together for all people of Wisconsin? I don't know...



Here is the part that makes me angry though, is because right now, the legislature isn't moving anything. So, while the governor is playing a power game with the senators and won't budge, April's Law Wisconsin, which is two years in the making, is at a stalemate because of this whole mess. While it may go to the assembly, the likelihood of it making the state senate looks really slim right now. It's sad, because we have a draft. So it boils down to money, an inanimate object, is more important than protecting children from sex predators on and offline.



We can fix the situation. Rectify it. Really. Governor Walker needs to work on bipartisan issues, and when it comes to a split, make a compromise. I am asking everyone to write to Governor Walker, to please go ahead and either start negotiating or drop the "Budget Repair Bill" until next year. Lets unite for the children instead. Aren't our precious resource worth it? Children = future. Lets keep them safe. Here is Governor Walker's contact information:

Please let them know that the power struggle games need to stop, and we need to come together as a state, and leader in the nation to protect our children. Don't let Walker undo the health care reform that Tommy Thompson put in place. After all, former president Bush was so impressed with the Thompson plan of W2, it should be good enough for Scot Walker.



April's Law is in jeopardy of being put on the back burner, because of the power struggle on the budget bill. We need Governor Walker to negotiate and Senator Wangaard to sponsor it in the senate. We are citizens and voters, who believe we need to be heard and represented to protect the children, or we're allowing the child sex offenders off the hook. Thank you in advance for your help, I can't do it alone, and you can help make this happen.



A huge thank you to Rep. Cory Mason for drafting April's Law Wisconsin. He is truly an asset to the cause for the children. See below to view the current draft, we may be adding something for kidnapping, and possibly a clause to exclude high school sweethearts, with a 4-5 year exemption, since in that case, peer rape is a crime on it's own, and consent in this instance is not an issue. We're talking about predators preying on our children. Thanks again!



Please forward to all your friends, especially those who live in Wisconsin. We need your help. Please continue to sign April's Law Wisconsin Petition - http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/aprils-law-wisconsin/
