I am so disgusted by what happened in WI tonight. First of all it sounds like it was illegal because of open meetings laws. But if there is something good that came out of this mess it's that the Republican's showed their true colors. Hopefully the recall efforts will succeed.
I am writing again to gather support for my mother. She is a strong union supporter and running for the 94th District Assembly position that was vacated due to an appointment in the Walker Administration. For the past 12 years she has been on our local school board and knows that negotiations with the unions work. In fact they just came to a contract agreement that bypassed what the Governor was proposing and the Unions actually gave more concessions then was asked for. She is a local leader and needs support. The WI State Assembly also needs more Democrats and here is a chance to help other than the recall efforts. Don't let them do this to us. Help get Cheryl Hancock elected to the 94th Assembly District.
Thanks
Jess

I wanted to post a link to mom's facebook page so you can learn more about her and her views.

Also here is her quote on what happened in WI yesterday and today.
"I believe in a Wisconsin where decisions are made through collaboration and compromise and everyone has a place at the table to assure all sides are considered. I am disappointed by the action of the Senate yesterday; not only for the impact it will have on individuals across the state, but what these divisive maneuvers say about those who govern our state. The Wisconsin I love is better than this and I call upon those elected to serve us, to do better as well."
