Gingrich outlined the program for the National Republican Governors which outlines the radical tack that is being pushed on states as an attempt to enact anti-union legislation nationwide. The purpose is to de-fund the unions and thus "enhance" GOP chances in the 2012.
The Nerd is swept up in this morass.
Michigan is being beset with vicious attempts to sweep unions from their ability to participate in public policy formation and retain their rights to pensions and benefits, and most significantly retain the "right to bargain"-collective bargaining as public unions.
Gov. Scott Walker implicated Snyder as part of a network of governors with whom Walker plots.
Snyder has used legislative trickery to camouflage his earnest efforts to de-certify the role of unions. Certain bills on the fast track through the Legislature contain elements which will accomplish "Walker's Wisconsin Anti-Union crusade."
How is the Gingrich mandate moving in the Nerd's Michigan?
Yesterday, the (Michigan) State House passed a bills package granting emergency financial managers the dictatorial power to toss out union contracts and summarily dismiss (fire) elected officials in cities, counties, townships and school districts operating at a deficit. And barring those officials (in this extreme economic downturn which is the real cause of their budget shortfalls) from the right to hold office for years into the future is troubling. Punitive? That's putting it far too lightly.
Dangerous to democracy? Absolutely.
Karl Rove, soon to come to Livingston Co., has reinforced the Norquist/Newt Gingrich gameplan, both as a point person and a fund raiser. Rove clearly outed his purpose in engaging the unions in "do or die." Karl revealed the GOP national campaign is targeted to undercut the Democratic Party with the unvarnished purpose of achieving partisan homogeny in 2012.
Gingrich told told both the American Enterprise Institute and the National Republican Governor's Association: "The first great laboratory (using the state legislation to attack unions) for replacing the left will not be in Washington. It will be in the states.
As the Walker remarks state: Wisconsin is "the first domino."
Can the Nerd trickery be far behind?
