Scott Walker (R) plans to do away with entirely. After just one month in office Gov. Walker has given corporate interests budget deals that have created a $137 million dollar deficit. This deficit of Walker&#8217;s making is being used as leverage against the rights of state employees. Wisconsin has historically been on the forefront of workers&#8217; rights in the United States. To wipe away years of progress with the stroke of a pen is unacceptable. We must press Gov. Walker for a compromise. The protests have been peaceful and I am proud to be exercising my rights as an American citizen.<\/p>\n<p>On Wisconsin!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Protest Against Gov.
