Apparently you've either posted the wrong link or are just lying
again.

The link you provided is about Kucinich's questions about *specific
provisions* of the proposal.... the provision about unions holding
annual elections to give the members a chance to attempt to give up
union representation and giving union members the right to NOT have
union dues automatically deducted from their paychecks.


Like Rachel Maddow and the Wisconsin **Surplus** story that you fell
for hook, line and sinker, the Kos has sent you out to make an idiot
of yourself as well.

Mission accomplished.

Mission accomplished indeed! You have certified yourself as a mindless right-wing bot good for nothing but regurgitating the party line. If this single vital provision of Walker's phony "money-saving" bill is tainted then the whole is equally tainted.The proposal in question is the core of Walker's attempt at union busting under the guise of saving money and had nothing to do with reducing Wisconsin's deficit as Wisconsin's Scott Fitzgerald (R) effectively admitted when he said that the union fights are not about budgetary issues, but rather about winning the next election by depleting the ranks of organized labor. .

From the program transcript:

Kucinich (0:43): Let me ask you about some of the specific provisions in your proposal to strip collective bargaining rights. First, your proposal would require unions to hold annual votes to continue representing their own members. Can you please explain to me and members of this committee how much money this provision saves for your state budget?

Walker (1:07):That and a number of other provisions we put in because if you are going to ask, if you are going to put in place a change like that, we wanted to make sure that we protected the worker's of our state so they had a right to know what kind of value they got out of it. It's the same reason we gave worker's the right to choose, which is a fundamental America right, the right to choose whether or not they want to be a part of a union, and whether they went up to a thousand--

Kucinich (1:26): Would you answer the question? How much money does it save Governor? Just answer the question.

Walker: It doesn't save any."

Period.
