You get what you pay for - the finest candidate union money can buy.

Your opinion piece falls along the same lines as this article that I read yesterday. http://bdgrdemocracy.wordpress.com/2012/02/09/premature-weac-recommendation-in-democratic-primary-blatant-disregard-for-members-and-the-movement/

FALK------------? NO THANKS WE HAVE AREADY BEEN FALKED BY DOYLE

The old saying applies....."Evil turns on itself".

Doesn't matter who they march out to lose. It's the same failed formula that doesn't work. Just ask Illinois or California or Michigan or Greece or Portugal, et al.

Great pick by the bosses! Look at politifact - she raised taxes by millions of dollars during tough times. Then, she also blatantly spoke lies about JB Van Hollen when she was running against him. That's the type of candidate we want to go against Walker....one that doesn't have a snowball's chance! Then again, anyone they put up will be soundly defeated.

Falks pick in secret by teacher union leadership which was based on her agreement to void act 10 just goes to prove that the whole Walker recall effort is based on restoring the gravy train for union leaders. Still can't understand why nobody has started a class action lawsuit against he WEA for their abusive fraudulent action in forcing local education boards to accept the WEA bloated cost health insurance for the teachers for a long period of time.

Another story showing that WEA does not represent the interests of individual teachers. WEA doesn't look out for students either. WEA looks out for WEA.

I know when I want accurate news, I turn to right-wing political consultants. They tell the truth and never spin! http://bloggingblue.com/2010/05/13/kyle-maichle-plays-fast-and-loose-with-the-facts/ http://foxtrot-echo.blogspot.com/2010/05/kyle-maichle-just-making-shit-up.html

RECALL KATHLEEN FALK!!!...Oh wait...The democrats already are! LMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

All that matters is that she is willing to be a union puppet and will raise taxes to pay for teachers benefits through the union. Her record speaks for itself. Personally I am pleased with this endorsement. She give Gov Walker a great chance to win the recall. All the teachers can do is say Baah, as the sheep follow the Union leadership. The sad thing is these mindless sheep are teaching our kids.

Be careful what you ask for, You may get anothe failed Obama. Just look at how bad a leader we have . He made everything so much worse for all of us and has not fix anything..We now know how corrupt he is and how bad judgement he has............................http://www.judicialwatch.org/corrupt-politicians-lists/washingtons-ten-most-wanted-corrupt-politicians-for-2011/

When are Union leaders going to stop shooting themselves in the foot and start listening to the rank and file? This is not just WEAC. UAW, AFSCME, ect. all need to pluck their collective heads from their butts and listen to the membership whose dues pay their salaries if they want to survive at all. The membership are not sheep.

Poor teachers hopping to puker up to walker to save there job . How sad is that. these teachers are they type teachers that are harming our children.

Unions never listen to their rank and file. They generally follow the money or power like all unions do. Members are their to provide them with money and voting blocks so they can push business or tax payers around. Back in the day it served a purpose to protect workers from bad conditions and lousey pay but with todays world economies and competition they are useless drags on the tax payers and industry.

This story is untrue. Van hollen won by cheating of the waukesha county clerk as the prosser investiagtion showed the world. These teachers hate higher wages. The check is in the mail, walker balanced the budget and wisconsin is better off are more walker lies this walker public relation form as told us.

Unions exist to protect teachers from an often unreasonable public that is never satisfied. The average citizen, for the most part, is only interested in the schools as long as their child is in school. Schools, to their detriment, rarely say no to the public's demands. School board meetings provide a forum for anyone with an axe to grind to vent. Consequently, the public dumps more and more on the school to do, that the family used to do, until the schools can no longer deliver the quality citizens feel they are entitled to. This is all done on the cheap, and with much disrespect toward the very teachers they are counting on to deliver what they want. Parents defend their children's poor behavior rather than back the teachers. When you are expected to be something for everyone, you end up being nothing for anyone. If anyone needs a union, it is the teachers that work in the cauldron we call the public schools.

teachers are revolting against hirer wages and better working conditions. The check is in the mail and walker balanced the budget, it was all about the budget, the world is falt and many more GOP lies. How stupid do they think we are. we are nor all republicans. We can tie are own shoes. The headline should says stupid republicans heres more nonesense for you to beleive. Come on stupid .

Unions exist to protect the liberals they buy. This isn't 1933 - we have labor laws. Unions are the most worthless, anti-worker, anti-success, anti-American enterprises that exist today.

I can't find anyone who thinks WEAC's endorsement of Falk was a good idea. This is like Trump endorsing Rommney. This is such an affirmation of all conservative criticism of WEAC and unions in general. I can't imagine WEAC doing anything more harmful to itself, especially with regard to voluntary association. As a clergy person who has oft witnesses his national leadership--even with representatives voting--act in ways that were insensitive to the broader constituency, I can only imagine the number of educators who are saying, "OK, see ya!"

Greg...Union teachers "ripping off" the taxpayers? Where are you going to find such an inexpensive babysitting service for your kids? Rejoice that your schools are as good as they are. Teachers don't set the curriculum that you feel is missing so much practical stuff, your school board does, with state mandates. Teachers only teach what they are told to teach. If the people could get away with it, they'd pay the teachers nothing. Teachers wouldn't be allowed to marry, and they'd have to do all janitorial work at the sufferance of the community. Teachers didn't take a vow of poverty. Even though they are described as "dedicated", it is not the priesthood. If people's attitudes and expectations don't get toned down, you will never be able to get people to become teachers. You CAN home school, but that has a lot of inconveniences for parents. It would be great if parents did their jobs reliably with their kids so they were school-ready. You read the papers; parents are not doing their part. Kids are rude and unprepared, and the parents defend their kids instead of backing the teacher and having higher expectations of their child's behavior. You ought to spend some time in a high school or middle school. In many ways, kids have changed a lot since you were in school. Quality teaching takes time and requires concentration. Don't fill the teacher's day with whatever you don't want to deal with. As long as this is true, unions will be needed.

Greg...Even in unions teachers don't get to announce what salary they want and the community has to give it. Arbitrators make the decisions. It's not me that you hear crying. You're hearing the communities who want to do everything on the cheap and expect miracles in return. You're right, not everyone is beating on the teachers, but there are enough that you won't find anyone who will want to teach in your schools. Keep this up, and only the dregs will be attracted. You'll look back on today like it was a Golden Age. Walker has opened no doors for anyone. The damage he has done will last for a long time, with the politicians who follow him trying not to be blamed for it. P.S. Never say a person is "crying" when they are reporting what is happening. I'd hate to see you as a military forward observer reporting on the reality he sees. Would your Colonel tell you you were crying if you said the road ahead looked really bad and the enemy was everywhere? You're not one of those "right wingers" I hear so much about, are you?

BS pure and simple.

What ever cutbacks predecessors attempted were to save the schools. Walker is working off a right-wing ALEC agenda to destroy public schools and make them all private.

And you conveniently leave out abolishing collective bargaining, which no former governor tried or wanted to try.

Gee Greg, what's that on my leg?

So rather than blame walker for his crimes. This guy is pukering up to walker for a better job. He was a lousy teacher anyway. To blame teachers for walkers acts of perversion is more propaganda from the baby killer and torture party. The anti American russian communist tea ruled by Alkita. Blaming teachers is like blaming the child for screaming after the republican totured him without healthcare. The anti christ party is loosers and baby killers. gop good old pervs

Keith real people know better. They are balsting teachers because they hate themselves. They are mommy subsidized rich kids who never have paid taxes posting to keep mommy happy. They think scooter is so cute. mommy is so old she does not remember being a child or compasion. Wicked Witchs

WEAC must endorse Falk, she has seniority. WEAC can't use their own judgment to endorse the best candidate. Using judgment or one's own mind is a sacrilege for WEAC. Candidates must be chosen by a set of rules which eliminates any logic or reason, therefore WEAC can never make a mistake.

Kathleen Falk, I don't know what people are harping about. I can't think of a better canidate to run against Walker.

Will this cause more teachers to voluntarily send WEAC extortion money, I mean dues, or less?

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jearrrwey, Jarweee, Jaiweeee, jawee, jawee.

Seriously, you are the best example of how unions create the worst emotion-envy

Next week I'll be reading the comments section in the Fort Walton Beach paper, and that place is loaded with righties unlike here. You know what? The comments there are no where as insane and out of control as what gets thrown up (literally) here.

Goes to show that when people perceive themselves as marginalized like the righties here in the north shore they lash out.

joweee, joweee, joweee! be careful, you're going to bust a vessel!
