Walker intends to charge citizens fee to protest

these people are managers not statesmen. They only see things through the eyes of a pure businessmen and proper cost/revenue analysis. It's becoming so pervasive it's rather sickening how "money" is trumping every other element to human existence. yuck!

whats the saying about sunlight being the best disinfectant? if only the public knew who was behind all the crazy far-right, off the charts legislation. instead they are made ignorant by faux "news" and their ilk. Godspeed ows
