I wish I could I’d meet with every member of your Union and tell them how important their work is. It is one of the most important tasks since the civil rights movement. As a Manager at the Eastman Kodak Company I was responsible for instructing my employees how being in a Union was not to their advantage. I taught them exactly how great their compensation package was and how it was as good as any union workers. I also covered the wonderful retirement package they would have when they retired. Most importantly I taught them that if the joined a union they’d lose their voice and would not be able to speak with management. What a fool I was as I SPOKE WITH SUCH AUTHORITY. After a huge reduction and retirement of thousands our Life Insurance was CANCELED, The Dental Coverage Canceled, the medical benefits taken from our spouse with a huge cost increase to the retiree. It turned out that the voice they told us we had would not be listened to or was so weak it would not be heard. So we actually had NO VOICE AT ALL. Now we have no system to gather the voices together and no system to apply pressure to get action. We all had forgotten that it was the Unions that gave us the power in the USA and WE NEED YOU TO FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT. If I could afford it I’d get on a plane and talk at your rallies. I admire you all for what you are doing. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK….. Edward A. Gartz [email removed]

Prosser Jr., on Tuesday’s ballot. If you don’t like the job the governor is doing, vote for the challenger, Assistant Attorney General Joanne F. Kloppenburg.
Actually, it’s not the race for Supreme Court that makes this election interesting. In many voters’ minds, the election on Tuesday will be a referendum on the governor’s performance.
It’s the first time voters — not protesters, not pollsters, not national columnists or television pundits — will be able to give the governor either a “thumbs up” or a “thumbs down.”
Republicans and t-partiers are serving a the small minority of rich. “We haven’t had a problem raising funds. We’re fully funded as of now. We’re getting national support; it’s just national individual support.” They have raised at, this point 11 million dollars, for recall electionsif each dollar could buy a vote they'd be golden, but unfortunately for them votes aren't sold that cheaply here in Wisconsin.
“If Republicans do not take this very seriously, they could be in trouble here,” says Steve Baas of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, which supports Walker’s budget reforms.
They admit they can raise money but that "Unions are good at things like gathering signatures and chartering buses to take people to the polls." That's why they needed to cripple the Unions with red tape and laws of dubious legality.

I'm currently in the United States with the intention of contact with teachers who could be interested in making an educational project for the next academic course 2011-2012, so that science students from Malaga and USA could make a collaborative work and establish a rewarding relationship, using the new technologies.
I´ve already done a science project to enable our students to meet students from another country, while working together and improve their science skills.
If you are interested, I could sent you the project and we could change it, since it´s a flexible project.
I´d like to have the opportunity, also, to visit some schools in Usa to learn about the U.S. educational system, the methodologies used, the available resources ... Would appreciate someone gives me the opportunity to make a visit to your school.
My email address is: [email removed]
Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions about it.
Thanks for your attention.
Greetings.
I am doing a survey as part of a project for a graduate course. If you could take a minute to take this survey, I would appreciate it. Thanks so much!

I would like to inform you about a great professional development opportunity coming up at the Franklin Public Library. We are proud to present Michael Sullivan, distinguished teacher, librarian and author of numerous titles on connecting boys with books on August 3, 2011. For more background on Michael, check out his website here: [link removed].
Michael will be presenting 2 different programs, one in the morning and one in the afternoon – Connecting Boys with Books and Why Boys Lit Gets a Bad Rap. Michael doesn’t get to Wisconsin too much, so this is an excellent opportunity to come and get ideas on how to get boys excited about books!
If you are interested in attending sending an email to keri.[email removed].
We hope that you can join us for this great free program on August 3rd!
This program is generously sponsored by the Milwaukee County Federated Library System.
What do you think is the main plight of the American teacher?
We have FREE education-based field trips (many in health & nutrition) in Wisconsin but have noticed a decline in the number of trips taken last year, especially in Milwaukee. Can anyone tell me why? Is it funding (buses)? Testing? What's the education climate like now in WI? Thanks so much for your help!
