The Michigan Republican legislature has been loaded with 39 bills they are shot gunning, Wisconsin-style through the Republican controlled Legislature.
Just in case you don’t get it yet, this is NOT about just the collective bargaining and unions, its ALL ABOUT 2012 and national party politics, the troubles in many States be damned.
Welcome to the Republican Party National laboratory for US States, Newt Gingrich to the Republican Governor Association:
The challenge for us is to turn rejection of the left into replacement of the left.Washington is trapped in obsolete policies, regulations and ideologies.
However, in your states, you will have an opportunity to provide creative leadership and to organize innovative, creative citizens in new models of solutions appropriate to the age of the iPhone, iPad, You Tube, Facebook, Twitter, Google and text messaging.
America will transform much faster in the 50 state laboratories of citizen-led government than in the centralized, bureaucratic, interest group dominated system of Washington.We need your leadership in creating experiments of modernization and transformation.
As Governors, you have an opportunity to lead your states in transformational change while Washington is held captive by the reactionary interest groups, ideology and bureaucracies of the past.
