A Message to the Republicans Who Are Now In Control Of My State

A message to the Republicans who are now in control of my state:

What guarantees can you give me, now that you've got the power to lead Wisconsin and the nation, that my mother who has cancer and is on the state high risk insurance pool will still be able to afford the treatments that are keeping her alive?

What guarantee can you give me that I'll find a job soon so I can get off unemployment, which, if I had to pay our mortgage on top of my college loans, would not provide me with enough income to stay in my house?

What guarantees can you give me to assure me that the basic things our city needs-- like education, road construction, economic development, and health & human services-- will be provided and paid for?

What guarantees can you give me that the government will not place my tax dollars into the hands of greedy companies who are irresponsible and unreliable?

If you can guarantee those things, then you can make a positive mark on this state. If not, I hope the people of Wisconsin will never again fall for tricks such as these.
