On Monday, August 16, the day Obama comes to Milwaukee to raise funds for Tom Barrett's campaign via a high-priced luncheon event, Scott Walker will be holding a Brown Bag rally.
This rally will be a gathering of grassroots supporters for real change in Wisconsin. Unlike the Barrett event, it won't cost you hundreds of dollars to attend.
You can't get in the door of Milwaukee's U.S. Cellular Arena to attend Barrett's fundraiser for less than $250. That's the cost of a single ticket. Of course, you can pay much, MUCH more. For instance, a picture with Obama will cost you at least $10,000.
Clearly, the Barrett - Obama luncheon is not an event affordable to those suffering the current economic hell that is the Democrats' Wisconsin and Obama's America.
Walker's rally is open to all. It's about common sense. It will focus on the absolute idiocy of Jim Doyle and Tom Barrett's pet project, the $810 million high speed train from Milwaukee to Madison.
Wauwatosa – Scott Walker, Milwaukee County executive and candidate for governor announced today he will be holding a Brown Bag rally with grassroots supporters on Monday, August 16th at 2:30pm in front of the Hoan Bridge. The Brown Bag Rally will allow supporters from across Wisconsin to send a message to President Obama, Mayor Barrett, and Gov. Doyle that the people of Wisconsin do not want the $810 million high speed train from Milwaukee to Madison, and instead, want the money to be used to fix our state’s crumbling roads and bridges.
“Tom Barrett is President Obama’s handpicked successor to continue the devastating policies of Jim Doyle, and they are all three in lock step in promoting the $810 million high speed boondoggle train,” said Walker. “The people of Wisconsin hope the president’s visit will prompt a change of heart about how their hard earned money should be spent. If I’m elected governor, I will stop this train and continue to advocate this money be spent on roads and bridges instead.”

The crumbling Hoan Bridge is a great place for Walker's rally.
It's mindboggling that some wanted to get rid of this important bridge rather than repair it; yet spending a billion dollars on a train no one will use is considered a good idea by the likes of Doyle and Barrett and others of their ilk.
Obama is out of touch with the people. Doyle is out of touch, too. (Thank God he'll soon be out of office.) And Barrett, Obama's hand puppet and Doyle's clone, is equally out of touch.
These Leftists need to start listening to the people. They need to get out of their liberal bubble. They ignore us at their own peril.
The idiotic high speed train is the embodiment of the sort of policies promoted by Democrats that are dragging down Wisconsin and the country.
We need change now.
Walker can deliver.

I would use the high speed rail every weekday. Don't attempt to speak for all of Milwaukee.
You seem to forget that Amtrak and Greyhound have stayed in business for years. High speed rail will be an ideal alternative and addition to these methods of transportation.
The Hoan Bridge should be rebuilt, as well. We can all afford the few dollars a year it will cost us individually in taxes. If you're the type to complain about a few dollars a year for the improvement of our city, our city must not be worth much to you.
When I wrote that no one will use it, I was employing hyperbole.
I'm not speaking for all of Milwaukee. I speak for myself.
I don't know a single person who would use the boondoggle. Not one. That includes liberal friends and family members.
That doesn't matter because I admit I'm drawing from an extremely limited sample. However, what really does matter to me is the enormous yearly taxpayer cost of maintaining and operating high speed rail.
In terms of a cost–benefit analysis, it's a miserable failure.
