If you want to get a sick note so that you can continue to protest in Wisconsin, there are doctors that will happily (and perhaps illegally) oblige you:

So much for those democratic ethics! I’m sure Nancy Pelosi would be proud. No really, she probably would.

What integrity! If these are the role models our kids get when they go to public school I say we need vouchers to fund more private schools!

To ALL Wisconsin School teachers...What kind of example are you portraying to your students? What are you teaching the children? As teachers, how are you to lead? by example! Fraud, deception, lying, whatever you want to call it, this is not the example that you should be setting for the students you are teaching.

This is a sad state of affairs in Wisconsin. The teachers and their union thugs are putting their selfish desires above those of the children they have "sacrificed" all to teach. Your actions right now are certainly speaking louder than your words. And, they are appalling.

"He who is void of virtuous attachments in private life is, or very soon will be, void of all regard of his country. There is seldom an instance of a man guilty of betraying his country who had not before lost the feeling of moral obligations in his private connections… [P]rivate and public vices are in reality… connected… Nothing is more essential to the establishment of manners in a State than that all persons employed in places of power and trust be men of [exceptional] character. The public cannot be too curious concerning the characters of public men." Samuel Adams

The real reason the Union big shots are upset is because Gov. Walker's changes include people not being forced to join the Union. The Unions will lose billions if this policy spreads to other states.

All giving or getting fraudulent notes should be fired and legal action should follow.

Perhaps a note from their psychiatrist would be more appropriate.

Know what'd be even funnier? The doctors getting notes from the states they're from, telling them the state bar has permanently revoked their licenses to practice, due to malpractice and unethical behavior, and the teachers getting one from their State telling them they've been terminated, a complaint of their unethical practices forwarded to the Department of Education, and a bar placed on any future state employment. Those would be some real knee-slappers.

That is the thing, they are not "fake" . Fake would be filling out a Doctors note that was not signed by an actual doctor.

These are Doctors wilfully committing fraud, and breaking their ethical oaths. Personally the MOST that should happen to the Teachers is that the "notes" be invalidated and then what ever course of action needed for the absence up to and including termination for illegal protesting should be followed, but the notes should not be the source of the disciplinary action on the teachers.

Now the doctors on the other hand, at MINIMUM should get a couple months of Suspension from practising any Medicine, and possibly charged with criminal fraud and permanent revocation of their medical lic.

"On Saturday, a group of men and women in lab coats purporting to be doctors were handing out medical excuse notes, without examining the ‘patients.’

“I asked this doctor what he was doing and he told me they were handing out excuses to people who were feeling sick due to emotional, mental or financial distress,” said Christian Hartsock. “They never performed an exam–he asked me how I was feeling today and I said I’m from California and I’m not used to the cold, so he handed me a note.”

Notice where Christian is from....California. Not Wisconsin. "Nuff said.

Proof positive that Obama and his union thugs are out of control.

Ahhhh Professor O'Barry the great uniter. I remember the clueless Libs saying how he would untie the country and usher a new harmony in America.

This just shows that we have nothing in common with the government gangsters, con artists, and looters.

Nick is that an intentional typo in your post? I love it! Obama is certainly keeping up on his promise to "untie" this nation...

How is this ok?......... I would never allow my child to be taught by someone of such low character. How do you expect the kids to come to school when the teachers are pulling this crap?

LIzzy, can I call you Lizzy? What those people are really sick of is the thought of having to work for a living and the nightmare of the rest of keeping more of money by not paying their stinking wages with our taxes.

Union bashing my ass.

They should all be fired, and their character as it pertains to the certain work they do should be demeaned for life... ;x...
