BUT IT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN SHARIA...:

Governor Scott Walker, the duly elected son of a preacher, has ruled Wisconsin with religious fervor.

He's successfully managed to compel the state's taxpayers to fund the religious education of students with vouchers--500 this year, 1,000 the next, most of whom were already attending private schools.

Walker's proudly signed a bill into law restricting the reproductive rights of women across the state--though the provision requiring abortion providers to have ready access to surgery rooms has been temporarily struck down by a Seventh Circuit Court injunction.

Even Act 10, Walker's defining piece of anti-labor legislation, which stripped most public union employees of their collective bargaining rights, smacks of an entrenched religiosity that justifies fruitless toil on Earth so that one may earn a living wage in heaven.

It's ultimately up to voters in the Badger State to decide where to draw the line between church and state--or whether to erase it entirely.

Enter: Assembly Joint Resolution 43 and Senate Joint Resolution 38, a proposed "Religious Freedom Amendment" to Article 1, Section 18, of the Wisconsin Constitution which, if it passes the legislature, will be ratified or rejected at the ballot.
