Just like in Wisconsin, newly elected Republican governors and state legislatures in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio -- and yes, here in Florida -- came into office with two words on their lips: “Thank You!” 

Governor Scott and these Republican legislators aren’t, however, thanking the voters. 

They are saying thank you to the corporate CEOs who spent millions getting them elected.

Governor Scott Walker in Wisconsin showed us what these fights really are about. 

Republicans aren't fighting about budget cuts or the economy. They are fighting to deliver political payback for CEO campaign contributions. They are fighting to strip power from union workers and the middle class. They are fighting to ensure the balance of power benefits the haves, and not the have-nots.

While this fight might have started in Wisconsin, it’s not ending there. Governor Scott and Republican governors and lawmakers across the country are following Walker’s lead. They are using threats of budget cuts to take power away from the middle class. 

Fight back by sending Governor Scott a message. Say no to political payback, and say yes to a strong middle class.
