Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says he has the votes to pass a bill removing collective bargaining rights for public employees.

Walker says he is open to making changes to the measure, but that he will not "fundamentally undermine the principles" he is proposing.

Senate Republicans met in secret earlier Wednesday in advance of a planned vote on the bill in the Legislature's budget committee.

More than 13,000 protesters descended on the Capitol a day earlier to participate in a 17-hour public hearing. Thousands more came on Wednesday, with hundreds chanting outside his office door, "Recall Walker now!"

Hey Wisconsin Freepers call your legislators and thank them for their support of Scott Walkers Budget Repair Bill.

Find yours here. They love to hear from you. I know I called mine, they thanked me when I called.

Madison is a crap hole. I hated having to go there for training. The cafeteria at 1 West Wilson st. (Ivory Tower of DHS) looked like the bar in starwars. Everyone with pink or blue hair with piercings all over the place. Unreal!

And what’s a student have to do with it?

The teacher's union is claiming that Walker's proposal is a direct attack on students. They stop just short of claiming he's sitting in front of the school with a sniper rifle and shooting kids' heads off. And the students are falling for it.
