Behind closed doors, Scott Walker, the Republican who has been governor for about six weeks, calmly described his intent to forge ahead with the plans that had set off the uprising: He wants to require public workers to pay more for their health insurance and pensions, effectively cutting the take-home pay of many by around 7 percent.
...
Scott Fitzgerald, the Republican leader in the State Senate, slipped out of the Capitol Wednesday morning with his sunglasses on, head down. Protesters had gone to his home earlier in the week, forcing his family (including his wife, a school guidance counselor) to go elsewhere for a bit.

I was just about to post Lock and Load and then scanned through the last page of postings - BINGO!!!
It is public sector union busing time. They are paid by us - States, unlike Barry Hussein Soetoro, cannot just PRINT MONEY.

The police are looking for the Democrat Senators everyone of them have declined to show up for the vote. They can't vote until at least one State Seanator is present for the vote!
What a bunch of KRAP!

Do you have any links of such signs?
I’m collecting pics of liberal signs which showcase their hypocrisy when the criticize tea party signs.

I can’t call anyone who survives off of private sector tax dollars “middle class”.
“Government class” seems more appropriate.

Which equates to 273k considering they only work 9 months out of the year.
Is this the insufficient salary these slugs have been complaining about for generations?

Why not cut welfare payments by 100 percent instead of working folks. Yes I know they are evil government workers but they are WORKING. Welfare recipients are NOT. FREEPERS WAKE UP!!!!
To: Carling
good point, caught up in the generality of what reality should be causes the exact muddiness you clarified.

I've been trying to call for two days to Gov Walker's state office number. It is constantly busy. I am going to send an email instead, plus call my state rep & state senator (both Republicans) to tell them to stay the course & stay strong, and not give into the socialist-marxist-commie pig unions & their thugs.
And Oh BTW, 0b0z0 & the demoRATS, just STFU with your rhetoric & comments that are doing nothing more than to inflame the protestors.

Could this be the beginning of TEOTWAWKI?

I like how this Kim Hoffman then goes on to say she might have to find a job in the private sector if she takes a union pay cut.
Yes, Dear, $105k jobs are all over the place out here in the real world.

If so, go to my comment (#1) and see the video. Pause it when needed and screencap it.
If not, I will do it for you, tonight.

If the President of the Senate (Speaker of the House as well) enacts a Call of the Senate, he can have the Sergeant of Arms call the authorities to pick up these libs and drag them back into the Senate Chambers. That is State Law. I say pick the libs up by their belt loops and give them a big wedgie.

The lines have been clearly drawn: you’re either with the unions or you’re on the side of the taxpayers ... and the children.

That is State Law. I hope the President of the Senate & the Speaker of the House do exactly that, and drag these socialist demoRAT bastards back to the capital in chains if necessary. You can be 100% certain that the demoRAT socialists wouldn't blink in a moment, to do this if the roles were reversed. I hope & pray the Repubs stay strong & on course and NEVER give in or capitulate to these socialist bastards! I called my WI state rep & state senator to encourage them and tell them to stay strong & on course.
