just got off the phone with Wisconsin State Senator Chris Larson, one of the Democrats who has left the capitol in order to stall the GOP's plan to rolll back the bargaining rights of public employees.

they need 20 - there are 19 republicans, they need one democrat to make a quorum so they can vote
When the term “workers” is used I always think communist Russia......
and that is in line with the thinking of the Demorats......
I heard on Fox one of them has to be present.
Yes, apparently, they need 20 people.
There are only 19 Repubs.
And the Sgt at Arms is not allowed to get them, if they are out of state lines, which they are at present.
Sounds like a violation of their oath of office and grounds for removal to me.
please, no celebrations. think of the children...the starving children not getting free school lunches.
they are so dopey and childish.
Now they close Govt which in turn the workers cannot get paid or do their job.
Frigging idiots and why is obama’s website helping them
The comments on that blog are downright depressing.
“Downtrodden workers”? Idiots.
The GOP should start writing tougher bills.
The newsmedia is so disgusting along with TV - ALL of it.
LOL
I’m busy cheering that these greedy people can be revealed to who they really are.
Unproductive leeches, sucking down working Americans hard earned money, to support their unaccountable unAmerican gulag called schools.
They are at a “secure location”.... seems to sound like they are in danger or feel they are the victims here.... go figure.
YOU HAVE TO SHOW UP SOMETIME!
Let the games begin!
GOVERNMENT UNIONS WILL SEE AMERICA DEAD ON THE FLOOR BEFORE THEY GIVE UP THEIR FAT GOVERNMENT SALARIES AND LOTTERY STYLE TAX PAID GOVERNMENT PENSIONS
Private sector
The private sector is being robbed and gang raped by those in government
