I hope I do not offend anyone.....but this is totally funny....the “Runaway Representatives”.
Is there a 1-800 number people can call...”Have You Seen My State Legislator? Please Call 1-800-YOU-WUSS if you find them”

Somebody needs to push an eligibility bill in the state legislature and Obama will bring them back himself.

Here’s my crazy question. Can’t one of the Republicans change his party to Democrat, vote, and then have a change of heart and decide to switch back?? I’m sure it’s not ethical, but neither is playing hide and go seek when you should be doing your job.

Sign me up for the recall effort. They'll come back to WI to defend their privileged positions.

Cant one of the Republicans change his party to Democrat, vote, and then have a change of heart and decide to switch back?? No they need a quorum of 20 senators. They only have 19.

Declare their positions vacant and hold an election next week, Friday (when the evening Muslim prayers are over).

Latest joke going around here:
Wisconsin has declared a special open season on Democrats. They taste just like chicken.
