Wisconsin republicans had better not let this crisis GO TO WASTE..
They need to get busy and DO SOME BUSINESS... it should cost the democrats for doing this..
If it don't IT WILL BE REPEATED..

Yes, apparently they can have quite the "Ho Down" without a single dem in attendance.......watch the short bus arrive back in Madison very quickly.....

[UnwashedPeasant]

Here is a summary of legislation proposed in this thread, so as not to let this "crisis go to waste":

CORRUPTION/WASTE

• Cull out the collective bargaining portion of the current budget bill and vote on it as a stand-alone non-budget bill.
• Eliminate State departments that are just arms of the left. The WI equivalent of HHS, EPA, NEA etc and just eliminate them.
• Drug tests for politicians

BASIC FREEDOMS

• Right to Work (teachers, etc., can opt out of the union)
• Open/Concealed Carry, no permit required
• Personhood Rights (maybe as a Constitutional Amendment)

EDUCATION

• School Choice (Vouchers might be considered fiscal and require quorum)
• End teacher tenure (including state colleges)

IMMIGRATION

• Check immigration status anyone using Emergency Room for preventive care, and deport offenders
• Anchor babies

ELECTIONS

• POTUS candidates MUST show a LEGAL Birth Certificate.
• Photo ID to vote
• Clear the voter rolls and make everyone reregister with authentic ID.
• Prevent students at the UW from voting in Madison & also absentee at their parents’ addresses
• Serious penalties on those who vote illegally.
• No more open primaries.
• No more registration on the day of the election.
• No more “provisional” ballots.
• If there are more ballots in a precinct than voters, it is considered automatic fraud.
• Official found guilty of election fraud loses their state pension, benefits, etc
• Runaway legislators succession: Declare the empty seats vacant and call special elections.
• Presidential electors assigned by congressional districts (used in Maine and Nebraska) rather than winner-take-all.

WELFARE

• Sterilization required to stay on Welfare over 3 years
• No more food stamps for fat people.
• And people receiving welfare can not own pets.
• Drug, alcohol, and nicotine testing for ANYONE on any kind of public assistance.

LOCAL ISSUES

• Eliminate 10% ethanol mandate
• Eliminate emissions testing for SE Wisconsin
• Allow spear fishing for everyone.

FISCAL ISSUES

• “What happens if nobody calls for a quorum and all votes are by voice vote?”

[xzins]

Any state dumb enough to allow a minority to control the schedule by willful absence to manipulate a quorum rule is a state that worships the status quo.

[elpadre]

will they be able to keep the union thugs out of the chambers??

[JSDude1]

They should pass ALL that they can in the absence; and pass the most conervative overreaching legislation they legally CAN, they SHOULD DO without the Democrats, no socialists, no sexual pervert supporters, no progressives opposing them!~

J.S.

[GeronL]

Is abolishing unions in the state an economic/spending bill??

Just wondering.

[hondact200]

Put into law. whenever a President Visit Wisconsin he must submit a Legal Birth certificate, A Statement from Doctor or Nurse present at the time of birth,
any and all alias names,
any and all social numbers used,
all school records, including elementary, secondary, college, graduate (legal transcripts in sealed envelopes from college)
finanacial aid transcripts from college
all passports used in lifetime,
statement of earnings - including book royalities and advances
Air Force One is not allowed to land within the State of Wisconsin - because of global warming - the president must use one presidentail vehicle, that gets 40 mpg.
anyone else have any ideas for a law regarding presidential visits

(The people of Wisconsin throught the republican House very well could eliminate the presidency of Bary Soetoro AKA Barack Huseein Obama, AKA Barack Obama II Mohammed Soetororack

[ratsreek]

Maybe.

But there’s a pub senator named Schultz who has broken ranks now. This is just what the rats were waiting for. Schultz is now saying that maybe they should just make the collective bargaining component of the bill temporary - and have it sunset in two years.

Effin’ spineless pubs ALWAYS cave if the rats just wait them out. Either somebody needs to bitchslap this Schultz or he should be primary-targeted as soon as possible. I am so sick of that brand of pub I could just scream.

[Pikachu_Dad]

MOVE THEIR OFFICES TO THE CLOSET...

[fwdude]

What if WI threw a legislative session and nobody (DemoRat) came?

Oh, how much could be accomplished.

[Livfreeordi]

So..the Wisconsin Senate will reconvene and can vote on other bills?

Great!

Time to turn the screws and cram through EVERY piece of legislation that is absolutely anathema to liberal Democrats... without ANY opposition whatsoever...until the absentee Democrat sneators can’t take the humiliation any more and return with their tails between their legs!

[April Lexington]

Democrats are making a mockery of Democracy. When they have power, they ram stuff through without a bit of concern for the position of the minority. When the GOP is in power, the Democrats just walk away and jam up the system. Democrats hate democracy. They love power. Either we DEMAND that they participate in the system the way it was designed or we remove them from power. When will the GOP grow up?
