Protesters find missing state Senate Democrats in Illinois (Tea Party Bounty Hunters!)

One of the 14 Wisconsin senators who has been hiding out in Illinois with his Democratic colleagues says protesters have discovered the hotel where many of the lawmakers are staying.

State Sen. Chris Larson said Tuesday that the senators were trying to keep their locations a secret because they were concerned for their safety. For example, he said, someone e-mailed him threatening to burn down his house.

Larson was speaking by cell phone Tuesday when protesters pulled up in front of his hotel. He said he and his fellow Democrats would likely move, although he wasn't sure whether that meant going to a different hotel or a different city.

The Democrats left the state Thursday to prevent a vote on a Republican Gov. Scott Walker's sweeping bill that would limit unions' collective bargaining

If I did, it would be a hunt.

“They were at the Heritage Inn & Suites in Harvard but have since left heading south in a black Mazda Wisconsin plates 844-JBA heading toward Marengo.”

Any updates on this?

Leave it to a Democrat politician to straddle the line and take up more than their own parking space.

Sorry, I misread your original post. I thought you were referring to the Wisconsin demonrats.

Quick, get Joey Greco and the Cheaters crew on the case.

Put GPS trackers on the Rats cars and install hidden cameras in the rooms.

I can dream, can't I? LOL

I just hope these guys are filling up their autos with mandated ethanol gas so as to leave a smaller carbon footprint in their travels.

True, but from Madison, WI to IL is about 90 miles - to MI it's about 300...
