MADISON, Wis. -- Democrats kept the Wisconsin Assembly up overnight with a droning filibuster in another desperate attempt to block the Republican governor's bold plan to strip public sector workers of nearly all of their bargaining rights.

Americans,

Conservatives, Republicans and Independentes, not even when faced with derogatory OBAMACARE have stopped the House and Senate like that.

This dirty people do not care about the Country or the State. Their only goal is to keep their right to impose, not "bargain" but to impose their salary on the people.

Conservatives, Republicans and Independentes,Back the GOP. Move to take "Colective Bargaining" out of the political field. This is one of the most powerfull political tool Democrats hold. Cut it thru the roots.

Collective bargaining on benefits....

Gee, did we, the American people have collective bargaining rights over 0bamacare?

No, instead we were lied too and continue to have it rammed down our throats. From the imposed taxes, fines, or fees...to the increased rates due to the monstrosity of government regulation...

We did not have collective bargaining on what we must pay for our benefits as imposed by the federal government.

Rush had a liberal caller the other day trying to claim this is a ‘tax increase’ on a select few...Rush missed the opportunity to point out the tax increase imposed on Americans by 0bamacare regulation.

I am done with these union workers. This behavior by the drummed up special interest group of the Democrats is unacceptable.

I refuse to remain a slave to a public union. All I keep thinking about is RobinHood and how these union folks remind me or the ‘kept’ people of Nottingham. Who used the tax collector to take the last bite of bread from the mouths of children.

“...the Republican governor’s bold plan”

Who writes this cr%&?!!

How about “the Republican Governor’s commonsense plan....”

Didn’t I read somewhere that some folks were starting some recall petitions vs. Democrats in Wisconsin? For Wisconsinites, is that possible and how does it work?

Hello Lying ASSociated Press,

Your phrase "nearly all of their bargaining rights" is a lie intended to deceive the sheeple into believing that public unions have some inherent right to take without limit from the taxpayers. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Collective bargaining is a privilege accorded to these public employee unions by the state, a mere commodity to be bought and sold with political power. Like "healthcare", collective bargaining is NOT a fundamental, natural-law right. It is not like, say, the right to keep and bear arms, or the right to a trial by jury.

Since collective bargaining by public unions is a privilege, it can be taken away. And when we don't have the money for such a luxury, it should be taken away.

So take your pro-Communist-Party propaganda and shove it.

If these temper tantrum throwing, Medicine hiding from, duries avoiding, Democrats can vote from out of state, and can filibuster from out of state, than they should be considered as being ‘In Quorum’ from out of state. and if they don’t vote from out of state, then their vote (after voting and filibustering from out of state) should be registered as as an (In Quorum) ‘No vote’.
