Democratic State Senators who protested the budget repair bill by leaving the state have been found.

Care to have some fun? Call and ask to be transfered to them. Jamming the hotel switchboard will make them unwanted guests in a hurry.

Clock Tower Resort and Conference Center 7801 East State Street Rockford, IL 61108 (815) 398-6000

Ask for: Tim Carpenter, Spencer Coggs, Tim Cullen, Joe Erpenbach, Dave Hansen, Jim Holperin, Robert Jauch, Dan Kapanke, Chris Larson, Julie Lassa, Mark Miller, Fred Riser, Lena Taylor, Kathleen Vinehout, or Robert Wirch.

I believe it's time to refer to "Organized Labor" more correctly as "Organized Crime".

There now is clearly NO DIFFERENCE!

Haul them back in handcuffs and frog march their asses in handcuffs back to the senate chamber. Then handcuff them to their desks until the votes are taken.

How much would you like to bet that they’re billing the taxpayers for the trip and the stay in the resort?

Apparently, these Liberal Elitist disgraces didn’t hear We The People of Wisconsin last November. Their shoving it to the taxpaying citizens of their state MUST be used against them in 2012.

The Democrats who left the state to avoid their duties should be forced from office. They are SCUM!

This is outrageous and unacceptable, yet, they will get away with it and probably charge the taxpayers for the trip.
