Madison, WI becomes Greece! Home - by Mr.Pinko - February 17, 2011 - 13:35 UTC - 21 Comments Democrats will not show up to vote in Madison, WI STOPPING the vote against unions. Police are out searching for the no-show Democrats. One Democrat needs to be present for a vote to be held. Meanwhile, the Teacher’s Union, FireFighters, and other Unions are out in force to protest the VOTE! Fox News Megyn Kelly has been reporting the story. MORE BREAKING STORY HERE from LEFT-WING NEWS “It’s Like Cairo Has Moved To Madison”: WI Workers Strike As Lawmakers Mull Anti-Union Bill Thousands of state workers have inundated Wisconsin’s state capitol as the legistature prepares to vote on a measure that would elminate the collective bargaining rights of teachers, nurses, firefighters and other goverment employees. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) said: “[It's] like Cairo has moved to Madison these days.” Other right-wingers have similarly painted striking workers as “rioters” and “thugs.” Wisconsin’s GOP-controlled state Senate reportedly has enough votes to pass the bill, proposed by Gov. Scott Walker, by Friday. So far Walker has taken a hard line, saying he had no plans to appease the protesters by modifying the plan: “About 10,000 teachers, nurses, city workers and firefighters chanted “Kill the Bill” and held signs outside that said ‘Recall Walker,’ while others squeezed shoulder-to-shoulder inside the capitol rotunda as a key legislative panel held hearings on the bill.” Thursday marked the second day that many of Wisconsin’s public school systems cancelled classes while teachers strike. President Obama called the bill an “assault on unions.” UPDATE: “We need to tone down the rhetoric” repeated by every Lefty in the U.S. Civility NOW! iowntheworld.com
