Wisconsin Unions and Democrats Lose as Senate Voted Wednesday Night to End Nearly all Collective Bargaining Rights from Public Workers

It has finally happened … the Wisconsin Senate passed the Union bill that strips nearly all collective bargaining rights for public workers, without the presence of the Democrat “Fleebaggers. As reported by the AP, the union bill passed  18-1.

The bill had been stymied after all 14 Senate Democrats fled to Illinois three weeks ago, preventing the chamber from having enough members present to pass it. Walker introduced it to plug a $137 million budget shortfall.

The Senate requires a quorum of 20 to take up any measures that spend money. But a special committee of lawmakers from the Senate and Assembly voted late Wednesday afternoon to take all the spending measures out of the legislation and the Senate approved it minutes later, 18-1.

 It’s Finally over as the fleebagger are left out in the cold, or Illinois.

The reaction from Unions …  from J-S Online, AFL-CIO says GOP used ‘nuclear option’. However, it is king of hard for those on the LEFT to cry fowl, when 14 Democrat “fleebaggers”ran away from their jobs as Wisconsin Senators and hid out in Illinois. “Rigged the vote”? Who was it that tried to circumvent the democrat process by hiding.

Said Neuenfeldt: “Republicans have exercised the nuclear option to ram through their bill attacking Wisconsin’s working families in the dark of night. (Gov.) Walker and the Republicans acted in violation of state open meetings laws, and tonight’s events have demonstrated they will do or say anything to pass their extreme agenda that attacks Wisconsin’s working families.”

Clean Up Day in Wisconsin: Tea Party Members Plan “It’s Time to Take Out the Trash Day” at Wisconsin Capitol

Tea Party to the rescue to help clean up the mess left by union protesters.

It was reported the other day that it may cost up to $7.5 million in order to clean up the mess and restore the damage done at the Wisconsin Capitol building caused by the disrespectful union protesters. However, Wisconsin Tea Party members are planning a “It’s Time to Take out the Trash Day”at the Wisconsin State Capitol to clean up the mess left by the teachers unions and other protesting union members during their sleepover.

One has to wonder why these protesters were not fines or arrested for defacing public property and graffiti. Since when is it ok and legal to deface property? Why should all Wisconsin tax payers have to pay for damage done by unions? Send them the bill, you know who they are. The union protesters turned the Wisconsin capitol building into their own person pig sty, see pics HERE.

Its Time To Take Out the Trash Facebook.

As stated at Sistertoldja, it speaks volumes of the character of the Tea Party folks, who would go and help clean up the mess left by inconsiderate union protesters. If one ever wondered what separates the Tea Party from the LEFT and unions, look no further. But of course, where is the MSM reporting that the Tea Party is picking up the trash of the unions? I thought the LEFT was supposed to be so “GREEN”.

It’s not about partisanship or protests, but pride.

It is time to take out the trash… literally. In true Flash Mob fashion, on Sunday at exactly 1300 hours (1:00 pm for you non-military types) we will do an extensive police call (pick up the trash) around the capitol square. Regardless of the state the grounds are in, we will do this as both a literal and symbolic way to show our respect for our home.

TEA Partiers know how this is done. It is time to show OUR pride for OUR state OUR way and be the example.

 TEA PARTY TO THE RESCUE …

ARE YOU A STATE SENATOR FROM WISCONSIN … Hideaway in Rockford, IL!

And every one thought that Rockford was just known as the the former home of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League Rockford Peaches, ala ‘A league of their Own’. Not only is their no crying in baseball … there are no Wisconsin state Democrat Senators in Wisconsin.

Looks like Illinois is taking advanatge of Wisconsins AWOL “fleebagger” Senators. This is classic,  check out what the Rockford, Illinois Tourism Board did … “Hideaway in Rockford” with a special appearance from Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick.

Recall Process begins for Seven Wisconsin AWOL “Fleebagger” Lawmakers

Not only do elections have consequences, so do actions, or lack of them …

As reported at JS Online, recall efforts have begun on seven of the 14 AWOL Democrat lawmakers that have fled the state to avoid their job duties of representing the people of Wisconsin. They need 16,000 signatures per senator to force a recall election. The people certainly do not approve of the actions of the lawmaker, this might be interesting and send a clear message that this type of behavior will not be tolerated, no matter what the issue is.

The clock is now running for groups trying to collect enough signatures to trigger recall elections against seven Democratic senators, state officials said today.

Reid Magney, spokesman for the Government Accountability Board, said local groups have officially registered recall committees with his agency to try to recall Sen. Bob Wirch of Kenosha and Jim Holperin of Eagle River.

In addition, a Utah group, American Recall Coalition, has registered electronically to set up recall committees against Wirch and five other Senate Democrats – Lena Taylor of Milwaukee, Mark Miller of Monona, Julie Lassa of Stevens Point, Fred Risser of Madison and Dave Hansen of Green Bay.

Missing, AWOL Wisconsin Democrat Law Makers Found Hiding Out At Best Western in Rockford, IL

So this is democracy? Wisconsin state Democrats hiding out, AWOL, and not doing their jobs?

As the protests go on at the state House in Madison, WI over angry union folks upset over the fact that they will have to contribute more for their healthcare and pensions, like regular workers, the Wisconsin state 14 Democrat law makers skilled town to avoid a vote. NICE. Please tell me that state tax payers do not have to pay them for them not showing up to work? Not so great moments in Deomcracy … when the going gets tough, the Demcorats flee the state.

Hat Tip: Gateway Pundit

However, as reported at the Gateway Pundit, the missing, AWOL 14 democrats were found hiding out in a Clock Tower Best Western in Rockford, IL. They fled the state? What is this a new version of The Fugitive? Are democrats blaming a one arm man for their actions? How absurd can these people get? How bad you ask? When Hot Air can use an 80′s Bon Jovi video of “Runaway” as a comparison … one knows they have reached a new level of ridiculousness. Oh my, an even more absurd comparison comes from Sundries Shack with a Monty Python reference. Nice!

Our sister station in Rockford, WREX spoke with lawmakers there. WREX reports one lawmaker said, “It’s kind of everyone for themselves.”

Democratic Sen. Tim Cullen said, “We felt that this was our only way to delay the legislation for at least a couple days to get people to better understand it; people of all walks of life to understand it.”

 Are you serious? Instead of doing their job and participating in a vote to help save the state form a fiscal catastrophe, the turned tail and ran. This is priceless, also reported by Jim Hofts … the Rockford Tea Party just chased the Wisconsin democrats out of the Best Western and are tracking their bus. You can run democrats, but you cannot hide.

Believe it or not protesters, to quote President Barack Obama, elections have consequences. Governor Walker won by quite a bit and the GOP was swept into office in the 2010 elections in Wisconsin for a reason.

From the Rockford Tea Party comes the following VIDEO confronting AWOL Democrats. Nice that the WI democrats could take a road trip. How sad is this that we have teachers performing an illegal strike and school children not receiving an education, democrat law makers neglecting their responsibilities and not doing their job and a President who cannot but out of state affairs who are trying to balance a budget, unlike Obama’s lame budget.
