STFU, Conservatives: Democrats Leaving Wisconsin to Halt Vote

liberal-lad:

As Wisconsin’s public workers demonstrate in Madison against a controversial bill to cut benefits, another group on the state payroll is leaving town: Democratic lawmakers. The bill, proposed by Republican Gov. Scott Walker, would hit teachers and other public-sector workers…

As a proud liberal Wisconsinite, this made me grin way too much when I heard it today. Literally made my day. Apparently they all left together on a bus, which is absolutely hilarious to me. They needed 20 people present for a quorum. The Democrats left them with 19. I am thrilled that the Democrats are actually LISTENING to their constituents & it makes me proud to see how many people are rallying. Honestly though, this issue scares me senseless due to the amount of power the governor has right now. But I guess that’s what you get when 52% of the vote elects someone with a 50% voter turn out, Koch backing & delusional election campaign points. Let’s remember this & let it keeps us charged for any upcoming elections. Keep fighting the good fight, Democrats & allies! We won’t go down. Wisconsin deserves better. We are the future of this great state.
