Update: Wisconsin Dems on the Run Again, Scatter From Illinois Resort

UPDATE:
After rendezvousing at a Best Western resort across the state line in Rockford, Ill., Wisconsin state senate Democrats have reportedly packed up their things and are on the run once again.
WKOW reports:
Sen. Jon Erpenbach tells 27 News that Democrats are leaving Rockford, Illinois right now. He would not say their destination.
They have been at the Clock Tower Resort and Conference Center in Rockford.
Our sister station in Rockford, WREX spoke with lawmakers there. WREX reports one lawmaker said, “It’s kind of everyone for themselves.”
A Rockford tea party activist caught two Wisconsin legislators on camera as they hit the road. When asked why they were not in Wisconsin doing their jobs, one of the lawmakers insisted that stalling the budget legislation was his job:
Gateway Pundit reports that a number of Rockford tea party members followed some Wisconsin lawmakers north from the Rockford hotel where they re-entered Wisconsin.
Democratic state Sen. Jon Erpenbach phoned into WKOW Thursday evening from Illinois to say the Democrats would return to Wisconsin only if the governor delayed action on the budget measure to allow protests to continue.
The Senate is supposed to return to session Friday.
Who knows what will happen?

————-
Democrats from the Wisconsin state legislature who fled the capitol to avoid a tough vote on Gov. Scott Walker’s budget proposal have been found.
According to local NBC affiliate TMJ4, the lawmakers checked into the Best Western Clock Tower Resort in Rockford, Ill.
Wisconsin law enforcement officials have been searching for at least one Democratic senator to bring back to Madison for a quorum required to move forward with the fiscal measure, but every last Democrat boarded buses earlier Thursday and left the state.
With the Democrats hiding out just across the state line, the Senate’s Sergeant at Arms remains unable to compel their attendance.
“For those looking for us, we are right here, standing with the people of Wisconsin,” Democratic Senator Chris J. Larson tweeted late Thursday afternoon, apparently from Illinois.
During a Thursday afternoon press conference, Gov. Walker encouraged Senate Democrats to return to Madison in order to carry out the job they’re paid to do. “Out of respect for the institution of the Legislature and the democratic process, I am calling on Senate Democrats to show up to work today, debate legislation and cast their vote,” Walker said.
“Their actions by leaving the state and hiding from voting are disrespectful to the hundreds of thousands of public employees who showed up to work today and the millions of taxpayers they represent,” he added.
So far, nine protesters demonstrating at the State Capitol have been arrested.
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald adjourned the state Senate Thursday at 5 p.m. The Senate is expected to be called back into session Friday, but whether there will be an actionable quorum present remains unclear.
_________________
UPDATE:
Speaking to the Washington Post via phone Thursday evening, Wisconsin State Senator Chris Larson insisted he and his Democratic colleagues would not return to the legislature until the GOP takes the governor’s proposed union regulations “off the table.”
“Each of us is in a secure location,” he told me, confirming that they were not all together but were monitoring events on the Web and on Twitter. Larson refused to say whether he and his fellow Dems had left the state, as some have speculated.
“We’re going to be staying away until we hear that they are taking the right to organize seriously,” Larson continued, referring to Republicans. “They’re going after 50 years of history in one week. Until they take that off the table, it’s a non-starter.”
Larson said Dems are not worried about law enforcement pursuing them and dragging them back to the capitol. Though the current proposal exempts state police, he said that individual officers had privately expressed solidarity with the Dems‘ and public employees’ cause.
“They understand the importance of workers banded together to protect workers rights,” Larson said, characterizing his conversations with officers. “They understand why we’re here.”
Dems will not return, Larson vowed, “until the Republicans are prepared to listen to the effects of this bill on workers and what it will do to our state.”

They knew to leave at the right time, Lets hope they know when to return…never. Wisconsin will be much better served by permanently paying for the resort to keep them there.. Probably would be less expensive than letting them return.

This locks out the true patriot that can’t be bought from holding office. Then they pass laws locking out free competition of the small business vs the mega corp with costly regulation. At times like these it is pretty damn hard not to despise the left because the left behaves so despicable.

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 6:34pmFrom the Wisconsin State Constitution:
“Organization of legislature; quorum; compulsory attendance. SECTION 7. Each house shall be the judge of the elections, returns and qualifications of its own members; and a majority of each shall constitute a quorum to do business, but a smaller number may adjourn from day to day, and may compel the attendance of absent members in such manner and undersuch penalties as each house may provide”
Order them to return and have the courage to vote NO if they are so inclined. If you are a constituent of one of these childish missing members, I would strongly consider demanding they return to the job or face RECALL. Wisconsin provides the ability to recall members. Another option is to demand they come back or be declared that they have “vacated their office”.
It is time for adults to make the hard decisions. Collective Bargaining is NOT a right guaranteed under the Wisconsin Constitution or the US Constitution.

Take your illiteracy elsewhere!
Lincoln was NOT a marxist!
The citation you purposely leave any context or explanation out of is part of an argument AGAINST socialism and FOR a system of free enterprise as outlined in his “Annual Address Before the Wisconsin State Agricultural Society, at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, September 30, 1859.”
Lincoln goes on to outline how marvelous a thing it is that in America, the class of the educated is of a sufficient mass that almost all of us are required to use their own labor to exchange for currency and life’s other necessities so that slavery and servitude are not considered as “necessary” to those of the educated class.
Your very quote condemns your opinions. The WI teachers are withholding labor and STILL demanding capital from the taxpayers.

Here’s a short list of the lies which all politicians, not just Progressive’s, have created:
1-Welfare, which has not encouraged self-improvement or two parent families, but has spawned….
2-Gangs.. there was no father to help with child-rearing, or earn money, which led to needing…
3-Food Stamps, which, since they were squandered on cigarettes instead of food, led to….
4-WIC, which is child-only nutritional food, so children would not be malnourished. This occured at…
5-Public-Housing, which of course led to having to build new public-housing when that was destroyed
This vicious cycle led to:
6-Failure…. of blacks in Public schools, which lead to a repeat of all the above, and, of course…
7-Trouble with the law, which meant…..
8-Repeat offenses, jail sentances, and…
9-The need for more and more jails, which led to….
10-Higher and higher taxes for all the people who had to contribute to all of the above, which….
11-Inevitably caused the crap to hit the fan because…
12-All sensible people knew we only had so much capacity to sustain this nonsense.
Now, not only people in WIsconsin, but everywhere, will have to either convert to Socialism therby taking what you earn for others, or stand and tell the politicians who have created this mess that they better do the right thing and not continue down the path they’ve put us on. It was never Capitalism that caused this, but it was Capitalism that created the riches that allowed this charade to go on this long.
