Wusses in Wisconsin, or are they?

I remember a bumper sticker issued by the Wisconsin tourism bureau or some-such back in the early 80's, "Escape to Wisconsin".  I always liked to get my hands on them and cut out the 'to' part.  Apparently, the democrat state senators took that to heart, and escaped, or as the bad guy played by Gary Oldman in "Air Force One" says, "He fled like a whipped dog".  The link provides (rather well I might add) the reasoning behind the efforts to curtail the abilities (NOT 'rights') of AFSCME and others (PUBLIC tax-paid for employees) to negotiate in collective bargaining.  Don't forget, I'm a public employee in a union.  Excuse me, we cannot officially call our union a union, but rather an 'association'...right.    Just remember, democracy is not what we have nor have we ever had.  We are a constitutional republic.  The people made their voices heard in the election last November.  As Obama liked to point out after the '08 election, "Elections mean things."  http://www.professorbainbridge.com/professorbainbridgecom/2011/02/the-case-against-public-sector-unionism.html
