Wisconsin Dems Loose Union Collective Bargaining Vote

The Wisconsin Senate Democrat's maneuver of fleeing to Illinois back fired today.  It has worked out that they did not need to be present for a vote to take place.  Therefore , today the Wisconsin Senate passed the bill they wanted to cut spending and fight large deficits.  The bill will remove most of the government worker's collective bargaining rights as a way to rope in out of control deficit state spending.  

No quorum needed......  Checkmate........... 

Protesters have stormed the State Capital.  Republicans have fled in fear of their lives under police escort.  Absent Democrats are giving mixed signals about when  they will  return to Madison.
