Police Search for Senate Democrats Who Skipped Vote to Curtail Union Rights in Wisconsin
Senate Democrats in Wisconsin failed to show up Thursday for a vote on a "union-busting" bill that has prompted police officers to launch a dragnet for the missing lawmakers.
Republicans hold a 19-14 majority but a vote cannot be taken until at least one Democratic senator is present.
"It's kind of unbelievable that they're elected to do a job and they wouldn't show up to do it," Republican Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald told Fox News.
Fitzgerald said the apparent boycott may force the State Assembly to vote first on the bill. But he added that if police officers find the lawmakers, they will bring them back to the chamber for a vote.
"This isn't something I've ever seen in the state of Wisconsin," he said. "It's a very volatile situation right now but those people were elected to do a job and unfortunately they're not doing it. They're not representing the people of their district."

See now you cant fire politicans can you? But Try skipping from Work and see what your boss does to you. Try playing hooky from school and see what your parents do to you. Remember when Dan Rather walked off the set because he didnt like U.S Tennis coverage on CBS and you saw what his boss did to him. You cant say to your boss well i dont like the task so im not showing up for work today. The people can do something,, DONT PAY YOUR TAXES!! Just take that 1040 form and rip it up! Or Dont allow your kid to go to school until politicans straghenen up.
