Are there any Republicans who could change their potential vote on this? |
|
There must be some Republicans senators that realize that Walker has gone too far with this anti union legislation. There must some that really care about their communties and would be willing to work with the union, especially since they see that there are so many people out supporting the union. I know that it isn't my state sentaor, Luther Olsen, but there must be some that might respond if they got a fair amount of emails in support of the union. Are there any likely candidates?

Two state senators (R) sponsored an alternative bill that preserved the collective bargaining rights, but it didn't get support from the rest of the smug repukes. I believe that we need 3 senators to turn.

3. Are those the 2 who decamped? |
|
Dale Schultz & a guy with a Dutch name that eludes me at the moment.
I don't know anything about the Hollander, but Schultz is a snake.

4. Only need 1 more to force a compromise |
|
Two Republicans have already come over. One more, and the bill won't have enough votes to pass, IIRC.

6. I heard Leibham was one of them. |
|
Not sure though. I can say with absolute certainty it wasn't Grothman. What a snake that guy is!
