Police haul dozens of protesters from Wisconsin Capitol before Assembly vote on union bill03-10-2011 10:57 AM MST |By DINESH RAMDE, Associated Press
Police carried dozens of protesters from a hallway leading to the Wisconsin Assembly on Thursday as Democratic representatives pounded on the locked door of the chamber, demanding to be let in to the room where a vote was scheduled on an explosive bill that would take away public workers' collective bargaining rights.

At least 100 protesters packed the hallway, pounding drums, while the Democratic representatives gathered in front of the doors, which were opened just before 11:30 a.m. At least 50 protesters were carried out by police, and the building was locked down briefly while officers did a security review.

Rallies against the bill have attracted thousands of protesters to the Capitol over the past several weeks. A vote on it had been held up after 14 Democratic senators fled to Illinois three weeks ago, leaving that chamber one short of the 20 members needed to take up any measures that spend money.

Republicans got around that Wednesday by using an unexpected but simple procedural move to remove all spending measures from Gov. Scott Walker's collective bargaining legislation and voting to approve it without Democrats present.

About 200 people spent the night in the Capitol in protest over the Senate's swift and unexpected passage of the bill.

With the Assembly's vote scheduled for 11 a.m., dozens of Democratic representatives showed up to find the doors to the chamber locked.

"What more egregious, illegal, unethical step can be taken to prevent democracy in Wisconsin?" asked Rep. Donna Seidel, D-Wausau, as she pounded on the door along with her colleagues.

With the Assembly empty, it was not clear where Republican lawmakers were. They showed up and began to file after the doors were opened.

Police began clearing protesters out about an hour before the scheduled vote. Danny Spitzberg, 26, a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said officers gave protesters little explanation for why they needed to leave. He walked out on his own after being ordered to leave, but others were dragged through the hall.

"This is grossly undemocratic, it stinks up the whole process," Spitzberg said.

and then somebody let them in, so your laugh was premature or was that immature?

Kind of like collective bargaining was part of the budget before it wasn't part of the budget, like that?

Those on the right should watch this. It demonstrates something that they are not used to and deplore. Please watch this example of people practicing their rights. I know this is intolerable and will offend you deeply but these are the principles this nation was built upon!

Walker is just another in a long line of the history of tyrants and he to shall fall.

Libertarians should watch it, too!

I'm sure this slime ball would throw a party if Wisconsin had listened to Indiana's deputy attorney general...

Indiana's deputy attorney general Jeffrey Cox had responded "Use live ammunition" to a posting on its Twitter account reporting that riot police might sweep protesters out of the Wisconsin capitol, where they have been demonstrating against labor legislation.

I am sure if you had your way, you would throw a party if Wisconsin would only put forth more Jeff Dahmer's.

What? Jeffrey Dahmer was a serial killer. Can you get any lower freak? I am not the one running down working people. This whole deal in Wisconsin makes me sick. To hear you folks on the right demonize schoolteachers, nurses and public employees, portraying them as scum bags and slugs, and taking pleasure in seeing fellow Americans punished, dealt pay cuts, hardship and job loss is not only anti-American, it is anti-Christian. I know, I know, you all say it just about 'unions'. I don't buy it.

I'd be willing to bet that every successful person would name a teacher or coach who was instrumental in their success as mentor or as inspiration. These are people who don't choose teaching to get rich. They choose it to make a difference.

What is this country coming to? I have believe there isn't anything Republicans can do that will draw your ire. Conservatives likes to dismiss the class warfare argument as liberals envious of the wealthy. You folks are envious of peers who have something you don't have. These public employees make less than their private sector counterparts, yet you folks want to take from them because they planned ahead and took home less pay to secure their future.

Let me ask you this freak...when has Walker or any Republican asked the wealthy to share the pain? When will they be asked to sacrifice?
