Wisconsin patrol officers have been dispatched to the homes of Democratic state senators to pressure the lawmakers to return to the Senate and vote on Gov. Scott Walker's budget repair bill.

Last week, 14 state senators left Wisconsin to avoid voting on the bill, which would take away the union rights of public employees. There are 19 Republican senators, but the Senate needs a minimum of 20 members present to debate and vote on the bill.

Police can't arrest the absent members, according to The Associated Press, but Republicans hope that at least one Democratic senator will be pressured to return.

2. It appears to me
that walker is not very bright or politically savvy. After the 'interview' was reported every where, he has forged ahead w/ all the 'insider' plotting he revealed or told 'koch' about. He hasn't even tried to alter the game plan after he blabbed it.
