As I write, Madison, Wisconsin has imploded in a scene reminiscent of the upheaval in the Middle East.

At least 15 school systems in Wisconsin cancelled classes today because 1,100 called in sick.

At least 10,000 employees and supporters rallied yesterday in Madison in opposition to legislation supported by Republican Gov. Scott Walker.

I guess they screamed themselves sick.

Per cnn.com:

Classes were not held today in the Madison Metropolitan School District, because the Wisconsin Education Association Council called for people to come to the Capitol on Thursday and Friday to “stand beside your neighbors, family and friends to help our voices be heard.”

40 percent of 2,600 teachers, assistants, social workers and psychologists in the bargaining unit called in sick late Tuesday, forcing the district to cancel Wednesday’s classes for 24,500 students.

And this just in from 620wtmj.com:

The Wisconsin State Senate has some members MIA.

It is supposed to be discussing, debating and, maybe,voting on Governor Scott Walker’s budget bill, the Democrats have gotten the Heck outta Dodge.

Law enforcement officials are trying to find at least one Democratic senator to bring in for a quorum, but, according to River Hills Republican Senator Alberta Darling, all the Democrats got on one bus and left the state.

The discussion, debate and vote will not occur until a 3/5ths quorum can be reached.

Is it over some tyrannical decree by an uncaring politician? Is it a life or death situation? Well…if you listen to Jessie Lidbury, regional field organizer, it is:

We’ve got a fight on our hands and it’s personal. Over the past few days serious developments have surfaced of Governor Scott Walker presenting a “Budget Repair Bill” that will essentially gut collective bargaining for public employees here in our own backyard of Wisconsin.

Over the next couple days nurses, teachers, snowplow drivers, prison guards, and public servants will be standing together to let Governor Walker, know what is at stake: livelihoods, heath care, our children’s education, and the rights of all workers.

A regional field organizer for whom, you ask? Well, let them tell you:

Organizing for America is mobilizing on the ground in Wisconsin to defend the rights of public employees from an attempt by the governor to take away their right to organize.

Got it?

ORGANIZING FOR AMERICA…AS IN BARACKOBAMA.COM…THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.

The same guy who said to TMJ4 in Milwaukee:

Some of what I’ve heard coming out of Wisconsin, where you’re just making it harder for public employees to collectively bargain generally, seems like more of an assault on unions.

All of this is happening because officials from the Wisconsin Governor’s Office told the Wisconsin State Employees Union on Friday that expired collective bargaining agreements would be canceled March 13. The previous arrangement made with State Employee Unions can be terminated with 30 days notice.

Also, last Friday, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker presented a budget repair bill that removes nearly all collective bargaining rights for almost all public employees in Wisconsin. The measure will make it easier for employers to fire workers that engage in some form of labor unrest.

Just like this.

The voters of Wisconsin put in a Conservative Governor for a reason.  They were tired of state government largesse and out-of-control Progressively-driven situations like the one that is unfolding right before the country’s eyes today.

Unfortunately, the situation in Wisconsin is just the beginning.  With the Administration behind them, Union thugs and Progressive pinheads will continue to have temper tantrums, such as we’re witnessing today, as the wishes of the American people, who spoke loudly and clearly on November 2nd, 2010, are carried out.

Gird your loins.
