2. Democrats in the assembly are furious it was introduced by a Democrat!



This amendment was introduced 'ON THE FLY' (was not passed nor introduced in a committee)! And Democrats in the assembly are furious it was introduced by a Democrat!

It is a ploy to get rid of affirmative action says Rep. Tamera Grigsby
She finds morally reprehensible!

Now Rep. Sandy Pasch (she is a nurse) is giving a great speech. She is very good. She ran up against Sen. Darling during the recalls in August and she lost but she is passionate about taking care of the poor in Wisconsin.

A few tweets from last night.

9. Excellent Great Job Dems
Edited on Wed Nov-02-11 10:15 AM by Yon_Yonson
When I left last night the Dems where still in caucus and I am absolutely delighted to read about filibuster

:yourock:

Will the assembly be back in session on Thursday to handle AB 142 and will the gallery be occupied with freedom loving people?
