I'm just a bill....sitting on capitol hill.....

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind to say the least.
I attended and participated in my first protest!
Our Senate Democrats have left the state to prevent voting on the bill. I believe they have been gone for 3 weeks now.
I was in the capitol when they announced that the democrat senators were absent from the vote.
Assembly Democrats have brought their offices/desks outside of the capitol so they can meet with citizens.
I saw a camel at the capitol (brought in my john stewart's crew)
I saw a guy wearing a dress made out of candy necklaces. Sign reading "I don't look as ridiculous as you Scott Walker."
I have eaten Ian's free Pizza because all 50 states and many countries have donated so much money to feed the protesters
I have stood beside of my co-workers and community members listening to people tell their stories at the rally.

Many of you may have heard about the protests happening here in Madison. If you listen to FOX news you even heard the protests are violent. They aren't. I thought they were actually family friendly. Only Madison would turn a protest into a party with live music, bands and food.

Our Governor Scott Walker (I cringe just typing his name) has decided to make major cuts to our state. These cuts would effect all state employees and attempt to strip the union of their collective bargaining rights. Although I am not in a union the budget repair bill will still affect Jimmy and I. The cuts would effect teachers, classroom size, transportation, nurses.....it effects so much. Stress is fairly high at work. People are depressed and worried.

Despite the worry and frustration it has been neat to see the passionate protesters at the capitol. I have been hesitant on blogging about the protests but tonight on my home computer I believe I will blog away.

All I can say is karma Scott Walker KARMA......

As for the blog title....Does anyone remember this little cartoon/commercial?
