"Not surprisingly, the non-stop coverage of the protests by CNN and other mainstream media outlets suddenly stopped over the weekend. It was becoming more and more obvious that these demonstrations have been taken over by the radical left-wing fringe. Wisconsin taxpayers would be outraged by pictures of bongo-banging and yoga exercises going on in the capitol, while the people's business has been suspended because Democrat senators went on the lam. Fox News is still covering the protests, when its reporters aren't being attacked by the "tolerant" progressives.
Meanwhile, some Wisconsin residents are taking matters into their own hands by launching recall efforts against the AWOL Senate Democrats. Good for them! Organizing a successful recall effort is a tough job, but any legislator who is unwilling to do his or her job ought to be fired."

"The fact is that teachers-union-sponsored protests spreading across the land are not primarily about the teachers or the students. They are about the unions and feds maintaining their mafia-style rule over education and our kids, and preventing parents and anyone else from choosing educational alternatives."

"Will the administration and the Senate join us in getting our fiscal house in order? Or will they continue to add entitlements and borrow and spend at unsustainable levels? If only they would unite with us, confidence can be restored in America and capital investment can return.
But if they don’t walk us back from the precipice, businesses will see only weaker prospects for profit and growth on our shores – and turn instead to other countries they deem safer. What does this mean for America? It means we would be a lot more like Europe. Our graduates and work force would have less opportunity to find work. Our prospective entrepreneurs would have less incentive to pursue their ideas. Unemployment would be permanently higher and growth would be permanently weaker."
Congressman Eric Cantor
