Email from Move On: We could be on the verge of losing in Wisconsin.
Dear MoveOn member,

We could be on the verge of losing in Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin 14â€”the brave Democratic state senators who left the state to stop the Republican attacks on workersâ€”are under increasing pressure to return to Wisconsin.

Governor Walker is even threatening to lay off thousands of state workers to blackmail Democrats into coming back. And as soon as just one Democratic senator returns, Republicans will be able to jam through their terrible bill.

Unfortunately, over the last 24 hours there have been credible reports from blogs and local news reporters that this is imminent.

These senators have been away from their homes and families for almost two weeks now, at great personal cost. Their bravery has made this whole fight possible, and it can't be easy. That's why we need to show them that they have the support of millions of progressives nationwideâ€”and that as long as they stay strong, we'll stand with them.

Will you add your name to our emergency statement of support? We'll deliver your signatures and comments electronically, throughout the day, to the senators or their staffs, so they can see how much support they have.

Click here to add your name

The statement of support says: "I support the Wisconsin 14 and will stand with them in their brave opposition to Governor Walker's radical attacks on workers."

Thanks for all you do.
â€“Daniel, Lenore, Peter, Julia, and the rest of the team

Lie me a river, Media Matters. You're right about one thing though. The bill is going to pass. Much to the chagrin of every DUmmie on the Island. Too bad, so sad. Only thing I'm worried about is the path the fringe left takes before the bill eventually passes. You left wing organizations will try to make it as bad as you can though, won't you?

Running and hiding from your job is brave?

I heard all the left wing state senators in Winsconsin were holed up in Cyrenaica.

Dear MoveOn member,

We could be on the verge of losing in Wisconsin.

You lefties have ALREADY lost Wisconsin in the NATIONAL court of public opinion. The 100 million hard working sacrificing non-union WORKERS in the nation hate your 3.5 million fracking union sandbagging slacker taxpayer parasite EMPLOYEES.

Buh-Bye...

Old lazy-assed 60's hippies, their red-diaper-doper-baby off-spring, liberals, commies, anarchists, socially engineered bong-sucking faggots, your short days are numbered!
As we speak, union membership is decreasing by the hour and very soon, you no-talent, no-skill parasitic blood sucking leeches will be cast back into the gutter from where you slithered.

Suck the corporate schlong, DUmmy...

They should have stayed at a cheap motel and eaten at a Mickey-Dees instead of staying at the "Charlie Sheen Whorehouse & Fine Dining Establishment".

Why should the Democrats in Wisconsin care about support from millions of regressives nationwide? they care about what their constituents think, and if they're starting to waiver it's because their constituents aren't happy with them.

Laid up in a hotel room ordering room service and watching the pr0n channels.

Right up there with the Continental Army at Valley Forge and the 101st Airborne at Bastogne.

I get a lump in my throat just thinking about it - their forlorn faces pressed against the window, looking out across the vast wasteland of the Marriott parking lot, popping another complimentary mint into their mouth as they wonder if they'll ever see kith and kin again...

*sob*

OMG, I can't believe the nerve of this DUmmie to whine and complain about these 14 douchebags' self imposed 2-week vacation from work. Lots of hard working folks would love to do the same, if only they could afford it. Unlike these so-called profiles in courage though, the ordinary hardworking American isn't on the union dole.

Send these assholes to Afghanistan, Iraq or some other hellhole for 15 months and get back to me about sacrifice and great personal cost.

Because he's Constitutionally-required to balance the budget and you f'n fruitbats won't give up anything, you stupid DUmbasses!

For crying out loud.

Why didn't the MoveOn letter touch on the $100 fine PER DAY the Wisconsin 14 will be receiving each day they are in hiding?

Thanks, Carl,

of course the ones truly deserving props are our brave military members serving so that ignorant assholes can protest, picket and generally make gigantic pains of themselves.

If any regular person were to skip out on two weeks of work their ass would be looking for a job by time they got back.

Why is it that these democrats are treated differently ?

Wasn't there a pretty serious war fought over there some few years ago to get rid of the protected "ruling class" ?

H5 to Boudicca from me as well.

Bravery and courage....give me a freaking break. Lounging around a hotel room? As for kith and kin, if their spouses were the shrill, nagging sort, and their kids are the whiney petulant sort, why then it's a REAL vacation! Break out the champagne and send over the broads.
