This scene happened on the floor of the Michigan Senate this morning as the people of Michigan came by the thousands to speak out against Republican attempts to pass disastrous “Right to Work” legislation that would lower wages and reduce benefits.
Additionally, Republicans have called in countless State Police officers again today to guard their offices and question the public as they enter the Capitol to protest the Republican agenda:
Frankly, if you have to bring in a massive police presence in order to conduct business at the State Capitol, it might be time for Republicans to rethink what they’re doing.
UPDATE 12:53pm:
Police have begun pepper spraying and removing protesters from the Capitol!

Leave a CommentI’ve been trying to actually TALK to a Democratic Party Official of any stripe all day. Disconnected phones, and messages. No wonder RePukes run the damned State: it looks more like you guys work for THEM.

This just shows how disjointed and anti-middle class the Englerite disciples Tricky Dick Snyder and his cronies are. Talk about sour grapes….the Rupulsivecans are ticked over the election so they are targeting middle class workers and public education!

I’d like to know why this got passed in the election in the first place. I certainly voted against it. The republicans are getting away with murder….job murder. Get this man out of office. We tried getting it on the ballot to have him (Snyder) out….but of course people didn’t think it was right to do this. Now look at where we are.

These Senators work for the people of Michigan but I guess they have forgotten the people they represent. Maybe next time NONE of them should be relected. The Capital building belongs to the people of Michigan it is not their own domain……..fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me………….

It’s time to recall Republicans including Governor Snyder… If their loyalty is with themselves, each other and with corporations and special interest groups, then they got to go!!! They’ve failed the constitutionality test miserably!!! Psalm 109:8 KJV reads: “Let his days be few, and let another take his office.”
