You don't have to worry about Wisconsin pulling together for you or any upcoming elections. I don't think we'll be seeing Republicans in Wisconsin for MANY years after a stunt like this.

Mr. Erpenbach, you're a total bro.

Ehh and what WORLD have it stunned? Must have been the world of the US. Look past it, more outside!

Mr Erpenbach I would vote for you for President! I voted for Obama and am appalled that he is turning his back on working families across all the states that are being bullied by their governors!!

Mr.Erpenbach, thank you for standing your ground. You fought honorably for your constituents. I pray that good will prevail, in the end!! Keep up the recall fight!!

You were not willing to compromise. You wanted it all. Until Walker agreed to everything you wanted you were not coming back. Were is the compromise in that.

Mr. Erpenbach, I am a North Dakota resident and I appreciate what you've done for your constituents. Please keep us up to date on the progression of the recall efforts. I've heard that that Wisconsin has 30% of the signatures needed.

@cloudbuster77 Agreed, and we can only hope that they will. I'm trying to organize as many citizens as I can for this cause. It's about time we got some real 'change'.

Ronald Reagan on unions "we cannot compare labor-management relations in the private sector with government. Government cannot close down the assembly line. It has to provide without interruption the protective services which are government's reason for being."

[blueheidi]

Mr. Erpenbach, would you like to run for Governor at the time of the recall?

[supportingplayers]

Thanks Senator Erpenbach! I believe there are no gray areas too. You're either on the side of Walker, or you're on the side of Wisconsin.

This is simply an example of the extreme right's desire to see the US reverted to its state during the 1900's when there was a vast, expendable working class, and an extremely wealthy upper class, who had free reign to take advantage of them. Labor unions created our middle class. Period.
