Patrick yog-5u -->INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Indiana's House Democratic leader said Wednesday that party lawmakers will stall work in the chamber until certain demands are met over a Republican right-to-work bill that was blocked last year by their five-week boycott.House Democratic Leader Patrick Bauer said they want the GOP to hold more public hearings on the divisive bill that would ban unions from collecting mandatory fees for representation. He did not say how many, however, adding that he wants to meet with Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma first to discuss what it will take for Democrats to return to their seats."I think it's a filibuster until we get the truth," Bauer said of Republican plans to hold a hearing Friday on the measure. He said Republicans were "railroading" the measure through the House, although Bosma and other Republicans have contended that it got a thorough vetting by the public last summer during a series of hearings.When asked how long the Democrats will stay out, Bauer said, "that time schedule is not in our hands."Most Indiana House Democrats had been no-shows on the floor Wednesday when Bosma tried to start the new session. Their absence left the House short of the two-thirds members present to continue.Instead Democrats holed up inside a conference room just steps from the House chamber and spent more than three hours debating tactics on the first day of the 2012 session.Last year, House Democrats left the state to block the measure, but Bauer said this year his members would not leave Indianapolis.Bosma had said earlier that a boycott by Democrats would not lead Republicans to drop the bill again as they did last year. He said Democrats were bowing to pressure from union leaders and said the proposal's passage was a key to making Indiana more attractive to potential employers."It is the No. 1 jobs issue that we can address this session and the No. 1 issue is jobs," Bosma said.The bill would make Indiana the first state to enact a right-to-work law since Oklahoma in 2001, and the 23rd overall.Rep. Craig Fry, D-Mishawaka, had called a walkout "the only way" to block the bill. But new fines and lawmakers concerned about re-election in 2012 could make another walkout more painful.I too old and worn out to fight anymore but you youngsters better look lively if you want to keep America. Politicans are stealing your birthright along with the Federal Reserve and its owners. You have no rights under our Constitution anymore!! Read the patriot act and NDAA and SOFA. Your under house arrest sucker and if you think you can fight the army these crooks have your nuts. Your only blow is to deliver your one vote for the right person. Vote Ron Paul and stock up on precious metals silver, gold and lead. Because they will not give up power over us. They are drunk with it.Wait! Is this Wisconsin? Is this the new Democratic strategy to get things done? If we dont play by their rules, they take the bat and ball home? They call themselves Democrats, but apparently have no idea how a democracy works. Take an up and down vote, and see if it flies. No stones, I guess. I well remember the unions in Indiana, and there was a time when labor and management could get together and agree on things. They just need to shut the Houses down for 30 or 60 days and let things cool down. And, yes wow gold, the idea of no work, no pay is a good one Acheter Des PO.

More specifically, she does not appreciate the media on her lawn, taking pictures through her windows and probably ruining her cred. Never mind the inside reporters who have been checking her background and digging up dirty secrets. How dare they do to her what she prompted the FBI to do to others!
