“Our actions since the session began this year has been all about having the voice of the people heard”
Those were the words of the leading Democrat in the Indiana House of Representatives, Pat Bauer, in response to the recent resumption of the House Democrats blocking a quorum in the chamber over the reintroduced Right-To-Work legislation.
The voice of the people? Really, Pat? You claim to fight for the right of the people to be heard? The same people who elected Republicans to 60 of the 100 seats in the House, thus making you the Minority Leader once again? The same people who also elected Republicans to 37 of the 50 seats in the Senate, giving Republicans the ability to conduct business without even the participation of a single Democrat necessary?
The voice of the people has been heard, and Pat Bauer has not been hearing it, let alone fighting to have it heard. Instead, he has been fighting for the voice of his masters to be heard, the voice of the labor unions, the same unions bitterly opposed to the Right-To-Work legislation, the same legislation which would balance the right of workers to be part of a union and the right of workers who want nothing to do with a union.
If Pat Bauer were truly fighting for the voice of the people to be heard, he would not be allowing this continual blocking of a quorum in the House.
