Fortunately the majority of taxpayers are fed up with paying for unreasonable union benefits while everyone else take cuts.  I don't think the legislators have anything to worry about.  Shame on unions for using intimidation and coercion to line their greedy pockets.

Shame on each and every one of you who voted for this bill.  We will work as hard as possible to make sure you do not return.
