Here is the text of the letter, written by Senate Minority Leader Mark Miller:

Dear Governor Walker and Senator Fitzgerald:

Over the past several weeks we have witnessed an unprecedented public debate in Wisconsin over the value of public workers and the importance of collective bargaining rights. I write today to offer to meet, in-person, as soon as possible to resume discussions on how we reach a bipartisan solution to our differences on January 2011 Special Session Senate and Assembly Bill 11.

The working people of Wisconsin are deeply concerned about what the future holds for their families, and for the great state they call home. Now more than ever they are counting on us as leaders to work together to resolve our differences to move our state forward.

Since the bill's introduction, public workers have come forward to offer economic concessions and Democrats have offered a number of proposals to try to reach a bipartisan resolution.

I assure you that Democratic State Senators, despite our differences and the vigorous debate we have had, remain ready and willing to find a reasonable compromise. To that end, I would ask that you or your authorized representatives agree to meet with us near the Wisconsin-Illinois border to formally resume serious discussions
as soon as possible.

The people of Wisconsin are overwhelmingly supportive of us reaching a bipartisan, negotiated compromise. Senate Democrats stand ready to do just that, we ask that you do the same.

Walker is a snake that can never be trusted

Walker is twisting in the wind, while trying to pull off the big macho man stuff.

honestly. I think they're better off to just remain out of state and let the little twit hang.

that he will not compromise and I believe him.

"Aha! My tactics have worked and they are weakening! I'll bring along some law enforcement to round up these guys and force them back to the Capitol". And the Democrats will no doubt have a videographer nearby to capture the forceful retaking of these hostages to Walker's insane plans. Then release that video to the MSM...who will probably ignore it.

So twisted, he could swallow a knitting needle and cough up a corkscrew.

Computers are impervious to handcuffs.

I believe most in WI want something worked out, but this meeting will not happen, Snotty will just say no, so it continues to prove he's intransigent and further seals his fate with anyone moderate. And around where I live, a prety conservative area of the state, Snotty's plan and approval are sinking like a stone.

Crossing state lines by a political fraud :rofl:

are still not cooperating....stay strong Dems..
