Indiana House Republicans Sing About Missing Democratic Lawmakers

From the good folks at HoosierAccess.com, Indiana House Republicans have discovered an innovative tactic to get their Democratic House counterparts to return to their home state: Singing to them.

Lyrics:

74 bring them home to the place they belong, Indiana, not Urbana, take them home 74

Pat Bauer, lost his mind, took his caucus, ran across state lines,

Right to work, PLA’s, bunch other stuff, made them run away.

74 bring them home, to the place they belong, Indiana not Urbana take them home 74

School reform, was our plea rather than debate it, they all chose to flee

When they come back, time will tell, if they don’t, they can go to (slap)

74 bring them home to the place they belong, Indiana, not Urbana, take them home 74

Unemployment, (inaudible — I think it’s, “who steps up?”) we got elected, stop acting like you won,

When they show up, you know who, just like Noah’s ark they come back two by two

74 bring them home to the place they belong, Indiana, not Urbana, take them home 74

I expect the response, “Their singing is what drove us away!”

The line is "oops thats done" due to the unemployment bill being on the list of demands even though the Gov has already signed it

After their little fit as far as I am concerned let them stay in Urbana forever and just hold a special election to replace them. I think they should be arrested for theft of government funds since the collected their pay along with dereliction of duty and treason for their attempts to move our government to foreign soil.

O.K. finally, an approach that everyone can appreciate. I remembers when Birch Bayh got elected with a song. Please, please keep the creative juices flowing and get this out to everyone.
