A group of protesters organized outside republican Senator Pam Galloway's house in Wausau Sunday morning.
On Wednesday she voted for the bill that stripped collective bargaining rights from many state employees.
The protesters say they will keep coming back until they can get a word with Galloway.
"A lot of people in the city are concerned about what's going on in Madison. We want a Representative type of Democracy and don't feel Pam Galloway is representing that.," says Bill Neyens, a Wausau Resident.
News Channel 7 spoke with Galloway Sunday. She says she's been meeting with teachers and concerned citizens the past few weeks and that she is willing to meet with the protesters at her district office.

I don't know where she had her medical practice but her co-workers must be glad to be rid of her. By the way, were the protesters able to cross the moat okay?

I am sick of these union thugs whining and complaining. Unions only make up about 15% of the entire workforce in the US. Why should the minority be ramming what they want down the throats of the majority. A lot of unions have become nothing but bullies and thugs - strong arm of the socialist a.k.a.democrat party. I have no sympathy for these union members -- a lot of them have collective bargained themselves out of their own jobs. Plain and simple.

I am so sick of people calling the people protesting goons, thugs, and so on. How disrespect full. They are people just like the rest. They are our friends, family, and neighbors. These public officials that run also need to remember that they are there to do a job, a job for the majority of the people they represent. They must accept the consequences when they support something as terrible as this. I have no sympathy for them especially the methods in which it was reached. The average worker will suffer and you can bet you last dollar that it won't be long before they exploit it and you will see radical changes in wages and working conditions.
