There are many who applaud them for standing up for their convictions and doing what they believe is right. There are also many who believe that they are essentially defrauding the people of Indiana by not showing up to perform the job that they were elected to do. So far, it has been a week and nothing has been accomplished in the House of Representatives. As of today, the Democrats are still staying at a hotel in Urbana, Illinois and have shown few signs of returning any time soon.
Do you agree with what the Democrats are doing? Is it alright to simply not show up if it appears as if things are not going to go your way? Does it make a difference that these decisions would impact the entire population of the state? Is there another way that this situation could have been handled? Should the Democrats have to face some sort of consequence when they do return - if so what? At what point should Governor Daniels step in and possibly use the state police to force them to return?
