It's Official: Recall Process Begins for WI Dems (Congress, Obama, politicians)

[KoobleKar]

The clock is now running for groups trying to collect enough signatures to trigger recall elections against seven Democratic senators, state officials said today.

................

The only Democratic senator who is not currently the subject of a recall bid is Spencer Coggs of Milwaukee.

................

The groups need about 16,000 signatures to force a recall election for a senator, Magney said.

...............

In addition, Magney said a group has formed a political action fund to collect donations to support a recall election for Walker. But an official recall effort could not start until Walker, who took office last month, has served in the Capitol for at least a year.

Good, it shouldn't take long.

From that same link: Democrats and labor unions are also weighing whether to recall up to six Senate Republicans for supporting Walker's plan.

Heh. Recalls on both sides? What a shocker.

Well, since a recall couldn't be voted on til next Jan, it would tyake a while. It might be good to have a recall of the entire State portion of the 2010 election. Would very likely have a much different result.

I'm talking about the time it will take to gather 16K signatures on a petition to begin the process, that shouldn't take long at all.

Well, to quote mr obama, "we won the election." My guess is it works both ways. Just a thought.

I read somewhere that the Tea Party in Wisconsin says it can easily get the 16,000 signatures in one day.

You read that somewhere, huh?

Then of course it must be true.

Don't you love how Liberals think?

When THEY win an election, it's "elections have consequences".

When they lose an election, they leave town like babies.

Could anyone imagine how outraged they'd have been if Republicans had walked out of Congress instead of allowing the ObamaCare Bill to be passed?

Besides, this precedent is COMPLETELY destructive to the entire Democratic process. If all politicians did this all over the country when they didn't ave the votes, all government would cease to exist.
