Scott Walker Recall Effort Launching In Wisconsin

Washington Post:

There’s a long way to go, and the goal seems like a very tough one to reach, but Wisconsin Democrats are set to go for it: They will announce at their annual convention later today that they intend to launch an effort to recall the ultimate target — Scott Walker himself.

What are the residency requirements to move to WI so one can vote for his recall? At the least I suppose we non-WI folks can contribute in some manner. Or is Scottie trying to outlaw that too?

Go WI Dems. And don't forget to support efforts in Ohio, Michigan, Florida, Arizona, and some other states, I'm sure...

He knows he is going to be recalled, so now he is shoving bill through senate regardless of voter opinion...He needs to be recalled A.s.a.p.

That they are! They are working on adding a little" gem" to the proposed 2011-13 state budget. It wουƖԁ mаkе economic interest statements filed bу state officials (whісh includes thе financial holdings аnԁ side business interests οf state lawmakers) ONLY available fοr public inspection аnԁ copying аt thе GAB's office іn Madison instead of requesting information online or viewing ѕοmе οf thе information іn аn online index.

What's the holdup with the gop attempt to recall the dems ? It's not due to fictitious signatures or other acts of chicanery is it ? Observers need to keep a close eye on this one. Pull the plug on the repugs!

Time for the people of Wisconsin to go to "warp" speed on Waker's recall. Every day this RyanCareLess Plan advocate is in office the more damage that can be done to the people of his state. Send a New York 26th type message and clean house.

Hopefully he'll do the right thing and leave to "spend more time with his ...." high school diploma. Wait, did I say do the right thing? Duh.

He has a job waiting for him when he gets recalled by the Koch's.

Scott Walker was a "C" student and college dropout that could be the explanation for some of his actions. The founding fathers of this country were men of intelligence and principle.

He was also an assemblyman, re-elected 3 times, a county executive, re-elected twice, and a great governor who always shows he is a man of intelligence and principles.

A college degree is a valuable credential but it in no way guarantees proficiency in any field nor is the lack of it an indicator that a person is limited when he obviously has proven that proficiency previously in his career.

He's shown he's a man of intelligence and principles except when holding secret meetings or talking on the telephone or determining the cost of capitol repairs, or directing debate on political issues.

Principles? If he had principles he would have run on taking away collective bargaining rights, yet he never once mentioned it in his campaign.

Walker is toast! And so are the teabaggers!

People with intelligence and principles who finishing college are considered "elitist." Its amazing to me that willful ignorance is so fashionable these days.

It's all part of the demagoguery card; it is the way to insure that some elements of the working/middle class become the "tools' of their own demise.

Corporatist interests motivate SOME people by rousing and justifying hatred of their perceived "out-groups" (teachers, government workers, liberals, intellectuals, reformers, unions, Hollywood, feminists, etc).

-.-.- Where have i heard this before?........We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. BUT WHEN A LONG TRAIN OF ABUSES AND USURPATIONS, PURSUING INVARIABLY THE SAME OBJECT EVINCES A DESIGN TO REDUCE THEM UNDER ABSOLUTE DESPOTISM, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. —it's called a recall !

He'll just get a par raise when he goes to work for Koch Industries.

Do you really think that if he loses power and influence to carry out the Koch brother's mission they will give him a job due to their charitable spirit? Walker is a big fish in a very small pond who if he loses his pond will just be another fish out of water.

Are there enough remorseful Walker voters and enough democrats and independents who did not vote but will surely vote in the recall of the republicans and Walker? If the three republican legislators are recalled in July, Walker will be sufficiently marginalized to limit what he can do until he himself faces recall. Walker deserves not only to be unemployed, but unemployable. He should experience first hand how it feels to look far into the future and see nothing.

Walker was elected to get wis off its tax and spend and debt addiction. Now that he is true to the people who elected him and doing the job, some people want a do-over. Just like the alcoholic who wants another councellor because the one he's got wants him to stop drinking.

The people are suffering from buyer's remorse. They didn't read the fine print, didn't ask him to elaborate, and he didn't. Failure of due diligence, but fixable. They are on their way to making it right.
