A fourth WI Republican senator is now up for recall.

Sides ready for recall of Sen. Harsdorf - Leader-Telegram: Leader Telegram

West-central Wisconsin Democrats say they have succeeded in gathering more than enough signatures to force a recall election of state Sen. Sheila Harsdorf this summer.

Harsdorf, of rural River Falls, is one of eight Republican senators targeted for their support of what Democrats call Gov. Scott Walker's radical agenda, including his budget repair bill that curtails collective bargaining rights for most of the state's roughly 300,000 public workers.

After holding celebrations across the district Monday evening, recall organizers plan a vehicle caravan drive to Madison today to file the signatures with the Government Accountability Board, said Bob Salt, chairman of the Dunn County Democratic Party.

The board, which oversees elections in the state, has indicated 15,744 signatures - a quarter of the votes cast in the most recent gubernatorial election - are required to trigger a recall election in Harsdorf's 10th Senate District, but Salt said organizers collected about 20,000 since March 2, just to be safe.

"Collecting 20,000 signatures in that short of a time with all volunteers is an amazing accomplishment," an elated Salt said Monday, adding that more than 6,200 were submitted by Menomonie organizers plus another 2,000 or so from UW-Stout.

Hell yes, my friend. Keep 'em coming.

Poor little Cheeseheads can't take a dose of reality.
Take out the movers and shakers, install the puppets, and run the state into the ground.

4 down, 4 to go.

Interesting concept of 'democracy' the democrats have. People vote, some people don't like the outcome. Recall.... all seems to be a tad against the will of the people. But I guess, to Democrats, the result only counts if they 'win'.

Shameful behavior.

Get off it. I'll bet you had no problem when Gray Davis was recalled in your state. It's a legal maneuver and if these recalls succeed, then the "will of the people" in those districts will have been expressed.

Not only that, it's the GoOpers in Wisconsin who started this recall frenzy by going after the so-called "fleebaggers". Interestingly, they might not be able to get a recall against any of them off the ground.

This is why nothing ever changes. When the government does act financially responsible, the socialist will move to protect their perks. They choose to not look at the fact, we can't afford them anymore.

I see you have a limited understanding of democracy, huh? Within rules, the people have the inalienable right to recall elected politicians with whom they are dissatisfied. See the GOP recall effort against Governor Gray Davis in California.

The effort to recall Gray Davis began with Republicans Ted Costa, Mark Abernathy, and Howard Kaloogian, who filed their petition with the California Secretary of State and started gathering signatures. The effort was not taken seriously, until Rep. Darrell Issa, who hoped to run as a replacement candidate for governor, donated $2 million towards the effort. This infusion of money allowed Costa and Kaloogian to step up their efforts. Eventually, proponents gathered about 1.6 million signatures, of which 1,356,408 were certified as valid.[4]

So how do you explain the recall in California?

I did not support the recall in California either. Blaming the Governor for the mismanagement of the energy crisis was stupid. Voters tend to react emotionally and blame the executive. The legislators had big part of the mismanagement, with influence from Enron.
When there is a crisis it is better not to be the person in charge. Like Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked. The commander was blamed, even though there was little he could do to prevent it.

Dems are up for recall too.

Enough signatures for Sen. Jim Holperin have been collected:

Group: Holperin recall is a go | Wausau Daily Herald | wausaudailyherald.com

I believe there are one or two more with enough signatures too.

You really need to stop getting your info from HuffyPuffy....

Here's four Fleebagger recall efforts that are well "off the ground"...

Recall Wirch (has enough signatures - still collecting)
Recall Wirch

Recall Hansen (despite the theft of petitions - has enough sigs - still collecting )
Recall Senator Dave Hansen

Recall Holperin (still collecting signatures)
Recall Jim Holperin 12th District

Recall Miller (still collecting signatures due April 26th)
Recall Mark Miller

Did you object, in principle, to the recall of Gray Davis?

Go ahead, lie, and say you did.

Actually, I did have an issue with it. Some of us are capable of looking past partisan politics. You're just not intelligent enough to do so.

Yeah, because our congressman have such a great record for appeasing the "people" and doing what they want.... It's the partisan hacks that will ultimately be happy...

First you slam ALL Democrats and turn around and claim to "look past partisan politics".

Thanks for making my day.
