Recall drives EVERYWHERE
Edited on Sun Feb-27-11 11:57 AM by drm604
While we're stirred up. While the public is energized and on our side. In every district where we can win - where we would have won if people had voted - we should mount recall drives for every Republican who is eligible for recall.
Is that possible? Can we do that?
Edited to add: Can we register new voters for recalls?
Edited again to add: This includes on the federal level!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x521299For people who call themselves democrats, they sure do not like the democratic system we have in place.
They win elections and all we hear is, "The people have spoken".
We win elections and all we hear is, "Recall, impeach, election fraud!!!!!11111 eleventy!!!!"
You idiots on the left can live with the fact that you lost the election. Your chance to undo part of it is less than 2 years away for some and less than 4 years away for others. As Obama told us, I am saying we won, get in the backseat and shut up. We are trying to get this car out of the ditch and all you libs are doing is sippin on slurpees and bitching and moaning.

8. My understanding is that there are 8 Wisconsin Republican Senators who can be recalled.
According to Wikipedia, the current composition of the Wisconsin Senate is 19 Republicans and 14 Democrats.

If we could replace 3 of those Republicans with Democrats it would then be 16 Republicans and 17 Democrats.
In the old days you would have to wait to elections to replace them but, you want to bypass the system and try to stack the deck in your favor.

12. How many of the
democrats will be recalled and loose their seats for not showing up to work when this process starts? I am not sure this is a battle we want to fight.
Yeah because if you use those tactics, the teabaggers may get some ideas and tea bag you once again.
There is a time and place for recalls. If someone in office is doing something illegal then recall is legit. Recall is not just because you you don't like the policies of those in office.
