Can someone give an idea of what is going to happen when all the signatures are gathered in WI?

Anyone have a link to a Dummies guide -- or give a breakdown on what the steps are, and how long till the pukes are actually out?

1. I understand that Hell has already submitted the invoice, and certified payment will be tendered

2. Doesn't a recall mean a reelection?

I don't it's a guarantee that anyone is leaving office.

4. Once signatures are verified, an election w/in 6 weeks.

The incumbent is on ballot unless they resign.

5. Walker will submit a bill to the legislature.

To declare all recall attempts null and void regardless of what the WI constitution actually says and they will railroad it through in violation of all state laws. We're not dealing with an enemy that recognizes any existing laws to the contrary of their policies.

6. Er... HE CAN'T. It's in the constitution and it takes 2 legislative sessions and a referendum...

to change the constitution for that very reason. Welcome to DU.

7. That doesn't mean he won't try to do exactly that............

I think he'll have to be pulled out of the governor's office bodily when HE gets recalled.

8. Glad to be here.

But in my post I said everything would be done regardless of what the state Constitution or any other law says to the contrary. It was meant to highlight how obviously illegal the union destruction bill was rammed through.

9. Unjust but not illegal, but there certainly has been some hokum.

Sit tight an watch Wisconsinites do their thing.... beat your feet on the Mississippi mud for while.

11. Well as a born and raised FIB.

Joliet actually. I really hope that my WI brothers and sisters can overcome. I'd hate to have to revise my fond memories of Lake Genevia summers ;-)

10. "Budget Repair Bill"

violated legislature rules and open meetings laws

Language in the Constitution re: recalls is pretty clear

Article XIII §12 Recall of Elective Officers



Most of §12 explains who is eligible for recall and describes the process. The final paragraph of the section is as follows:

§12(7) This section shall be self−executing and mandatory.

Laws may be enacted to facilitate its operation but no law shall

be enacted to hamper, restrict or impair the right of recall.
