La Crosse(WIS) Dems: "We have the Signatures in Kapanke(R) Recall Effort"!!

[Cha]

La Crosse area Democrats say they will file petitions today with enough signatures to trigger a recall election of Sen. Dan Kapanke, one of eight Senate Republicans targeted over votes to curtail collective bargaining rights for public workers. If approved, it would be just the fifth recall election of a Wisconsin legislator.

Recall organizer Pat Scheller said volunteers have gathered more than the 15,588 signatures needed and that they plan to take them to Madison after a noon rally today at La Crosse City Hall.

It is expected to be the first completed of 19 active recall efforts registered between Feb. 24 and March 2 against 16 senators.

“I love campaigns. I just didn’t think I’d do one every year,” Kapanke said Saturday at the opening of a La Crosse County GOP headquarters.

When you try to take away workers' rights that's what happens, skippy.

Bwa..haw..haw..it is all coming together isn't it? The Republicans totally misread the November election which is no surprise.

Bravo to our friends in Wisconsin once again showing the way and paving the path for Americans.

The other wonderful thing about what is going on this a Non-partisen effort, Republicans, Democratic Members, Union, Non-Union, all races and creed.
My friends this is the worst thing that could ever happen to the Republicans because they only thrive when the masses are divided by their lies and treachory!

Thank you, Maddie, for that most insightful comment! The message I got from it is.."Why elect republicons when we just have to spend the money to RECALL them?!"
