The Formal Recall Effort to Walk Governor Walker Out of Office Begins!

Let the collection of petition signatures commence (soon)!

From Chris Bowers of the Daily Kos:

DAILY KOS
Dog gone,

Last night, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin announced it will begin gathering petition signatures to recall Governor Scott Walker on November 15. They will have 60 days to gather a minimum of 540,206 signatures, with a filing deadline of January 13.

Further, the Wisconsin Democrats have confirmed to Daily Kos they will work with citizen-driven, grassroots efforts to recall additional Republican state senators. After Democrats picked up two seats in August through successful recalls, Republicans now hold only a 17-16 advantage in the chamber.

As you read this, the Wisconsin Dems are training volunteers to gather petition signatures. Let's help them out, and finish what was started during the epic protests back in February.

Keep fighting,
Chris Bowers

I will be following developments on this campaign from some of the same excellent Wisconsin non-partisan sites that covered the previous elections.  These have been unprecedented political actions, in terms of scale and type of activity, in U.S. history, so I hope that our readers will apperciate this in terms not only of politics, but the larger perspective and context.
