"Republicans have promised a tough fight for any seats facing recall.
"We're treating this as a full-blown election cycle within an election cycle," said Mark Jefferson, executive director of the Republican Party of Wisconsin.
Parties have 10 days after a petition is filed with the state to issue a challenge of its validity. If the petition holds up, an election would be scheduled for a Tuesday six weeks later.

Jefferson acknowledged some Republicans might lose their seats but "I would expect Democrats to face recall elections before this is over as well," he said. "I suspect we'll maintain the (Republican) majority."

"The month that I write this, March of 2011, the nation and the world is seeing what solidarity can do. In Egypt, men, women, middle class, poor, young, old, Muslim, Coptic Christian, socialist, and traditionalists combined to topple a dictator. In Wisconsin, teachers, sewer workers, pencil pushers, students, firemen, and cops are confronting an oil baron's flunky, the Governor of the state, who has attempted to strip them of fundamental human rights."

The Senator told her that society would be better without disabled people, and he wishes he could ship disabled people to

Group Called "Citizens for a Strong America" Operates out of a UPS Mail Drop but Runs Expensive Ads.
www.prwatch.org

"So, the voters of Wisconsin are now being bombarded by a virtually anonymous group being bankrolled to the tune of perhaps a million dollars or more to run ads which are demonstrably misleading. There is no physical office a voter can go to in order to complain or demand the group's tax filings. And even if those filings were available, they would not disclose who CSA's major financial backers are. CSA is exploiting the fact that Justice Prosser and a narrow majority of the Wisconsin Supreme Court enjoined the state from enforcing rules to require key disclosures by groups like CSA running so-called "issue" ads to influence elections. (The Center for Media and Democracy has filed a brief in that case in support of disclosure rules.)"

"Citizens for a Strong America and Its UPS AddressCitizens for a Strong America and Its UPS AddressMADISON--A new special interest group has purchased an expensive TV ad campaign in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race but operates out of a UPS store. The self-named "Citizens for a Strong America" (CSA) advertises its address as "834 Park Avenue #306" in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, but this address is nothing more than a box at a UPS Store. The TV ad campaign attacks Supreme Court candidate JoAnne Kloppenburg for an ad that was not created by her campaign. The ad CSA is complaining about argues that Supreme Court candidate Justice David Prosser failed to prosecute a priest who young boys said had molested them. (CMD does not endorse or oppose either candidate; CMD reports on front groups, PR campaigns, and spin, with a particular focus on corporate-funded spin.)

Lessons from a WI recall - Y Heron - Open Salon

Lessons from a WI recall - Y Heron - Open Salon

Posted in Comments: Steve – “I know it isn't easy.” The weird thing is – it has gotten much easier psychologically b/c I have trained myself internally plus there are SO many more of us. The difficulty lies in not letting the cause take over my entire life. My kids receive much less attention and our family day are now exclusively dedicated to the cause. These are valuable life experiences for them…living civics lessons...and a chance to talk about those who have less than us. But I'd be lying if I didn't say that the exhaustion matches having a newborn baby.

"We need 15, 744 total signatures for recall of Harsdorf. We garnered another 641 signatures in our small city yesterday, while sending some excess volunteers to an neighboring town which compiled another 255 more through their hard work. Through the incredible grass roots efforts of the volunteers in our company, my husband and I have been able to submit 1396 signaturs thus far. Here are some things that I have learned about recalls along the way:"

The phrase consent of the governed has been turned into a cruel joke. There is no way to vote against the interests of Goldman Sachs. Civil Disobedience is the only tool we have left. - 2011/04/03

"We don’t need leaders. We don’t need directives from above. We don’t need formal organizations. We don’t need to waste our time appealing to the Democratic Party or writing letters to the editor. We don’t need more diatribes on the Internet. We need to physically get into the public square and create a mass movement. We need you and a few of your neighbors to begin it. We need you to walk down to your Bank of America branch and protest. We need you to come to Union Square. And once you do that you begin to create a force these elites always desperately try to snuff out—resistance.

Chris Hedges’ column appears every Monday at Truthdig. Hedges, a fellow at The Nation Institute and a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, is the author of “Death of the Liberal Class.”
