Oooo, I usually don’t admire vanity. In this case I might make an excerption. LOL
Californians, what say ye?
Landrieu needs to go ASAP.
People need to respond with civil disobedience. It is clear Congress has no intention of upholding the Constitution so it is up to the people.
How about starting with the recall of Begich in Alaska? He won by less than one percent after a phony indictment and conviction (thrown out) of Ted Stevens that occurred just a day or two before the election last November. How about a rematch?
I don’t think anyone will be actually recalled, but we need to develop asymetric means of fighting back. Just like the trivial attacks on Governor Palin, we need to allow them no rest and no sanctuary, until they are gone.

How to Recall a U.S. Senator
Instructions
1.
Step 1
Consider your location. Few states allow for a recall of a senator—only 18 and the District of Columbia. If you’re not living in one of these states you have no constitutional rights to recall.
2.
Step 2
Determine the grounds for recall. You’ll need this information to make your case to the population but in 7 of the 18 states specific grounds are actually required. In these states, if your reasons don’t measure up, you won’t be allowed to proceed with the recall.
3.
Step 3
Get signatures. You’ll need a petition to get a recall election. The number of signatures is usually a percentage of the voters at the last election but this differs by state.
4.
Step 4
Prepare for a response. At some point during the process, the senator will be notified that a petition for recall is being circulated. She will then have a chance to respond to the allegations.
5.
Step 5
Get voters to the recall election. Once the recall election is granted, alert the community and get them out to vote. The ballot will ask whether or not the senator should be recalled and the state may hold an election at the same time to elect the next person for that office.
Tips & Warnings
*
The 18 states allowing for recall are as follows: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington and Wisconsin.
*
A website or a phone campaign are good ways to get your petition going. Going door-to-door is also an option although it is more time consuming than the other two. This is important since you only have a set number of days to obtain the correct number of signatures—anywhere from 30 to 180 days.

You will be fighting an uphill battle to recall a U.S. Senator. No member of Congress has ever been recalled in the history of the United States.
Sounds like a plan. Think of how they got those evil 60. Stole an election (Franken) Smeared an innocent senator (Alaska), Switched parties (Spector), changed the rules ex post facto (Kennedy). Perhaps we can take it to court as illegitimate?
How many times does this needs to be said?
You can not recall Senators or for that matter, Representatives. According to several court rulings on this issue, they are considered federal officials and thus cannot be recalled by their respective states.
Ask yourself this question: why is it that no member of congress has ever been recalled in the entire history of the United States?
Recall in and of itself is only possible in the 18 states that you mentioned, but this only applies to Governors, Mayors, State Senators, Councilmen/women, Assemblymen/women, etc. NOT to Senators or Representatives.
Aside from that, recalls are extremely rare and have happened maybe a dozen or so times in the history of the union, with the most famous recall being that of Gray Davis of California.
So, as much as I’d like to recall every single one of the bastards, I just don’t think it’s possible, legally.
My guess of the liklihood of recall with what I know about the current political of the particular state.
Alaska - Yes
Arizona - Yes
California - No
Colorado - Yes
Georgia - Yes
Idaho - Yes
Kansas - Yes
Louisiana - Yes
Michigan - No
Minnesota - Maybe/Yes
Montana - Lean Yes
Nevada - Yes
New Jersey - Lean Yes
North Dakota - Yes
Oregon - Lean Yes
Rhode Island - Maybe
Washington - No
Wisconsin - Lean Yes
Will not work. These people make up the rules. They will not abide by this.

I would be available to wok for a recall. Get signatures, etc. I’m sure there would be plenty of other volunteers.
I’mready to go down there and yank them by the neck out into the streets of the USA and HANG the all!
Dam the legalities, this is what the Constitution says is OUR duty if we want to keep our Republic.
Alter or Abolish!
Sink or swim.
Do they accept web signatures?

While eighteen states allow “recall”, the U.S. Senate does NOT recognize the legitimacy of these state laws. So Mary Landrieu and Ben Nelson are safe for life.
Cannot be legally done. The communists party (formally the Democratic Party) know this. Why are they so arrogant? Because they lean communistic and believe that the King Obama machine with the likes of ACORN and unions that they will not be thrown in 2010. Like the Franken case, they will fraudulently sway the election. And they might be right!
Interesting idea however I think they know it is unconstitutional and quite frankly that is the plan.
We pay taxes for years into a bogus system mandating we buy insurance from a private company meanwhile the legal battle rages on the constitutionality of it all...
Of course it will be ruled unconstitutional and the government will say...well all these people paid these “TAXES” and now we can’t let this fail it is too big. So we will drop the mandate to purchase from a private company and we will just have the government private the insurance...that is allowed...however would not get any public support.
The entire thing is a scam and this will lead to civil war once people figure out what the hell is going on here.
We are in the middle of a CO2mmunist takeover of our free country.
