I’m waiting for the robocalls to start.
Cowles recall in Green Bay is not going well. 1,200 signatures in a week. Cowles is 25-year state senator.
Alberta Darling in N. Milwaukee suburbs is rumored to be about 2,400 signatures in - she will go to a recall election. Reportedly 600 volunteers, even if there is a fraction of that, the volunteers are from reports very organized. Sheldon Wasserman (2008 Dem challenger) remains avaiable to run against her.
my mother lives in Washington County and my nephews - in- laws are in Ozaukee County- Alberta darling district is in these counties, when doing the recall the entire district is to be represented. They are telling me they know no one whom will sign the petition. Nephew is a teacher in Racine County and he refuses to join with the Union’s call for a State Employee walk-out on Monday march14, 2011. It will become a strike he fears. He has started to drive a beat up vehicle to the school. His used acura has been keyed already. my other nephews wife is a teacher in the Catholic Schools and she is shocked. ( My sister and husband own a body shop, the boys bought acuras that were in accidents and repaired them - good cars)
I am up here in the UP of MI, last year we started the recall petition against Bart Stupak and he retired thus opening up the seat that was won by Dr. Dan Benishek. There was a group of us whom had contacts and people lined up in the largest district in the UP of MI.
