You can’t have self-government and take away the electorate’s ultimate weapon: to peacefully change “rulers.”
If you think it’s too easy to force a recall election, then make it harder. But the people’s right to change their minds is paramount.
We tossed out a terrible governor in California after he took office and promptly raised “fees” on every household by about five hundred bucks. Good example of a recall working.
In your case, I think Walker will stay in office. Again, the system works.
Well aware of the danger of not being able to peacefully change ‘rulers’. That’s what Wisconsin did in 2010 (Governor-House-Senate and US Senator — all went Republican) and the left won’t accept our democratic choice. As our former Senator Russ Feingold said “Its not over till we win”. This is a tactic of the left. If not stopped now, it will lead to bloodshed.
It will be made harder to recall no doubt about it. And your example of California doesn’t inspire any confidence, we are hoping to continue to exit from that kind of mal-governance.
‘The system works’ - not this time. 20 million in tax payer money that could have gone to schools, infrastructure is pissed away to prove to the left that they no longer run the state. They could have waited 28 months and come back with their plan, but its all been about subverting the last vote before Walker’s actions could be proven to have been effective. The recallwalker.org domain was purchased before election day in 2010. It was all about keeping those millions in union dues and continuing to coerce individuals into membership. It was a do-over because somehow the citizens of Wisconsin made a mistake in 2010.
Too bad for them, the numbers are proving that the plans that he campaigned on worked and we are fiscally sound. That they were lying that the schools would collapse. Too bad the media didn’t cover the extensive communist - world socialist participation in the occupation of the capital because Wisconsinites would have recoiled from that too.
