Can there be a recall election in Wisconsin??
Can the Governor be recalled? If so, should not the steps begun to get him out of office as soon as possible?

There needs to be consequences for his lies and deceit.

Does anyone know?

1. yes, unfortunately
state law says not until next January.

There's organizing going on now! Signatures can't be gathered until November, but they're getting lists of names and emails NOW - at the protest - to get it all in motion.

6. The recall effort has started here:

"Please note that this is not an “official” recall document, but more a chance to unify and vent on the possibility of recalling Scott Walker."
