Can a recall petition be circulated for the Wisconsin governor?

[OmahaBlueDog]

Can he get the Gray Davis treatment?

[midnight]

1. Yes he can...... After he serves a year in office....

3. So can one circulate the petition now for a vote in a year?

..or does one have to wait a year to begin the process?

What about the statehouse members?

8. I don't think so

I believe there is a limited amount of time from when the petition is started to when it must be completed.

2. wi law says

after one year in office. That will be January 3, 2010. We can collect signatures 60 days before that and file on that day. There are numerous groups already collecting the names so that when the time comes - we can get all the signatures in a hurry.

4. The system was not prepared for totally inept Governors...where recall is at anytime if enough peeps

sign in...IE California

Walker is an example of Bad voting....

Or I know of private group that is collecting information. If anyone wants to PM me. They don't want it put out for everyone right now - just those who are committed to working to going out and actually getting signatures when the time comes.

10. Ne needs to be charged with a crime and thrown in jail.

Forget about recall.
