BTW Not sure if anyone is aware of this but WI people in general don't like and resent IL especially along the border.

With IL and Chicago seemingly now baby-sitting the Dems at the Clocktower in Rockford (nice place to be held up in) many people now consider it a fight between IL and WI and you know how that will go.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Hundreds gathered in Green Bay in an effort to recall state Sen. Dave Hansen.


Hansen, from Green Bay, is one of 14 Democratic senators who left the state Feb. 17 to block a vote on Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s budget repair bill that would discontinue collective bargaining for public-sector employees.


The Saturday meeting was organized by Green Bay resident David VanderLeest, who filed the recall effort. VanderLeest says nearly 14,000 district residents will need to sign petitions within 60 days to force a recall election.

Hansen, who was at an undisclosed Illinois location Saturday, told the Green Bay Press-Gazette that they have a right to push the recall but he’s not worried because he’s trying to protect the American dream.

That doesn't appear to be true:

February 25, 2011
Another day, another conservative poll has bad news for Scott Walker

A day after a conservative poll of Wisconsin showed voters there overwhelmingly opposed to Gov. Scott Walker's (R) plan to eliminate collective bargaining for thousands of state workers, conservative stalwart Dick Morris dropped his own poll of the state showing a similar result.

Fifty-four percent of the respondents to Morris' poll said they were opposed to eliminating collective bargaining. Just 41% said they favored it.

The voters Morris polled did want some changes made to the union worker's compensation plan. Basically the same ones the union has already offered.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Hundreds gathered in Green Bay in an effort to recall state Sen. Dave Hansen.

One hundred thousand gathered Saturday in Madison, in support of Wisconsin unions, the largest demonstration yet, with supporting rallies held in all 50 states.

Russ Feingold has formed a PAC, and is reporting 71,000 signatures to put him on the gubnatorial ballot when the Walker recall occurs.

Another: "You get exactly what you vote for. By everyone. Buyer beware. Not voting = not a good idea."

On Wisconsin!

BTW Russ Feingold is the kiss of death. Start, 'turn out the lights'. Feingold lost in a landslide similar to Walker's landslide win. He is as foreign to a WI voter as a Chicago Streets and San guy protesting in Madtown who got his job from a guy named Solis coming out of boot camp. Not US military boot camp mind you, but Cook County as in Jail boot camp.

Keep that out of state fire lit though. Some of the farmers may get lazy should WI do well in the NCAA tourney coming up!

Feingold is foreign to Wisconsin voters? You mean where they kept re-electing him as a State Senator for 10 years, and then kept re-electing him your US Senator from 1993 to 2011? And now there are 71,000 signatures to get him on the recall vote ballot with Walker?

I don't think "foreign" was the adjective you were looking for

Believe me outside of Milwaukee and Madison Feingold is as foreign as Obama.

Yay, Governor Walker! Way to go with what's most important: supporting education! Good thing you gave $140 million in unfunded tax incentives to corporations a couple weeks ago, and refuse to look at the fact that 2/3 of Wisconsin corporations pay no tax to the state whatsoever. Now that you did that, and took your budget surplus to give that corporate gift, and now you have a $136 million deficit this year you have to cover: well, the kids can help you pay for your love of corporations over children with their future.

The Koch brothers are proud of you for keeping your loyalty to corporations, rather than your citizens, surely.

The governor is expected Tuesday to announce a new revenue limit that would require a $500 per-pupil reduction in property tax authority. The limits, in place since 1993, have gradually grown to reflect increasing education costs. That part of Walker's proposal alone would reduce the money available to the state's 424 districts by 7 percent, or nearly $600 million, based on a study done by University of Wisconsin-Madison economics professor Andrew Reschovsky.

"When you make unprecedented and historic cuts like these to schools, it means teachers are laid off, class sizes are larger, course offerings are reduced, extracurricular activities are cut, and whole parts of what we value in our schools are gone," state superintendent Tony Evers said in a statement.

"Hundreds"

[Riot]

Reporting that police, who were supposed to close down the Madison capital at 4:00pm CST, and indeed ask people to leave at that time, are NOT forcing protesters who stayed to leave. In fact, there are off-duty police protesting there. All are risking arrest for peacefully refusing the request to leave, but apparently it's not gonna happen.

I think that any Democrats who are threatened with recall will be alot safer in their districts within Wisconsin at the recall election, than the Republicans.
