Democrats in Wisconsin haven’t forgotten about Governor Scott Walker. After nearly a year of attacking working people's rights to unionize - and pitting private sector employees against public sector employees - Scott Walker's days of living in the Governor's Mansion in Madison could be numbered. The state’s Democratic Party announced yesterday that it will begin sending out recall petitions against Governor Walker on November 15th. That gives Democrats two months to collect the 540,000 signatures necessary to launch a recall election against Walker as soon as he’s eligible for recall at the beginning of next year. As Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman Mike Tate said, "It has become clearer than ever that the people of Wisconsin - the traditions and institutions of our great state - cannot endure any more of Scott Walker's abuses.” So will Democrats in the Badger state put an end to the war on unions that Scott Walker started? Here to give us an update is Graeme Zielinski - Communications Director with the Democratic Party of Wisconsin

United Wisconsin said Tuesday that it would be opening offices statewide and enlisting volunteers with the goal to collect at least 700,000 signatures.

The article says: The Republicans welcome the recall... I bet they do... And I'm sure Kathy Nicholas is all ready to create some more human error....
