The blog And So It Goes in Shreveport notes that a petition to recall Senator Mary Landrieu has been accepted for filing by the Louisiana Secretary of State. Citizens have 180 days to file enough signatures to get this on a ballot:
"Via Caught Him With a Corndog, there is an active petition to recall Senator Mary Landrieu:
'On Dec. 29, a recall petition was filed by Ruben Leblanc of New Iberia, for the recall of Mary Landrieu. Sec. of State Jay Darden stated that he WILL accept the filing.'
Kinda like chicken fried bacon, this limited time offer won't last. Citizens have 180 days starting Dec. 29 so get with it today if you would like to see Me-ry 'Louisiana Purchase' Landrieu hit the bricks before her service is up.
Go here for details and here to see the case for a recall.

My husband contacted the A.G. for Louisiana, a Democrat, on this very subject, because he wanted to start one if no one else did, and he got a letter from his office stating that “in his opinion” he didn’t think it could be done because it is a Federal office and not enforceable by the State. But in reading the wording, it doesn’t specifically exclude Federal office holders from recalls.
I think the effort should be made, and let Landrieu challenge it in court. Hopefully, at the very least, it will get her attention.
The only legal method of recalling Landrieu, or any other congressman or senator, occurs next November
Are they counting the future taxpayers (still in he womb) or just the illegals?
He DID say he was going to re-make America. the Jerk.
Barney’s frank? Did you check Freddie’s Fannie?
Arrest her for what? Being an idiot?
I’d like to recall Jesus. He’s the only one who could put the fear of God into these traitors.
