In Eagle River, another group is preparing to file paperwork to form a committee to explore recalling Jim Holperin of Conover.

Wirch and Holperin are two of the 14 Senate Democrats boycotting the state Capitol to avoid a vote on Republican Gov. Scott Walker's bill...

Somebody who is good in Photoshop should take portrait shots of each of these reps and modify their eyes to look like the eyes of The Runaway Bride.

Just an idea.

Carpenter’s mailbox is already full. Tried to call earler this a.m. However I did cc him on an email of support to Governor Walker where I mentioned that I was presently without representation in the Senate. Someone replied looking for my address so he could pass my comments along to the proper rep. I gave it to him with both barrels.

Cut off their cell phones if they are owned and paided for by the State.

The fugitive leader said they were not all in the same place so cut their communications.

Cut off their e-mail accounts if paid for by the State.

Surround the places they are staying and deny any food or water from reaching them.

“Fine idea but what are their chances of succeeding considering the voting population of the districts. “

Doesn’t matter if they lose the recall election. They succeed merely by getting it on the ballot. Forces the slimy bastards to come scurrying home to defend their privileged positions! Oh, and when they scurry back, then the Wisconsin State Police can escort them to the Senate chambers!

Cowards. They did this in Texas a few years ago too.

I remember that, it was 2003.

My question is of the 53 killer D's, how many are still in office?

Were they victims of the redistricting or from pissed constituents?

No recall is necessary. THe democrats have violated their oathes of office.The legislature can bar them, the Sargent At Arms can clean OUT their desks,change the locks on their offices, and the Legislature can declare special elections to fill the vacant seats.

The Governor should declare their (the AWOL Democrats) seats vacant and call for elections to fill the vacancies in 60 days.

Surely there must be at least one dead Dem senator that can show up and vote just like they do on election day.
