1. He has to be in office for 1 year before a recall can occur.

2. We have laws in Wisconsin about these things. We follow them
Thanks for the concern.

The recall project has started. Hopefully in a year we will have the 350,000 signatures we need at the time the filing opportunity opens.

6. Slight correction
The number of signatures needed:

Total votes cast for governor in 2010 = 2,160,832

times .25 = 540,208

(to be collected in the 60-day period after filing the petition)

And many more than that should be collected to allow for any challenges that are successful.

4. goodness!
I am so proud and excited for you guys and the protests and demonstrations that are happening. This was not meant as a put down.
I have a thread on Facebook where I have been giving progress updates on all the stuff you guys are doing.

I wish you all the best, I think Madison, Wisconsin is our Cairo, Egypt.
