"It looks like both sides in the union versus budget debate in Wisconsin are preparing to fire their recall artillery at each other as both Republican and Democrat state senators could face campaigns to remove them from office:
Wisconsin law allows any elected official who has served at least one year of their current term to be recalled from office.Once the recall paperwork is filed, organizers have 60 days to gather signatures.The number of signatures depends on how many voters in that district voted for governor, a number that in these cases ranges from about 11,000 to 20,000.If enough signatures are gathered, the incumbent has to go through a new election."

Wisconsin: You can initiate a recall of your own representative, or, if an effort has already started for your district, you can participate in that.
Remember, "voter turnout and activism means spreading the word!"
