Wisconsin: Walker is running scared, trying to cripple the recall process.

[Scuba]

from my email....



Dear Friends,

Here he goes again…Scott Walker’s buddies in the state Senate just announced a bill that would require all recall petition gatherers, who already have to certify each petition they collect, to have their own certifications notarized.

They are attempting to create a huge burden on the hundreds of thousands of you who have already pledged to recall Walker. If this bill passes, you might need to find a public notary to submit the recall signatures of your friends, family and colleagues.

This bill and any other roadblocks they try to throw our way won’t stop us—we will recall Walker!

Will you please give $25, $40 or whatever you can today to United Wisconsin to recall Walker—despite any tricks he tries to pull!

Scott Walker’s cronies are doing everything they can to stop you from recalling him. We have seen it before and each time we fight back with even more energy, support and strength.

Please make a donation of $25 or $40 to show Walker, we will overcome any obstacle he lays out and we will recall him.
We are already working on plans to account for this new challenge and will be back in touch soon with more information and other ways you can help.

We know that no matter what they throw at us, recalling Walker is not about political tricks. It is about real people who have suffered the consequences of Walker’s actions this past year.

Contribute to United Wisconsin today, and let’s show them you won’t be backed into a corner.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,
United Wisconsin Board of Directors

4. Sure, I can't think of a more worthy cause than stopping this madman of Wisconsin from continuing

his reign other than getting corporations and their money out of our government.

5. If ever there was a need for a recall, this fascist is it.

[kentuck]

8. I guarantee that would get all of their attention...

It needs to be done.

10. Walker is the word "thug" personified

My hope for Wisconsin is that they can get this piece of trash out of office before he can destroy their good state with his self-serving, detestable actions. This man isn't qualified to run a bake sale, much less a state government.

16. Walker doesn't have the nerve to be a real thug

You must be confusing him with his boss, David Koch.

11. Ex post facto

Overview
Resources

Latin for "from a thing done afterward." Ex post facto is most typically used to refer to a criminal law that applies retroactively, thereby criminalizing conduct that was legal when originally performed. Two clauses in the US Constitution prohibit ex post facto laws: Art 1, § 9 and Art. 1 § 10. see, e.g. Collins v. Youngblood, 497 US 37 (1990) and California Dep't of Corrections v. Morales, 514 US 499 (1995).

See Constitutional law
Definition from Nolo’s Plain-English Law Dictionary
Latin for "after the fact." Refers to laws adopted after an act is committed, making it illegal retroactively. Or, it can refer to laws that increase the penalty for a crime after it is committed. Such laws are specifically prohibited by the U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 9.

12. You're suggesting the Wisconsin Supreme Court could use this ...

... to rule against the Republicans?

Sounds reasonable, but then our State Supreme Court is not reasonable.

[Yon_Yonson]

15. They sure are not reasonable ....

They are now called the Wisconsin Supreme Kangaroo Court!

14. When Herr Walker was running for Milwaukee county executive

in a recall election, he didn't seem to see any need to change the rules.
