Wiscons recall effort- updates, links, anything?
I'm curious about the recall efforts in Wisconsin. Are people actually going door to door and getting signatures? Has anyone seen any recent news articles about it, have total petitions been filed? Any news on the effort, or is it just hemming and hawing?

5. Any plans to expand the recall in light of today's Senate vote?
Was wondering if, in light of the Senate's vote today, there were any plans to expand the recall effort to the other Republicans who voted for the anti-union measures (everyone except Schultz, who voted against)? Or is that not considered a feasible option?

2. Last evening Rachel Maddow Show MSNBC
It was reported that signatures are being sought
for the recall of eight Republican Legislators.

The Law in Michigan states the Lawmaker must have
served at least one year. Some are new members.
So is Gov. Walker. It seems their sights are on Walker
once he has served a year.

At present 8 Republicans have been in office longer and
the people are seeking signatures.

7. Can we recall republicans in the state assembly to? Or are they not eligible?
If we have an option then I think we shouldn't be giving republicans in the state assembly a pass on this union busting, we should be recalling every single one of them that's eligible for recall.

Also this post at Daily Kos has some information about the recall effort.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/03/09/954383/-Scott-Walker,-Wisconsin-GOP,-wavering-under-recall-pressure

Apparently republicans haven't been releasing any information about how their recall efforts for democrats in the state senate are going, compared to our side releasing numbers on how close we are in different districts.
