Besides the recall effort going on in Wisconsin, is there anything else that can be done. |

How about a referendum repealing the Bill which did away with collective bargaining? Is that an avenue that could be pursued? I know there is a legal challenge ongoing but even if the Republicans lose they will just bring it up again immediately and Democrats most likely won't leave the state again..Even if they did Republicans could just issue a 24 hour notice and hold the exact same vote all over again.. The people's voice must be allowed to be heard before the next elections or the damage will be irreversible. Sometimes Referendums are a good thing...

1. On April 5 there is a critical Supreme Court election. |

JoAnne Kloppenburg is challenging a pro-Walker, Corporate-State incumbent. This race is vital because the SC is split nearly down the middle, & a Kloppenburg victory would tilt it toward sanity when Walker's power grabs start getting to the SC.

4. Didn't stop the Governor and Legislature from acting... |

I think you've established publicly that you oppose what they're doing. What you need to do now is lay the groundwork for a Democratic Governor and Legislature to repeal everything, which means influencing state redistricting and finding competitive candidates in marginal or Republican-friendly districts.
