That is what we aim to do, Jed. The sooner the better. Recall efforts are
now underway.

BTW, I'm reminded of something Peatbog recently stated:

Yes, let's do talk about "...the will of the people."

First, a little history. Wisconsin's apathetic voter turnout (a 48% turnout)
in 2010 resulted in the election of a republican governor, Scott Walker.
Walker won the election by a slim 52% of those who actually voted.
Statistics show that 1,128,941 voters voted for Walker out of a total of
4,360,000 potential votes. This means less that 26% of total eligible
Wisconsin voters, 26% of the "will of the people" actually voted to elect
Scott Walker. The other 74% voted for Tom Barrett the Democratic choice, or
didn't vote at all because they were undecided, or they were simply
apathetic about the whole voting thing. Of the many posters seen down at the
capital was the following:

"I voted for Scott Walker, and I'm sorry"

Let this be a lesson to everyone on the matter that when voter turnout
becomes apathetic we open the door for the installation of dictators and
puppet regimes.
