BTW Not sure if anyone is aware of this but WI people in general don't like and resent IL especially along the border. They fondly call them FIBS (f'n IL bastaards) recently updated to FIBTABS (f'n IL bastaards towing a boat). With IL and Chicago seemingly now baby-sitting the Dems at the Clocktower in Rockford (nice place to be held up in) many people now consider it a fight between IL and WI and you know how that will go.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Hundreds gathered in Green Bay in an effort to recall state Sen. Dave Hansen.


Hansen, from Green Bay, is one of 14 Democratic senators who left the state Feb. 17 to block a vote on Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s budget repair bill that would discontinue collective bargaining for public-sector employees.


The Saturday meeting was organized by Green Bay resident David VanderLeest, who filed the recall effort. VanderLeest says nearly 14,000 district residents will need to sign petitions within 60 days to force a recall election.

Hansen, who was at an undisclosed Illinois location Saturday, told the Green Bay Press-Gazette that they have a right to push the recall but he’s not worried because he’s trying to protect the American dream.

Reporting that police, who were supposed to close down the Madison capital at 4:00pm CST, and indeed ask people to leave at that time, are NOT forcing protesters who stayed to leave. In fact, there are off-duty police protesting there. All are risking arrest for peacefully refusing the request to leave, but apparently it's not gonna happen.

I think that any Democrats who are threatened with recall will be alot safer in their districts within Wisconsin at the recall election, than the Republicans.
