Today I would not want to be the the Fuhrer of the Totalitarian Corporate Plutocracy of Fitzwalkerstan, formerly Wisconsin.  As Scott Walker was in New York sucking up to a known corporate criminal, the heroic oppressed people turned on over one million signatures guaranteeing a recall election to oust Walker and other Republican tyrants this summer.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"18recall\"Democrats and organizers filed petitions Tuesday afternoon with more than a million signatures<\/strong> as they sought to force a recall election against Gov. Scott Walker – a massive number that seems to cement a historic recall election against him for later this year.<\/p>\n

It would mark the first such gubernatorial recall in state history and would be only the third gubernatorial recall election in U.S. history. Organizers Tuesday also handed in 845,000 signatures against Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch as well as petitions against four GOP state senators including Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald of Juneau<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The sheer number of signatures being filed against Walker – nearly as many as the total votes cast for the governor in November 2010 and almost twice as many as those needed to trigger a recall election – ensure the election will be held<\/strong>, said officials with the state Democratic Party and United Wisconsin, the group that launched the Walker recall.<\/p>\n

"It is beyond legal challenge," said Ryan Lawler, vice chairman of United Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

The filing marks a milestone following Walker’s controversial legislation ending most union bargaining for public workers<\/strong>\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
