Is it legal to pay for recall sigs as the GOP appears to be doing?
I have screen shot in case they take this down.
It is legal and the Dems do it too.

Madison - A 26-year-old woman was charged Thursday with two felony counts and two misdemeanor counts for allegedly making email threats against Wisconsin lawmakers during the height of the battle over Gov. Scott Walker's budget-repair bill.
Katherine R. Windels of Cross Plains was named in a criminal complaint filed in Dane County Criminal Court.
According to the criminal complaint, Windels allegedly sent an email threat to State Sen. Robert Cowles (R-Green Bay) March 9. Later that evening, she allegedly sent another email to 15 Republican legislators, including Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau).
The subject line of the second email was: "Atten: Death Threat!!!! Bomb!!!" In that email, she purportedly wrote, "Please put your things in order because you will be killed and your families will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks."
"I hope you have a good time in hell," she allegedly wrote in the lengthy email in which she purportedly listed scenarios in which the legislators and their families would die, including bombings and by "putting a nice little bullet in your head."
According to the criminal complaint, Windels told investigators “I sent out emails that I was
disgusted and very upset by what they were doing.”
Asked if she intended to follow through on any of her threats, Windels told the investigators "No," according to the complaint.
Windels was charged with two felony counts "bomb scare" and two misdemeanor counts of "computer message-threatening injury/bodily harm." If convicted, each felony count carries a maximum penalty of three years and six months in prison and a $10,000 fine, and each misdemeanor count carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in prison and a $1,000 fine.
WKOW-TV reported Windels was not in custody. She was expected to be served Friday with her first court appearance in late April, according to the station's website.
At least we now know that cr8f's real name is Brent Budowsky.Breaking news: Summer shocker for GOP in Wisconsin recall battle
By Brent Budowsky - 04/01/11 (The Hill)
The first nationally important election since November 2010 will be almost certainly occur this summer in multiple recall votes for Wisconsin state senators. The first petition with the required signatures will be filed imminently, probably today (Friday), for a recall vote to replace Republican state Sen. Dan Kapanke.
Multiple Democratic sources in Wisconsin tell me that all of the recall petitions are gathering significant support, ahead of schedule, and multiple petitions with the required signatures will filed in the coming days and weeks.
The signatures will first have to be formally verified. Of the eight Republican senators being targeted for recall by Democrats, if three of them are defeated in recall elections the Wisconsin Senate will shift from Republican to Democratic.
There are several Democratic state senators that Republicans are targeting for recall; time will tell whether any of them achieve the required signatures. If public opinion is a guide, the Democratic senators will probably win their battles while the Republican senators face great peril from the voters.
Get ready for a battle royale that will galvanize the attention of the nation as well as the voters of Wisconsin. Get ready for the first real referendum to reverse the move to the radical right, led by Wisconsin Republicans, followed by other extreme actions by GOP officials in other states that will give voters an opportunity to "throw the bums out" and repudiate the move to the extreme right.
Unions and teachers rock. They should get everything they deserve for being such good Americans and for bringing us together. Three cheers for unions and teachers and showing us what is important to them and especially for the children.![]()

Then the "recalled" person has 7 days to file a Petition:Election officials must provide a "certificate of sufficiency" or a "certificate of insufficiency" within 31 days after recall organizers have submitted the signatures on the recall petition.
If they file a petition, there are 31 days to decide the outcome of that petition.Oh, wait, the incumbent also has 10 days to challenge the signatures.Within seven days after a final determination of sufficiency or insufficiency of a recall petition has been made by the relevant election authorities, the petitioner or the incumbent against whom the recall petition is directed may file a petition in a Wisconsin court for a writ of mandamus contesting that determination.
So you could have two court sessions going.. One for the contesting of the Recall and one for the Signature status.So say 5 weeks. So we are out to 9 weeks.Within ten (10) days of the time that signatures are submitted, the targeted incumbent elected official can challenge the sufficiency of the signatures.
That is around Labor day, so guessing that it will get pushed out one more week.So, by my rough calculation, the Recall election, if it happens would be around September 13th.If a primary is required, the primary is held on Tuesday of the 6th week after the recall petition is certified, and the recall election is held on Tuesday of the 4th week after the primary election.
that will be spent by both sides for something that may not even change a thing.Not really but America is watching and deep ingrained opinions are being formed. Questions are being answered, people and organizations are being shown for what they really are.There are quite a few guilty parties here.Unions and teachers rock. They should get everything they deserve for being such good Americans and for bringing us together. Three cheers for unions and teachers and showing us what is important to them and especially for the children.![]()
The administrators who have signed the contracts over the years are innocent? The school boards that have supported the contracts and spending are guiltless? The voters who in general have paid no attention to their school board for years don't share any blame? The governor, his supporters, and the Democrats have all been wonderfully civil and well behaved people here? If you think there is a problem with the state of Wisconsin related to funding of education, there are quite a few parties (over generations) who share guilt.There are no deep ingrained opinions being formed right now. It is just reinforcing already deeply ingrained opinions. Partisans will see this issue as proof they were right all a long. Republicans will claim that unions are just a Democratic cash cow who'se only concern is milking the public. The Democrats will see this as a classic case of Republicans favoring big business over the public good and a direct attack on the rights of workers. As someone who is independent, I see it as proof both sides are pompous morons with only their self-interest in mind (ofcourse I have thought that for a long time).Not really but America is watching and deep ingrained opinions are being formed.

It's important to set the precedent that 1) the bill was passed with proper notification, to prevent the minority from fleeing the state next time there's an issue the two parties disagree on, and 2) that the judges can't preemptively halt laws from taking effect, to prevent one activist judge from over-ruling the state legislature at whim.I wonder how much taxpayer money is being spent on these 3 lawsuits(non fiscal nature is one) rather than drafting a new bill.
Nah, let's just blame those in the teaching profession... that's easier...The administrators who have signed the contracts over the years are innocent?

Maybe if the cowards hadn't ran this wouldn't be happening?Keep hitting and running cr8f, you obviously are just repeating what you hear as you have no clue what-so-ever.I wonder how much taxpayer money is being spent on these 3 lawsuits(non fiscal nature is one) rather than drafting a new bill.
I wonder why the Dems keep choosing to spend money that will only go to lawyers. The bill passed, deal with it. And, I'm a certified teacher. Plan your own retirements.I wonder how much taxpayer money is being spent on these 3 lawsuits(non fiscal nature is one) rather than drafting a new bill.
Regarding #1, I agree the reason they don't want to submit this for a re-vote could be that they want the notice provisions in the open meetings laws and rules clarified, but I don't see how that can affect the tactic of leaving the state to prevent a quorum on fiscal legislation. I think there would have to be a change to the quorum rules to prevent that tactic from working in the future. At least the most active current lawsuit (Ozanne v. Fitzgerald) is just about the interpretation of the open meetings law and whether proper notice (less than 2 hours) was given in this case. But I think the reason the GOP is not re-submitting the legislation for another vote is probably a bit more pragmatic than this. The main thing a re-vote would accomplish is allowing the immediate implementation of the new collective bargaining measures (meaning, they could moot the injunction), but they're probably facing a legal battle either way, and I expect the pressure that a re-vote would put on some of their members, the protests, etc. that would come with a re-vote is something they'd rather avoid. I also think the election might play a factor, but in my opinion the effect of Prosser v Kloppenberg is being overstated by many.It's important to set the precedent that 1) the bill was passed with proper notification, to prevent the minority from fleeing the state next time there's an issue the two parties disagree on, and 2) that the judges can't preemptively halt laws from taking effect, to prevent one activist judge from over-ruling the state legislature at whim.I wonder how much taxpayer money is being spent on these 3 lawsuits(non fiscal nature is one) rather than drafting a new bill.

Seriously? She's hearing testimony.Complaints aren't the problem-passing a bill illegally is the problem.

Make your bleeping ruling and let the process continue.
As the Republican stated in the article. What use is it passing another bill. They will just issue some other complaint to this judge who will put yet another restraining order on it until she feels it is time to judge on it.

If a law hasn't been created, the judicial system should not be involved until there is an actual law to rule on.
The arguments have been made from both sides and she has already made up her mind how she is going to decide this one. It doesn't take a psychic to see that.
So make your judgement and let the Republicans re-vote the law, or appeal it to the higher courts.
We all know the reason she delayed it for at least two months.. and it has nothing to do with "listening to testimony".
It is to allow the Unions to get every last drop of blood out of the government before this legal law takes place.
If you are Soooooooo concerned as you say you are, maybe you should start asking the unions how they expect the Milwaukee District to increase their city budget by 4 Times the current budget by 2016 to pay the benefits that will be given out at that time.

ZOMG!!! a text message!It is a joke. Access was denied for a security breach. Legislators have the right to enforce security measures and not let thugs stall the process.There are several suits pending. Here Politicus has many of the legal matters listed.
Cullen being locked out of the building and having to climb in through a window is pretty damning.
Access was denied to the Capitol that night, with only one of eight doors being open which caused a bottleneck and delayed entrance so as to miss the meeting. A Democratic lawmaker was turned away from the doors as well and had to climb in through a bathroom window.
Access was further denied into the Senate gallery; people were turned away — even though there are seats for 85 people, only 24 were let in. A guard standing outside the door denied access to everyone after the first 24 people. The doors to the Senate gallery were then locked for the next 40 minutes after a senate staffer claimed there was a security breach. These folks were smart enough to start a petition of people who were there and were denied access. There are just under 3,000 names on that petition. This is a violation of open meeting laws on multiple levels, including access and locked doors. Locked doors to the Legislature when the lawmakers are in session violate the state constitution. Lastly, a text message was sent to a person in the Senate gallery from someone attempting to gain entrance who was told by the guard that the gallery was “full.”
There are parts of that article that are founded in facts and parts that aren't, but all you focus on is that? That says a lot.ZOMG!!! a text message!It is a joke.

Perhaps people shouldn't have been breaking in through windows? Do you really think that these legislators just decided they wanted this done behind closed doors because they wanted a little peace and quiet? If that was the case why let people in at all?
Otherwise thugs could simply stall the legislative process at any moment. Kind of like how democrats stalled it by fleeing the state. Anybody that supports either action is not looking at the big picture.

Looks like the slams between posters here hasn't changed much.
This tuesday the state will have a chance to vote on how they feel about what's been going on in the state for the first time since this began. It's only a supreme court election for most of the state but the outcome may say a lot if Prosser or Kloppenburg win by huge margins.

If Kloppenburg wins then that is a tragedy for the state of Wisconsin. Vote Prosser all the way as should anyone who understands the law and how laws are made and such. What that judge is doing is flat out wrong and should be ashamed of herself for doing what she is doing.And, just to let others know, I am a certified Wisconsin teacher, have voted Democrat in each election I have been able to other than this past governor election in which I voted for Walker. What the dems and teachers are doing in this state is pathetic.This tuesday the state will have a chance to vote on how they feel about what's been going on in the state for the first time since this began.

He's a joke.Not at all. I'll debate with people until they sling mud and turn this into a personal attack. This is about Wisconsin and maybe the future of the country is these recalls work.He does it all the time. The beauty of it all is he is considered a joke and has no clue about that. It's funny, sad and pathetic but it is funny watching someone continue to make a complete fool of himself.He's a joke.
Your idea of "debate" must be a new one because I have read very little of your thoughts, ideas and so forth in this thread. I have, however, read many of your posts illustrating what you might think, what your ideas might be. But, personal thoughts, not much.Not at all.

Looks like another possible crony gets a huge raise

This isn't a blatant political favor to his benefactors, its all about fixing the economy in Wisconsin and creating jobs.Keep repeating that, over and over.
Awesome debate here.Where is the outcry in other states about collective bargaining? Where is the outcry from federal employees? Are you going to answer these or simply cut/paste someone's reply?Our lives begin to end the day we're silent about things that matter -MLK-

Are you kidding me???http://www.startribune.com/local/119051754.htmlhttp://www.startribune.com/local/119051754.htmlA judge ruled Friday that the restraining order will stay in place for at least two months she while considers whether Republicans passed the law illegally.

Still can't believe one judge can control a law BEFORE it is even Law!
This is utter![]()
Make your bleeping ruling and let the process continue.
As the Republican stated in the article. What use is it passing another bill. They will just issue some other complaint to this judge who will put yet another restraining order on it until she feels it is time to judge on it.

What is so funny?? that she is ruling on something that isn't even law yet and therefore shouldn't be judging on.Or that she seems to think she needs at least two months to decide?

For some reason Wisconsin is so Special, our public employees deserve better rights than most other States and even better than Federal Public Employees.
I think it's funny that you are an expert on the nuances of judicial law, given your historical nature of extremely partisan knee-jerk reactions.http://www.startribune.com/local/119051754.html

Because it's an obvious political move.It doesn't make what she's doing right now illegal.It is 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999% probability she will strike it down, so why delay it??
