Woo-hoo! 3rd WI GOP senator ready for recall!

Sen. Olsen isn't smiling today
Sen. Luther Olsen is the third Wisconsin senator up for recall! Petitions with 23,000 signatures, well above the 14,700 minimum required, will be filed today to recall Olsen, one of the eight Republican senators who voted to end collective bargaining rights for workers.
Republicans will lose control of the Wisconsin state Senate if only three of the eight Republican senators who voted to end collective bargaining rights for workers are recalled.

More than enough signatures to trigger a recall election have already been filed for Olsen's colleagues, Sens. randy Randy Hopper and Dan Hanky-Kapanke. Sen. Alberta (not so) Darling has been questioned recently by constituents in mall parking lots and Sen. Glenn Grothman has faced protests by lots of "non-slobs."

Wisconsin voters, keep up the good work! Find out more about how to recall your senator on the Teamsters recall page, and remember there are 258 days until Koch whore Gov. Scott Walker is eligible for recall!
