Wisconsin Voters Launch a Recall

Wisconsin voters have filed recall papers against several Republican senators.  Apparently the voters don't feel like those representatives are actually representing them.  (That's the cool thing about democracy.  You can fire your politicans.  It's not easy, but it's possible.)  Go, go, Wisconsin!  *cheer*

As a rule,
I dislike recall elections,
and I'm a proponent of the idea that elected representatives are not parrots
of public opinion, but must act in what they believe to be the best interests
of the people they represent (and not merely of the people who voted for them).
However, inasmuch as Citizenlink is bragging about their effort
to vote out the Iowa Supreme court
and to take control of state legislatures,
I'm willing to make an exception in this case,
and others like it.
