1 Million Strong

Over 1 Million signatures were turned in for the Recall of Scott Walker, effectively guaranteeing that a Recall election will happen.

I guess I still have some reservations about the whole thing. First, what's our plan when he's out? How else will be take control of the deficit? Of all the "recall Walker" shouts and cheers I've seen over the last few months, no one, not one person has put forth any type of plan...in fact, anyone I've asked has come back with some sort of  "I don't care as long as Walker is out." and I suppose I couldn't disagree more. While I don't like the way he did things, I don't think the correct response is to oust him with no clue as to what happens next. And what's worse than not knowing what happens next? Not caring.

We'll see how it all plays out...but frankly, I'm tired of the whole thing. It's gotten far to personal, vengeful, and emotional for too many people and the general "as long as it's not Walker" sentiment is NOT what should be behind your vote. You should be interested and emotional about what you are voting for...not what you're voting against.

If we're going to recall him, let's figure out what the F we are going to do when it happens.
