Third month of Wisconsin Capitol protests: Unions smell blood in recalls

The Defend Wisconsin website reports on the May 14th protests at the Capitol in Wisconsin, where tens of thousands gathered, as the recall battle heats up. There are several links on the page with additional information of the populist movement to recall GOP state senators who supported legislation that promotes the wealthy and business agenda at the expense of ordinary citizens.

Currently only 19 states states have recall laws and this page gives the details. I think recalls are one of the most powerful tools the public can use to shape policy and I'd like to see more states add these provisions to their constitutions.
