tazzygirl -> Walker recall efforts begin (11/15/2011 6:06:14 AM)

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The clock is ticking for opponents of Republican Gov. Scott Walker hoping to force a recall election next year spurred by anger over his proposal effectively ending collective bargaining rights for most public workers.
The petition drive to collect more than 540,000 signatures began in the early morning hours Tuesday, with more than 100 events planned across the state to gather them all. Opponents of the Republican governor must collect 9,000 signatures a day to meet the target.
Walker recall organizers hope to tap ongoing anger over the collective bargaining law and build on momentum from last week's vote rejecting a similar law in Ohio. Wisconsin doesn't allow for a referendum challenging its law to be put on the ballot, so opponents targeted Walker and the three state senators.
Efforts to recall at least three Republican state senators were also expected to be launched Tuesday.

100 million is expected to pour into this recall from both sides.
