Scott Walker Recall Effort Collected 507,000 Signatures in a Month
Wisconsin is well underway on their efforts to recall Scott Walker. But I think it's pretty ridiculous. While I may not agree with his policies, I don't think you should be able to recall a politician who only did what he said he was going to do.
Walker ran on the promise that he would balance the budget. The people of Wisconsin elected him, without bothering to ask him, how exactly he was planning to do that. Even though he never mentioned his plan to attack unions, the lesson we should learn from this is that the people and the media really need to ask these politicians what their plans are.
Politicians can be pretty savvy at answering questions without really saying anything, or just mentioning whatever issue is hot at the time, but people shouldn't vote for anyone unless they set out a detailed list of their issues and what they're going to do once elected.
