Libertarians help to launch recall effort of Wisconsin Democrat and Obama friend Gov. Jim Doyle

Doyle's agenda: More subsidies from the Feds; More taxes for Wisconsin

A group of Wisconsin taxpayers has taken the unusual step of officially launching a statewide recall petition effort on early Obama supporter and current Democrat Governor Jim Doyle. The group held a formal press conference at the capitol in Madison yesterday.

Longtime Wisconsin Libertarian activist Rolf Lindgren is in support of the effort, and sent this information along to LR blog.

From GM Today (Greater Madison):

Wisconsinites Interests Now and the Citizens for Responsible Government filed papers for the Recall Doyle exploratory PAC in Madison today, which will allow them to start fundraising and advertising the effort.

Although they didn’t give a specific time frame, leaders of the groups said they’ll begin collecting signatures "within weeks."

"We’ve gotten extraordinary support," said Vince Schmuki, a representative of WIN. "There is obviously a lot of dissatisfaction out there."

Schmuki and others have attended state budget hearings in the metro Milwaukee area during the past week to show their dissatisfaction with Doyle and his proposed 2009-11 biennial budget. During the events, Schmuki said they’ve seen a lot of support from frustrated taxpayers.

From the Recall website:

Jim Doyle is the de facto CEO of a $30 billion dollar corporation we call the State of Wisconsin that is being rapidly run into the ground. The buck stops at the top. Here just a few reasons. There's more!
