Wisconsin lawmakers could face recall elections after Governor Scott Walker signed a bill into law that strips unions of some of their collective bargaining rights.

And the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee is moving fast to mobilize public opinion against the state’s Republicans.

“We expect pins to get bowled over, pies to get rolled, but we certainly don’t expect our senators to get flattened. Last month, Sen. Olsen said eliminating collective bargaining is, quote, ‘pretty radical.’ But Olsen voted for Gov. Walker’s backroom deal to end collective bargaining.”

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow points to a SurveyUSA poll -- which suggests some Wisconsin Republicans are already facing backlash from their constituents.

“In the district of Republican Senator Randy Hopper 54% of his District would please rather have somebody else represent them now. He's up for recall. That's not 54% of Democrats in the district. That's voters in the whole district. That's not Democrats. That's voters. Those who elected them a couple of months ago.”

But it isn’t just Republicans in the crosshairs. In Wisconsin - an elected official can’t go up for recall until he or she has been in office at least a year. 16 lawmakers are eligible - and Republicans are launching their own recall campaign against as many as eight Democrats.

National Review spoke with the state’s Republican Party chair -- Mark Jefferson -- who says -- the GOP isn’t worried.

“I think we’ll withstand it, but only if we are able to mobilize our people and counter what the Democrats are doing. ... we do have a lot of taxpayers out there who have been waiting for these types of reforms to take place. And we think they’re going to stand strong on election day.”

Still - a blogger for Forbes predicts recalls could be a sign of a bigger backlash on the horizon for the GOP.  

“But the recalls are only a small part of what is likely going to be a huge anti-Republican backlash across the nation, as working Americans finally realize what that party actually stands for: an playing field heavily tilted toward the rich and powerful, toward corporate power, and against worker rights.”

Governor Walker announced that he is rescinding layoff notices he sent last week for 1,500 state workers because the cut to collective bargaining rights and public employee benefits will create enough budget savings.  (Source: New York Times)
