I am not advocating the recall of all those in the house and senate who voted for the inclusion of a timetable, just those who sold their votes for special interest earmarks (pork). It seems to me illogical that if one believes placing a timetable restriction on troop funding is dangerous, then how does the insertion of an earmark in any way make it less dangerous? If we make the natural presumption that national security were outweighed by political favor, then it would seem to me that a recall based on at most; violation of oath of office or at minimum dereliction of duty would be in order. Since most states allow recall under these conditions, do you think this should be pursued?

most states allow for recall with the submition of petition containing the number of signatures equivalent to 25% of the votes cast in the previous election

yes, buying votes through earmarks should be banned and when you put your personal interests above national interests you should be tried in court- treason maybe

Sure, set it up. The only flaw is, they are not going to recall themselves. The system is set up to keep the status quo: rich elitists continuing to be "elected" to represent a country where the majority are neither rich nor elite. Your pseudo-representatives are caught up in the "strategy of confusion" and the sad part is, they have the ability to pierce the veil. Unfortunately, money talks and idelism walks.
