Recall Walker Volunteer Appreciation - the photos. Ooooh, dignitaries AND celebrities.

[Scuba]

Tonight we had a celebration honoring the Recall Walker volunteers in our tiny community. Mucho, mucho thanks to our volunteers.


While ours is just a small sampling, the diligent efforts of small teams - grass roots teams - of volunteers like our has smashed the mark of 540.208 signatures needed to force a recall. On Tuesday the 17th (currently scheduled for 3:00 p.m.) the signatures will be submitted to the Government Accountability Board in Madison. There will be plenty.

We were really pleased to be able to bring in some special guests who went out of their way to honor our volunteers. Here's a pic of "fake David Koch" Ian Murphy of the Buffalo Daily Beast....

I've signed, and can't believe how many times I was asked "Did you sign?". EVERYWHERE in this great state of ours.


Thank you and all those great volunteers!

8. Scuba, where did you hear that we've surpassed the 540,000 count?

I thought they weren't going to release any number before the 17th.

10. There is no official release of the number of signatures collected, but....

... we have reports of county after county collecting 120%, 150%, 200% of the target they were assigned. For example, our county has a target of 6,200 signatures and we're now just a handful short of 12,000.


So, my report is unofficial, but I'm very, very confident we will far surpass the 540,000 target.
