Related: About this forumWalker Recall Signers (WI) Intimidated Via Iverifytherecall.com - Update 4/2/12
Iverifytherecall.com is being used to target individuals for political retribution and intimidation.
The question is not that it is public information, but how that information is used.
The website uses signature identification software, you can put in a person's name or scan a zip code. Not only does it reveal your name or names of your family, it will also give out your address.

"I even grew up 6 blocks south of you but my parents scratched and clawed to get me out of MPS. I advise everyone else in MKE do the same or they can continue to watch their home values decline as Barrett bungles the way toward MKE becoming another Detroit.

"Sussex School Board Member Spelled Name Wrong Last Year AND This Year On Separate Recall Petitions!!
Belling was more or less advertising that you could get a persons address and then target them. He said that it was a more or less a guidebook to find liberals in Wisconsin and go after them for signing the recall.
Judges are being targeted:

The types of retribution could be mild which happening to me by an aggressive posters on my blog, they mentioned my wife's name and what city we live in in a clear attempt at intimidation, to the Witch-hunts against public officials and journalists, people getting fired from their jobs, to what I fear next is they will be attacking the homes and property of recall signers.

(6,262 posts)But unafraid. Live in "Walkersha" County, do not tweet, do not blog and only on Facebook to snag recent pics of my grandchild posted by her parents. However, did show as a favorite a recall Walker site.
The fact that others,are targeted is horrific. The list should never have become public info. Who dropped the ball on this issue? Don't know, but this is terrible.

(1,866 posts)I just want people to know that everyone of us who signed the recall are targets and a concerted effort will be pushed forward against those who signed it by over-zealous Walker supporters.

repigs love domestic terrorism. The Ultimate Dream World for most repigs (the vast majority - the sheep, the low-IQ, low-income drones with a crappy job or no job) is to be a member of some gov't organization like the old East German Stasi.
