4. That's only the beginning, the recall itself will be very ugly
because you know the Koch brothers are pouring in massive resources to keep that little bastard in office and the airwaves will be choked with attack ads by their front organizations trying to discredit all opposition to him.

The ugly AFP ads here are keeping me away from local broadcast stations and there isn't even an election going on in this state.

9. 540,208 signatures apiece for Walker and Kleefisch
but we will aim to get more to be on the safe side. Kleefisch is his Lt. Governor.

23. Wish I could be there to go door to door
Wrong side of the country. Plus, I think you need residents and registered voters.

7. The truly poetic part is you KNOW Walker is keeping up with the count
Must be really rough on him watching his political career and aspirations slowly swirl the bowl. At least there's always more room in the clown car over at Faux.

11. How is this petition thing working?
My mom is in Fond du Lac and hasn't signed a petition yet. Are folks going around door to door?

17. There are offices all over the state
and people are out collecting signatures. We are covering the heavily Democratic areas pretty thoroughly first- that means Madison and Milwaukee. My ward on the east side of Madison is 95% Democratic, so its worth going door to door even though it takes a few run throughs to get everyone. That means the senior citizens and busy parents etc.

On the other hand we have people with card tables in front of grocery stores who have gotten 400 signatures in an afternoon. Another man I talked to set up a board on the back of his pickup truck with a sign "sign to recall Walker here" and was in a Target parking lot... people just kept driving up to him. He said they must have been tweeting each other because they just kept coming for hours! Then he ran out of petitions!

24. It's a beautiful thing. Your efforts aren't going unnoticed on all the teabaggers
The politicians all watch these things, including Ohio, very closely. You're saving the entire country, you know!:hug:

21. Please, please, scare the crap out of all these rep governors.
I live in Virginia, which just went backwards to a tied Senate, rep house, rep governor and lt gov, who is the tie breaker in the senate. I want you to really SCARE them so they don't try that shit here.

22. That's awesome news!
Walker disgusts me. I hope he gets recalled. Walker is one of the most evil governors. I hate how he's bought and paid for by the Koch Brothers. I hope he's scared right now.
