DU members that were circulators for the recall of Scott Walker stop in this thread and say hi!

[bobthedrummer]

As for the rest of the DU membership that are not Wisconsin residents just remember those of us that got TWICE the required signatures (almost 1M) and give us some credit.

I was a circulator for the recall of Scott Walker. I also demonstrated with many others.



Here's a recent article about what and why we gathered and about a million signed the recall petitions years ago.

Recall the SOB

3. I don't live in WI...

I'm in OR but I hooked up with the WI Dem Party and Phoned voters in WI from here-to Please Vote!

4. If Scott Walker had movie star looks

we would all be in bigger trouble but remember dictators are ussually pretty funky looking .

Walker is a dictator waiting to happen .

5. As one who called many of your State Senators

and complained about the demise of my home State,will do again and again. Never trusted the YGOP ers from Eau Claire from the 1960 time frame. Always new these Guys would ruin Wisconsin if they every gained Political Power. Enough said.

6. I spent many hours in crazy weather in majorly red territory and I'd do it again.

[bobthedrummer]

10. Yep-it was a "polar vortex" in several ways PeaceNikki

[Lifelong Protester]

7. Didn't collect, but signed!

And stood out in the cold to protest.

[PeaceNikki]

16. We had the supreme pleasure of spending my mom's birthday at one of the largest protests.

February 26. It was cold and snowy but my heart and soul were warm with hope and solidarity. It was a magical day.

8. I sent money n/t

[Scuba]

9. Like PeaceNikki, I spent many hours in foul weather in red territory collecting signatures.

I was harassed and threatened, cold and wet.

And I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

[bobthedrummer]

11. Bless you Scuba!

[merrily]

12. I give a lot of credit to any DUer who went through that mess.

[Greybnk48]

13. I helped signature collectors

and went to several (2 big, 2 smaller but still big) protests with my kids and two singalongs. My kids held signs in Menominee Falls on street corners. I helped a circulator friend of mine find venues with groups of people where we could appropriately have the petition signed.

I, to this day, do not believe that Walker won that recall election.

14. Menominee Falls has been one of the Gauleiter's strongholds-and a base to "leaders" like Alberta Dar

ling.

Thanks Greybnk48, and your children too!

[PeaceNikki]

15. It's Menomonee Falls.

Used to live there.

[bobthedrummer]

17. OK, I do know that Lilly Rd is Main Street, not far from Appleton Ave,

[PeaceNikki]

18. It is! I lived near Appleton and Pilgrim, by the library.

Now I've gone deeper red. But it's beautiful here in Lake Country.

[Greybnk48]

22. My girls deserve the thanks.

They were harassed more than once in the Falls. One time PeaceNikki posted that she was there and I tried to contact the girls to find her and band together. It didn't work, but bravo to all who went to "the belly of the beast." I was in Madison with my peeps, and was only harassed once.

19. Spent lots of hours in the cold at three different locations in Polk Co.

Gathered a fair amount of signatures, but not sure the cold I caught was worth it. Don't know for sure if I would do it again.

[Greybnk48]

23. What I remember most about that time is the COLD!

The entire time it was bitter cold! At least you didn't sit on your duff and do nothing! You should be proud of yourself!

[alterfurz]

20. processed petitions/verified signatures...

...wife & I logged ~100 hours @Recall HQ in downtown Madison. Good times!

[Lifelong Protester]

21. I still get excited when I see an old "Recall Walker"

bumper sticker. I'm with Greybank48, I still can't believe the Democratic Party of Wisconsin could not get that momentum turned into a recall.

[Oilwellian]

24. I was a circulator of a sort

I circulated this video.
