Breaking: Walker's allies tell recall signers not to vote

Just got this email from Walker campaign about today's latest robocalls:

I'm in our situation room right now and I have an urgent update about the state of the race on the ground. Reports coming into our call center have confirmed that Walker's allies just launched a massive wave of voter suppression calls to recall petition signers. Here is what people are receiving across Wisconsin:

"If you signed the recall petition, your job is done and you don't need to vote on Tuesday."


Disgusting. To counter this insulting attack on our democracy, we need to fire up another call center to phone every recall petition signer with the correct information. This means we have an immediate need to place an additional one million phone calls. Can you pitch in with $5 towards our Voter Protection Fund to help pay for these calls before midnight?



I sent in my 5 bucks. Can anyone else pitch in????? Here's the link:

the only time they get engaged is during an election and these rethugs know that.Look at the story last week in Wisconsin a canvass person was asking questions to a guy who did time in prison 10 years ago told her he couldn't vote because he was a felon.She asked him how long he was out of prison and he found out that in Wisconsin as long as your not on parole or probation you can vote which he was. This is why canvassing and making phone calls are important.

A recall is so rare. Not many of us understand how it's supposed to work.

I hope he looses really big, it would do my heart good. Maybe he will learn one thing out of all of this, Wisconsin folks does not fall for his line. It would really be nice to add to the votes those who signed the recall petition. Good idea Scott
