300,000 SIGNATURES IN 12 DAYS, WISCONSIN!
Edited on Mon Nov-28-11 07:52 PM by PeaceNikki
Per email from United Wisconsin!!

Keep it up!! :party:

http://www.unitedwisconsin.com/

You collected over 300,000 recall signatures in the first 12 days!

Dear PeaceNikki,

This number will be released to the public soon, but as supporter of United Wisconsin, we wanted you to be among the first to know - you collected over 300,000 signatures to recall Scott Walker in the first 12 days!

The energy and enthusiasm for this recall has been incredible. Over 300,000 signatures in 12 days – that is over 1,040 signatures an hour!

Scott Walker has taken to the airwaves, supported by millions in corporate cash, to defend his record of job loss and full-scale assault on Wisconsin's institutions and values. In all 72 counties, people are seeing through Walker's deceptions and are moving to take back our state.

This is an amazing accomplishment, and we need you to keep this grassroots movement going - we have a long way to go before Walker is out of office.

Please visit our website today to download the petition to collect more signatures, sign up to volunteer, get United Wisconsin signs, stickers and t-shirts, and make a contribution to help fuel our efforts for the coming weeks and months.

www.unitedwisconsin.com

Thank you for all you have done to reach this important milestone. 50 Days to go!

Sincerely,

United Wisconsin

6. DPW was clear in their communication that the number released over the weekend was not official.
I am overjoyed it's even better! :)

11. And mine was one of them!
A neighbor beat me to getting the forms and going around my neighborhood, with its sparse Lib/Progressive residents.

Happily signed for both Snott and the Uber crazy Lt. Gov. and directed him to two more suspected Dems in the neighborhood.

Woo Hoo! The BIG (Koch) Money is all over the TV with simpering ads about how Snott has "saved" our state from coercive unions and other evils.

Even if we get enough validated signatures, this will be uncomfortably close given the money gap and the fact that Snott and his minions are trying to "go dark" in the legislature to prevent any more heinous headlines before the vote.

27. I think you need to get twice the minimum, because Walker's henchmen will try to lose them.
You guys have your hands full and have done a great job working to eliminate this vicious threat to democracy.

:loveya:

18. I sure hope so. We have a long way to go.
Edited on Mon Nov-28-11 08:19 PM by PeaceNikki
We need a solid candidate who is well-known and liked. And this state is still deeply divided nearly down the middle.

Doh, replied to wrong post. Dumb smartphone. x(
