When I first heard about the RW group threatening recall signers, I viewed it in the context of Voter id laws and my own experiences with the Wi gop.

When i was a recall petitioner, gathering about 700 signatures, I learned that intimidation was the norm. Open-carry was done to try to intimidate me as i sat peacefully in county parks in racine and kenosha counties. In Kenosha County, sheriff beth harassed us us as we exercised our rights. ( NOR and kenosha news reported on this).

Mobilizing Milwaukee voters will be critical in unseating Governor John Doe. The turnout in Milwaukee county in 2008 for Obama was 316,916 and in 2010 the turnout dropped to 209,929 for a dropoff of 106,987. Barack Obama won by 14%. If we are to win this election these voters must turnout. Statewide 400,000 voters that voted in 2008 did not cast a ballot in 2010.

This is a great opportunity to get out our Democratic base. Absentee voting is already strong and all indications are that a very effective GOTV operation is going to be in full swing.

Come to Milwaukee and be a part of a movement during the final GOTV campaign. We started this as a movement and that energy is what can tip the scales in our favor.
