Through the snow and the cold, through the intimidation and the attempted sabotage, the volunteers who gathered signatures to recall Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and four Republican state senators will soon prevail:
Wisconsin Democrats have announced they will submit the petition signatures in their effort to recall Gov. Scott Walker next Tuesday, January 17 — with a massive drop-off of boxes at the state’s election administration agency, the Government Accountability Board:
Julie Wells, the Janesville grandmother and factory worker who triggered the recall, will be joined by volunteers from Wisconsin’s 72 counties, who will load scores of boxes from a truck dubbed the “Forward Flyer” into GAB offices.
Also present and available to the media will be representatives from the recall efforts against four Republican senators.
How many signatures are we talking about? The expected total is 1.5 million, across all the recalls.
This astounding achievement deserves some hearty congratulations. Please, send a short thank you note to the Wisconsin recall volunteers. We will deliver the notes to the Wisconsin Dems.
