Recall Scott Walker Effort Passes 500,000 Signatures!

The Recall Scott Walker effort in Wisconsin is moving at warp speed and continuing to gather signatures at a blistering pace.  It took them only 12 days to get the first 300,000 signatures, and the good news just keeps on coming. 

United Wisconsin, the coalition group coordinating the recall effort announced that they have passed the 500,000 signature mark, just 40,000 signatures short of the magic 540,208 they will need by January 17 to put the recall election on the ballot.  

To be precise, they have collected 507,533 signatures but United Wisconsion is not stopping there.   In order to withstand the expected Republifool dirty tricks and signature validity challenges they are aiming to collect another 720, 277 signatures, 250,000 more than they need to give them a cushion to get the recall election party started.

Will keep y'all posted.

Recall Scott Walker Effort Passes 300K Signatures

In just a mere 12 days the effort to recall conservafool Wisconsin governor Scott Walker (R) has gathered an astounding 301,000 signatures.   They are well on their way to the 540,000 verified signatures they need to trigger the recall election.

As much woof ticket selling that Scott Walker, the Wisconsin  GOP, the national Republicans an d their FOX Noise propaganda ministry have tried to pimp in discounting the recall movement as 'sour grapes', it's interesting to note for somebody that isn't worried about it, the $2 million he's spent in ads trying to defend his union busting job performance say otherwise.

The United Wisconsin proponents have until January 17 to gather those 540,000 signatures, then once they are verified, the election can take place and the Democrats will probably announce their candidate to oppose walker in the recall election. 

Look for the GOP to dig deep into their political dirty trick playbook to try to come up with ways to slow the runaway freight train momentum building toward what is increasingly looking like a wildly successful effort to gather enough signatures to force that historic recall election in Wisconsin

It's On Scott Walker: The Wisconsin Recall Effort Begins

On November 15 the recall effort to unseat unpopular Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker commenced with the opponents of the GOP governor needing to gather 540,000 signatures by January 17 in order to trigger a recall election that would be scheduled for March 27 with enough valid signatures.   

If there were a primary in either party, that election would be pushed back again to April 24.

In just 48 hours the Recall Scott Walker team has gathered 50,000 signatures and if they can sustain that rate they will have the required number of signatures in 11 days.    Their target is 600,000 so they have a cushion for any that are thrown out.

The Wisconsin 14 Becomes The Sweet 16

The last two recall elections happened in Wisconsin yesterday to far less fanfare than the previous six ones that occurred a week ago.

This time it was two more of the 14 Wisconsin Democratic senators who bounced across the border to keep Wisconsin dictator governor Scott Walker (R) from imposing the anti-union bill cutting collective bargaining rights for public workers upon the people of the state.

It touched off a firestorm of criticism, anger and grassroots political action that led to the series of recall elections that concluded last night with two of the 'Wisconsin 14' senators, Sen. Jim Holperin and Sen. Bob Wirch facing GOP challengers.   Wirch knocked off Jonathan Steitz  while Holperin knocked off Kim Simac.  The wins kept the Dems a perfect 3 for 3 in defending their seats while taking two from the GOP.

The 19-14 GOP edge in the Wisconsin senate they went into these recalls with has been whittled down to a slim 17-16 majority with the clock ticking toward January 3, 2012. 

What happens on that day?   That's when the people of Wisconsin can start collecting the signatures they need to initiate the recall election to get Gov. Walker out of office..
