please recall gov walker
as a louisiana citizen, i too live under a repressive republican governor.

this story - placing the recall efforts in wisconsin into the hands of walker supporters caught my eye last week.

http://www.fox6now.com/news/politics/witi-20111104-recall-walker-papers,0,721142.story

"The paperwork was filed by David Brandt of Muskego and a committee called "Close Friends to Recall Walker." The group must now gather 540,000 signatures in 60 days to force a recall election of Walker.

There's a twist in this story: FOX6 News has learned the paperwork was filed by a former donor to Scott Walker's gubernatorial campaign. State records show Brandt and his wife donated money to the 'Friends of Scott Walker in 2010.'

Because of a quirk in Wisconsin law, as soon as the paperwork is filed to start a recall election, the target of the recall can raise unlimited amounts of money until the election is actually authorized."

if the result of this filing is that the "close friends to recall walker" are trusted to deliver the signatures, the signatures may not be delivered at all.

good luck, and thanks to wisconsin for setting an example for the nation and the world.

1. We will!
We are psyched and ready to go for the 60 days that starts this week - and we know all eyes are on us, so we will get it done and do it right!

Thanks for your support!

2. We are working on it. Recall officially starts Tuesday the 15th
I have been organizing volunteers and frankly, the rage runs deep. I don't think we will have a problem getting the signatures even with his dirty tricks. Thanks for your support!
