Graeme Zielinski, Democratic Party of Wisconsin joins Thom Hartmann. Over the weekend - more than 30,000 Wisconsinites rallied in front of the state capital in Madison, Wisconsin to promote the effort to recall Republican Governor Scott Walker. Already they have over 100,000 signatures - one-fifth of the way to collecting the 540,000-plus signatures they need to officially trigger a recall. But unfortunately - those working around the clock to recall Governor Walker now have to worry about their own safety. Police are investigating at least two death threats against opponents of Scott Walker. On one threatening call - an unidentified man said, "If you don’t stop circulating recall petitions, we will kill you." In addition to the death threats - Walker opponents have also had political signs in front of their homes vandalized and stolen. So far there are no leads as to who is behind the threats. Regardless - the recall effort continues.
