Walker recall petitioners have 507,000 signatures

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Organizers of an effort to recall Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker from office say they have collected nearly enough signatures to force an election.

The United Wisconsin coalition said Thursday that more than 507,000 signatures had been collected in just 30 days. They need 540,208 signatures to force the recall election sometime in 2012. Petitions are due Jan. 17.

The coalition says its goal is to collect 720,000 signatures.

Those fascist punks are going to be in for a nasty surprise when they realize they their fascist, thuggish tactics aren't working on the good people of Wisconsin. Walker is toast.
