We had a little gathering the other night (as we frequently do), and someone from United Wisconsin stopped by to say "hey." Not only did he give us encouraging news, but I think we managed to knock his socks off, too. Little had he known that our group has a 1,000 Challenge, for which a bunch of our petitioners have pledged to try to submit 1,000 signatures each. One woman is up over 800, another over 600 - just in our own little social circle. And there are a lot of social circles in Wisconsin!

...and to similar groups all over Wisconsin. Volunteering at Recall HQ in Madison, I have seen petitions from EVERY corner of the state, including a goodly number from "Walkersha" County itself. Weasel Walker started this fight in 2011, but in 2012 we Badgers are going to finish it!

You guys rock!

When you coming to Madison next? I think we owe each other a beer, or something...

I believe my count to be around 700 and we still have over a week left to petition. Damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
