7. I Was Talking To A Lady Who Was Asking One Of Their Petitioners About The Recall.
Thu Nov 14, 2013, 09:24 AM
Nov 2013

I have been on the protest line for the last 3 weeks and have spent literally hours out on the street and at the anti recall office. the recallers are all over the place. They are lying about just about everything the Senator has done. They are claiming she is taking away their guns, she has an anti woman agenda, she is a corrupt politician and lord knows what else. They are even in parking lots telling people to sign without even saying what the voter is signing. The even have paid petitioners out with criminal records.

Based on what we can discern they are misrepresenting just about everything he Senator has done just to get a signature. They are going into gas stations and stopping customers getting signatures.
