2. Glad for some news. It's taking so long to get numbers, but I don't blame them for wanting to wait.

I still have a few more to turn in, but want to complete the sheet I have. People pounding doors telling me they are mostly getting people who have already signed, but time to branch out to the outlying areas.

Around Wisconsin: Rumors, Pictures and Announcement Tomorrow

Rumor #1: There is a quiet buzz flowing around social media that suggests we are over the necessary number of signatures to invoke a recall. As you know, that is 540,000 and some odd change. Of course, we cannot and will not let up, as we need 700,000, and it does get more difficult. But I must say, even with so many people having signed, we still are getting plenty of signatures, and the really big story of the recall is how successful it has been throughout the state. Walker continues to insist that recall workers come from out of state and are paid. While a few regional coordinators are indeed paid by the DPW (Democratic Party of Wisconsin), the tens of thousands of volunteers who take to the streets throughout the entire state are not. They are committed, they are rugged, they are undaunted, and they are insistent. The rightwing is getting very reactive because they can feel this intensity.

(from door to door no less) demanding and screaming "Who do you work for?" Man, if I'd known I could get paid for all these hours, I'd be rich, rich I tell ya! You don't need to pay us to recall this slimeball. That is a Republican tactic and Scotty obviously has us confused with his own kind.

6. TOTAL WALKER RECALL

I have had a lot of screamers and hollowing but they pale in comparison to the wonderful supporters and downright gestures of kindness. I am heading out right after I finish this and I shall be petitioning when the announcement is made. I have a good idea that it will be very good news because for the last fours weeks I have seen a downright commitment that I am proud to be part of, ONWARD TO 1 MILLION SIGNATURES!
