"Signature Collection Fraud" fake
There was, (the video ha been yanked by the poster) on Youtube a video "proving" that Walker petitioners were collecting underage signatures.

Turns out the "underage" girls are simply rather short. Channel 12 news in Milwaukee tracked down and talked to the 20-year old girl.

The poster of the video refused to talk with Channel 12, and has yanked the video.

1. You know, I tried tracking down that video when I saw a freeper
thread about it, every time I tried it blocked me because the video was "private". It's been disappeared, I'm assuming it was a such a poorly made hatchet job that the propagandist who made it took it down.They also claimed that the petition workers offered the "children" cigarettes for their signature.

2. Petitioners are not req'd to verify voting eligibility. If the R's want to challenge...
... signatures that are submitted, they can.

That said, our petition volunteers don't have to scrape up signatures. There are plenty of willing, eligible, signers.


We're not paying our petitioners like the R's did.
