Recall Organizers Intend to be Visible at Rose Bowl

Organizers of the recall effort against Governor Scott Walker say they will travel to Pasadena, California for Monday's Rose Bowl game featuring Wisconsin and Oregon, and will solicit signatures there from state residents. The group also plans to hold a rally before the game.

Also targeted are Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch and four Republican state senators.

In the Badger State we obtained tens of thousands of signatures in sporting venues...esp. at Packer games (Lambeau Field) and at Camp Randall Stadium.

Snotty Walker is a weasal not welcome here.

Scott (Fitzgerald) has his OWN recall to worry about!

http://recallfitz.com/2011/12/30/12000/

12,000 valid signatures to recall Scott Fitzgerald. . . need 5,000 more over the next two weeks

email: [email protected] if you're in their areas and can volunteer.

After all, the state of Oregon owes some good things to Wisconsin...such as the existence of our greatest U.S. Senator, Wayne "The Tiger" Morse(who was born in Madison):

we lost to WI by only three points that prevented MSU from going to the Rose Bowl, I have to say this. I'm very proud of the Badgers and maybe it is a good thing they are going to Pasadena. Good luck to the U of WI and good luck to all of you who are collecting signatures for the recall. You are doing a wonderful thing and showing the rest of the country what Democracy looks like.
