Last Oct. 3, four people who had met by chance seven months earlier sat down together over Mexican food to hash out when to launch the recall effort against Gov. Scott Walker.
These board members of United Wisconsin, the political action committee created with the sole purpose of recalling the governor, along with founder Michael Brown via conference call, spent two and a half hours weighing the pros and cons of a decision that would pit the fervent hopes of thousands of deeply alienated Wisconsin citizens against a governor with fundraising prowess and an unflappable commitment to his conservative agenda. They were filled with angst at the possibility of making the wrong call.
With their grass-roots and county organizers, they had been pushing for a January or February launch date. But, sensing a political opportunity fueled by the John Doe criminal investigation into top aides of Walker during his tenure as Milwaukee County executive, and learning Walker's chief of staff was resigning to start up a recall campaign for his boss, they picked Nov. 15 instead.
"That was the night I was the sickest to my stomach," says Ray Yunker, one of the United Wisconsin board members who made the fateful decision. "But the political climate had changed. We were thinking we had three or four months to get ready and suddenly we had about 40 days."
The next day they told leaders of the state Democratic Party and labor unions of their decision.

By the time the recall against Walker was formally launched Nov. 15, the database contained 250,000 pledges.
If you have handled the petitions you can see that many of them are written by one hand with only the signatures different. The dates are all one hand. The addresses, in many cases, are all one hand. I think that lists of people were assembled and illegible signatures added later. They certainly DID NOT gather these signatures during the time allotted.
It is worth reading this whole article at the source as a blueprint as to how to undermmine a duly elected government.
Wisconsin How to Overthrow the Government Blueprint Ping
If you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list, just FReep mail me.
What bullcrap. I could write fiction too.
“It is worth reading this whole article at the source as a blueprint as to how to undermmine a duly elected government.”
I predicted exactly this in a post a few weeks’ back:

Ryan Lawler, Kevin Straka, Lynn Freeman, Ray Yunker -- The Petitioners Perpetrators!
You are prescient, indeed! That is exactly what’s happening. And, I am convinced that they are cheating to accomplish their evil intent.

4 sore losers who are trying to nullify an election.
May they all rot in Hell.
They’re giving the finger to more than half the state.
What comes around goes around and they’ll get theirs with a defeat at the ballot box.
....a decision that would pit the fervent hopes of thousands of deeply alienated Wisconsin citizens.....

Juvenile, utterly transparent propaganda.
And what about the “fervent hopes” of the MILLIONS who voted Walker into office.
Tyranny by the TINY minority once again...
I’m two states away, but I see this as a great opportunity to bleed $$ from Dems that might be used usefully in other races.
There was another post that the Wi Dems are having trouble finding a competitive candidate.
Yes, I hope the dems waste load of money on this.
Unfortunatley we WI taxpayers are incurring huge costs because of these petulant children. IIRC, it’s about 10 million dollars for the state to do this recall.
I do hope the Demonrat party spends a gazillion dollars and gets nothing but disappointment for their efforts.
To hear them wail after they are defeated will be sweet music to WI conservative ears.
The looks on the local news readers faces if the dems fail will also be priceless!
correction: “loads” of money.
Lots of signatures (and handwriting) with very exaggerated forward or reverse slants. Lots of signatures (and handwriting) that looks like it was written with the paper on the lid of a washing machine during the “spin” cycle.
People who can’t spell the name of their town.
Guess who's winning?
With 51% of the vote: "I plan to vote for Walker" HA!
Kathleen "Occupy" Falk has 2%!!!
I don't agree with recall elections. I thinks voters should live with the consequences of their vote. If something goes terribly wrong like next door in Illinois, then impeachment is the way to go. A bunch of sore losers shouldn't have the ability to try overturning an election.
Sheeee-ite! I missed the poll. I posted this article from a MADISON newspaper. I’ll go back and vote now.
Poll is here:
On the right hand side about halaf way down. Give it a good FReep for Walker.
