Yesterday and today, Mark Belling at Newstalk 11:30 AM radio, has been discussing the early voting that started yesterday. He said he went to vote yesterday, but could not get into the Milwaukee Municipal Building because vans were double parking dropping people off. He even went around the block and still could not park. One of the white vans had a sign on it that said Wisconsin Jobs Now.

On today’s show, Mark stated he figured the turnout was high yesterday because it was the first day of early voting, so tried again this morning. He did not go completely around the block but saw two more vans full of people; one was marked as Wisconsin Jobs Now Van # 16. This was at the Zeigler building.

He has spoken to people in Madison and has been told that the polls there are reporting 25-30 minutes wait times! While the Tea Parties and Republicans have been centering on our GOTV projects, we have missed the boat! June 5th is not the voting day, it is only the LAST day to vote. We could be voting from yesterday through June 5th! I don’t think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out Milwaukee and Madison are NOT voting for Gov. Scott Walker. Apparently, the same thing is also going on in Green Bay.

Besides that, some of the polling places in Milwaukee are staying open until 7:00 p.m. which benefits Tom Barrett. They are even going to be open on Sundays and Memorial Day! I have not heard of any of the suburban polling places staying open late.

Even with our calling, many people have Caller I.D. and are not answering the phones. The democrats have brought in people from out of state who have full-time jobs doing nothing but bringing people to the polls to vote. Many of these people are ones who would NOT normally vote. Therefore, the democrats are picking them up and waiting for them to vote and taking them back home-it can’t get easier than that.

Please visit the website http://wisconsinjobsnow.org/ and see the organization. They have maps that show pickup places, people can click on a link and request a pick up etc. There is no Republican effort to match this.

We MUST start offering rides and letting our conservative churches and organizations know to do the same. Please contact your local Republican office or Tea Party group and let them know if you are available to pick up voters who may have no other way to get to the polls. Ask your friends and neighbors to do the same.

Donald Driver wins Dancing with the Stars! Awesome! Now we need to have as many people vote for Governor Scott Walker on or before June 5th!

I hear both of you. I think the demoRAT & union activity has picked up from where it was, because of all the indications that they were going to get a good ol' can of whoop ass opened up on them. Now it looks like they are doubling down on their efforts (including non-resident students, same day registrations, multiple voting, etc. We need to pray & work & contribute that much harder. The good news is that the WI GOP & Scott Walker & the 4 senators in the recall, are fighting hard and not conceding anything this. We gotta keep up the good fight. I am optimistic for the results, but I don't want to get complacent either.

Pray -- Work -- Fight!!!

If Walker wins big, he immediately becomes vp material w Romney.

This will explode Leftists heads from coast to coast.

I hear ya.... but I hope & pray that Walker stays in WI to keep the pressure on the RATs & unions. Now that we got them on the run, we gotta double down on the RAT bastard socialist commies!

I sent him money from Montana twice. Good job sgtyork recognizing this battle is from sea to sea. Everyone needs to remember that the facebook underwear bloggers are stealing money from their mommy's purse to send to Obama and his minion of thieves. They truly believe that he will buy them a better house then mommy and they will never have to work.

My confidence is starting to wane a little bit. The RATs are dead serious and are not giving up the fight in WI and will do ANYTHING necessary to win this fight. I hope & pray that Repubs in WI and throughout the country will turn out in devastating numbers and crush the RAT bastard demoRATs & union thugs.
