This is from an email I just received from the Barrett campaign:
"If you signed the recall petition, your job is done and you don't need to vote on Tuesday."
Tom Barrett mentioned on tonight's Ed Show (broadcast live from Madison) that he had just recorded a robocall message refuting the one mentioned above.
