Recall Walker Rally at Capitol Draws 25,000 to 30,000
Huge crowds show up Saturday as recall organizers announce they've collected more than 100,000 signatures on petitions.

As tens of thousands of people descended upon the state Capitol Saturday, organizers of the effort to remove Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker from office announced they have collected more than 105,000 signatures on recall petitions.

“As of (Friday) night — the fourth day of signature collection, more than 105,000 Wisconsin residents have already signed their name to a petition to recall Scott Walker," said Heather DuBois Bourenane, a volunteer with United Wisconsin, the group spearheading the recall effort. "Across the state, people are talking with their friends, family and neighbors about Walker’s destruction and are doing all they can to end his days as governor."

2. I've read 540,000 minimum.
If so, they've got 20% in 5 days. Not bad.

3. the article
says 540k by Jan 17... they are shooting for between 500k, and 600k.. prudent i would say, considering the false flag efforts of the Republicans..

5. Yes, apparently the Republicons are out to cheat the people of the state
by deliberately thwarting efforts to run an honest election. Republicons really do hate democracy and the American Way, it is clear by their words and actions.

4. Yep, here in Wisconsin we know how to gather a protest crowd.
We are going to need as many more signatures over the required number that we can get. This is going to be a hard and tough battle and we need to be smart enough to anticipate and counter all the Republican dirty tricks and gaming that are coming.

19. They need much more than the limit to overcome GOP crookedness before and after they're turned in.

Not to mention when the voting to recall him actually starts. Hard slog there. Stand tall, Wisconsin, we love you.
