1. Where are good places to sign? |

I'm a little worried about signing one of those fake petitions.
Thanks in advance.

Found the HQ in West Allis, pretty close to my house. All the offices are listed at WisDems.

10. In Brown County recall petitions are at the Democratic Party Headquarters |
|
on West Mason Street, and I signed the recall petitions at the Labor Temple on Green Bay's east side on Elizabeth Street between Radisson and Cofrin Streets. The hours at the Labor Temple are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

7. Some of the offices will do walk-in trainings, I think. |

It doesn't take that long, and they'll be happy for the help. Also, there are still training sessions being held around the state, according the WisDems and United Wisconsin websites (calendar).

6. At the our local Library |
|
I stationed myself at the public entrance and collected 40 (80 Joint)Walker/Kleeficher Recall signatures and I wore Recall Walker advertisement and they came to me.
Then we had a drive thru rally/petition signing and we must have had a couple of hundreds signature. This is going to be my life for the next couple of months.

14. I just talked to folks I knew. People came out of the woodwork once they saw one of my friends |
|
signing. It was awesome. I hardly did a thing. And I guess that is 60...30 on each :) Tomorrow will be awesome because I have a different targeted area. People are fired up!

With the talk radio heads in SE Wis threatening to make public and expose the signees, the last thing I need is to be blacklisted while job hunting. :-(
Any suggestions?

12. They're going to expose 700,000 petition signers? |
|
Edited on Tue Nov-15-11 09:20 PM by sybylla
Who's going to care enough about who signed the petitions to work through finding a few names among 700,000? And that's if we don't pull an Ohio and get 1,000,000 sigs.
Legally, your private political activities aren't actionable at work. That won't stop the worst of the worst from finding an excuse.
If you're really concerned, just don't sign, Jimbo.

13. I can see them posting the petitions online |
|
and a HR Manager somewhere doing a CTRL-F to scan an applicants name. Some of these cons would stoop to this. I have 60 days to decide.

27. I think if you can formulate a reasonable response, one |
|
that is not polarizing, you will be OK if asked.
I have had to tone down my rhetoric at times when talking with people.
I say I know (and this is true) that the head of house was laid off. He can not afford health insurance and Badger care is a life line for his two kids. I also say, I know there is abuse in Badger care and food stamps and I am all for weeding that out but I am not for kicking off families in need during these rough times.
Collective bargaining is NOT the only issue I am concerned about if they bring it up.

in a different part of the state than where I live. So people scanning petitions from my town won't see my name.

23. "Now is the time to take the gloves off" |
|
By Mark Belling, The Freeman, November 9, 2011,
"...Know this, also. If you sign a Walker recall petition, expect everybody to know about it. Signing one of these petitions is an official act and the petitions are public records. They are fair game for anyone to scrutinize and publicize. Think that's out of line? Tough. For a year my side has been bullied by tactics way over every line of civil decency."

28. It is a dividing tactic that Belling uses--just like Walker uses |
|
dividing tactics. Intimidation tactics are the lowest form of scum.

21. I've got about 40 sigs in my neighborhood so far doing doors |
|
and only 2 people said no. Two grumpy old men- one said Walker was saving him money. Most people are delighted to see me at their door and eager to sign.

29. Does going door to door work good in conservative areas? |

I live in a rural part of Elkhorn, it's probably fairly conservative but I'm not sure how much.

yes, it does feel good. And I'm so happy that so many signatures have been gathered this early in the game. Just goes to show you how disgruntled everyone is with Mr. Walker.

35. Yes, it feels good, but what feels even better is to |
|
volunteer to help. I spent three hours helping people sign; giving out bunches of new petitions to those stalwarts who were out pounding the pavement; and learning the fine details of what is involved in this recall process. That felt great - knowing I was actively helping to flush that Koch turd out of office, along with his Palin imitation. But even better was meeting and talking with people who are flexible, open-minded, intelligent, and passionate not only about making Wisconsin whole again, but making it better as well.(even ran into my senator - way cool to see them in person.)I strongly urge everyone to take a shot at volunteering at one of the local offices.
