7. Kudos to all those signature collectors!
They've shown us how to be politically active!

If everyone in the party had their determination
we'd have a federal single payer health care program.

12. 3 just 3, that's three, a trio, like the legs of a tripod...
Setting Kloppenburg and the recount aside, it's still looking good on the recall front.

In Wisconsin WE, the progressive movement, MUST establish dominance in one of the branches of government.
THREE, as in 3, will do that.

13. How about this: Democrats turning out to vote in record numbers.
I can remember years ago when the Tampa Bay Bucs football team lost a game right near the end on a bad call by a ref. The game was stolen from them.

So what did their coach do? Did he whine and cry about his team being robbed of a victory? No, he simply said that his team had numerous times to score earlier and that the game should not have been close enough at the end that they could have a victory stolen by a bad call.

Democrats, Independents, and even Republicans who agree with workers' rights and are opposed to the actions of the Walker regime should be far more motivated to get out their vote and do so in such overwhelming numbers so that the outcome is not even close. Really, it's only close elections and games that may be stolen at the end and Prosser/Kloppenburg was very, very close (I don't care how people here or elsewhere care to spin it: thousands of more Democrats should have bothered to vote in that election than did. You'd think by now they would understand the importance of these elections.).

15. I promise to turn out in a large number.
well...just one...but I will make sure my fam and friends get off their ballots in early.

We have mail in ballots in oregon and 87% of the people vote! Dems win when more people vote.

17. Here in La Crosse I voted for Kloppenburg the very first day of early voting.
I took my goddaughter and we stopped at city hall in our downtown and it took just a few minutes to go upstairs and mark our ballots (connect the line next to Kloppenburg with a marker and put the paper ballot in an envelope).

Simple, simple, simple.

We are each just one, but single raindrops can make a mighty ocean when we come together.

23. I took her to vote for her 1st time at our polling place last Nov. for the experience of being there
with everyone else to feel the process at work. Last time, for the Supreme Court race I showed her how easy it is to vote early. Our next vote will be for the recall election of Kapanke here in La Crosse.

14. That's the question!
All of them, the entire state of Wisconsin and all the candidates, need to be ready to fight back. I think they are going to need more than poll watchers and sharp people at the canvasses. I am not sure what to say about it. I have been a poll watcher, and a canvasser here in Illinois, too. Our laws differ somewhat, but I understand the process. At this point, all I can say is that I am glad Wisconsin has a paper trail. Maybe everyone needs to demand hand recounts of the paper ballots any time there is a questionable result. But what else? At this point, I do not know. Jimmy Carter, give me a call!
