From the WI AFL-CIO:
Brothers and Sisters,
We did it! Over one million signatures have been collected to recall Gov. Scott Walker. Later today, these signatures will be handed in to the Government Accountability Board for validation. Together, union members and tens of thousands of grassroots volunteers have collected enough signatures to force special recall elections for Gov. Scott Walker, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, Sen. Pam Galloway, Sen. Terry Moulton, Sen. Scott Fitzgerald and Sen. Van Wanggaard.
That’s right, all targeted recall campaigns reached or surpassed their signature goals! This is a historic moment in Wisconsin history. The people of Wisconsin are taking charge of their democracy and taking back our government from a corporate politician.
Signature Totals
- Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch – 845,000
- Sen. Terry Moulton of Chippewa Falls – 21,000+
- Sen. Pam Galloway of Wausau -21,000+
- Sen. Van Wanggaard of Racine – 24,000
- Sen. Scott Fitzgerald – 20,600
The people have spoken loud and clear and we are ready to put an early end to Gov. Walker’s reign. Next, the Government Accountability Board will begin validating signatures. After the validating process is complete election dates will be determined. Today is a day for celebration; tomorrow we will continue to educate our friends and neighbors on the disastrous affects of Gov. Walker’s agenda.
In Solidarity,
Phil Neuenfeldt, President
Stephanie Bloomingdale, Secretary-Treasurer
