Walker Recall

It's on in Wisconsin! 

The grassroots group United Wisconsin collected more than a million signatures in the past two months to initiate a recall election of Republican Gov. Scott Walker. That’s nearly twice the 540,208 minimum needed.

That's almost as many signatures as votes Walker received in his 2010 election (1.12 million).  

Walker burst onto the national political scene in February 2011 when he introduced his "budget repair" bill which, among other changes, severely curtailed collective bargaining rights for most public-sector workers in the state.  

That bill, and Walker's subsequent threat to sic the National Guard on workers who filled the streets in protest, sparked a months-long uprising in Wisconsin that pitted Walker against labor unions, state and national Democratic officials, local progressives, and tens of thousands of angry Wisconsinites who flooded the streets of Madison, the state capital, and occupied the capital for several weeks.

This is a historic event by United Wisconsin and their partners to recall Scott Walker. 

Thank you for your continuous support,

 John Gedney, CAP Chair
