Scott Walker Recall: Tea Party Plans To Review Petitions

Menomonee Falls Patch:

Tea Party groups in Wisconsin and around the country have recruited nearly 10,000 volunteers from 49 states to scrutinize the signatures and verify that people who signed petitions are indeed who they say they are.

On top of that, the nationally known Tea Party Express is offering its support of the Republican governor and is actively raising funds to defend Walker a the recall. The group is sending regular emails its supporters, imploring them to make donations to "help us stand up for Walker and the Tea Party values that are under attack by Obama's campaign machine and his radical union mobs!"

Walker did not mind a recall when he got his Milwaukee job in a recall!

If they are allowed to do that, then I hope all the signatures on the petition to recall "Obama Care" are as closely scrutinized.

The TP bombed in the Congress, and even Boehner sidesteps them now. Failure in greatest sense, their greatest accomplishment was bringing down the Republican majority in the House with their "all or nothing/gridlock" mentality,(thanks btw). Let's see what antics they pull in WI...

The baggers recruit from other states to peruse Wisconsin signatures?
That is ridiculous. No wonder that malignant group is bseing shunned.
Of course the GOPers pulled the same kind of nonsense (bald faced lies) about ACORN and the weak kneed Democrats hid under their desks.
I thinks Democrats are beginning to stand up to the right wing bullies.
'Bout time.

Thanks for the link, so how can you enter the information from home and it still be considered legitimate? I would question the honesty behind that, who is to say that the names are going to get entered with this type of methodology?

Judging by their badly misspelled signage, I don't see how they could verify a name. How many legit names would they call into question ? As for counting, each one can only get to nineteen since they'd forget to add in the digit that counts both hands and feet.

Next up...Tea Party volunteers to assist with checking the voter lists, removing anyone suspicious, or with a name similar to any black person they've ever heard of...

What the Tea-Party doesn't seem to understand, is it isn't Obama's campaign or radical union mobs driving the recall, but about the regular people of Wisconsin. They are the ones under attack. It's not about unions, it's about having a voice, having the right to make decisions about the future of their jobs and their lives. It's about a collective voice, not the voice of one party.

Not sure why the TeaParty would have a voice in this matter? Can just anyone go over the petitions? If so I am free on Tuesdays and Thursdays, where do I sign in? But it is a moot point anyway since I feel sure that the Gov. will do his upmost to keep these out-of-state folks and their bus from coming into Wisconsin to muddy the waters.

I hope you are being sarcastic!

The tea party isn't even recognized as a political party! They should be nowhere near those signatures.

[Kenneth Dewey]

What they are doing is doing an independent review of the petitions in order to keep the recall process fair. All they want to do is make sure that names are on the petitions are legitimate. Each person only signing once and giving people an opportunity to make sure that their name is not on the petitions if they did not sign it.

I am sure the city can handle that.

Those are the reasons that are being portrayed, really I find it hard to believe (with their track record) that their only trying to be helpful and ensure the recall is legitimate.

Huffington Post has a link put on google about Ron Paul's S.C. Endorsement and when you click on it they ONLY gave Mr. Paul 3 lines of coverage.

That is a PERFECT Example of how they have been blacking out the next President of America.

Don't let any body make you think that God chose America as his divine messianic force to be ...a sort of policemen of the whole world!

...God has a way of standing before the Nation with JUSTICE!...and it seems that I could hear God saying to America "Your too Arrogant"

If you don't change your ways I will rise Up and Break the Backbone of your Power and I will place it in to the hands of a Nation that doesn't even know my Name!

Be Still and know that I am God!!

That's funny. Ron Paul could never be president. The comedy tab is over a bit to the right.

[pollclaire]

I would flag that for being off-topic, but it's so absurd that I think it should stand.

Whatever. Ron Paul 2012, if that makes you happy.

Please, let it stand. This one's a classic.

Yeah, I'm with frank...let it stand....8-)

Don't trust ANYTHING the teabaggers do.... I wouldn't trust them to vet signatures. State shouldn't either... It should be NON PARTISEN

I am surprised that a group can be acknowledged as having any standing! Can the used car dealers or real estate brokers join the fun? I would say the boy and girl scouts but they are not old enough to vote, of course the Governor may not care about that.

Why does this sound like the Koch Brothers sending in proxies to guard their "investment" in Scott Walker? Could be because because both the Tea Party Express and Americans for Prosperity are primarily funded by Koch Industries! Scott Walker is the shill of the Koch Brothers as has been shown by the "prank" call that exposed this sycophant for what he is...any attempt by the Tea Party to claim "fraud" should be viewed in that light or as their other attempts to claim "voter fraud" that amazingly no one else is able to verify.

[A Dub]

07:56 PM on 01/15/2012

Agreed.

[MauricioC]

03:54 PM on 01/15/2012

So now Scott is depending on the Tea Party to review the signatures? That should NOT happen. Walker is actually using a partisan organization to review recall petitions against him. There will be nearly 3 quarters of a million votes for him to be recalled. Most likely he WILL be recalled. However, if he is not after this so-called "review" by the TP, it would be a fraud that stinks so bad that it could NEVER be hidden.

Scotty, you need to face the music and step down, instead of letting the Tea Party be your shock troops. Because if they do cheat for you, I don't think the voters of Wisconsin are going to take that sitting down.

I think this is going to come as a real shock to Snottyco.
