Scott Walker and His Buddies are Liars!
Despite what they want you to believe, Wisconsin is NOT broke.
Ever since Scott Walker took office in January 2011, he and his Republican posse have claimed that, "Wisconsin is broke" and "state government is $3 billion in debt". It is just as false today as it was back in January. Walker has tried to use this statement over and over as ammunition to attack all State employees and take away their bargaining rights.
Back in February 2011, Walker stated the following on the NBC show "Meet the Press": "Wisconsin is broke and unions use their power to block necessary cost-saving measures". Many analysts have refuted Walker's claim. Recently, PolitiFact has taken a closer look at Walker's statements and has come to the conclusion that, "The statements are false and ridiculous. Pants on Fire".
"United Wisconsin" is a grassroots coalition of more than 204,000 Wisconsinites & organizations who have united to recall Governor Scott Walker.

Who will the Democrat candidate for Governor be? How strong of a candidate will they be?
-
Where do we get the necessary volunteers to collect signatures?
-
Will there be a "fake" candidate to force a Democrat primary?
-
Will we be able to collect enough signatures on the recall petitions during the winter and holiday season?
-
What will the impact of voter ID and redistricting be on the recall (and possibly primary) elections?
