1. Does the money go toward fighting his recall?
Why else would he need to hold it in a big outdoor venue and charge for it?

the Packers are a not for profit community owned team!!

As far as the $$ fee to go to this "job fair" it would be my bet it goes for W's lawyer fees.
Those w/o jobs prob could not pay that amt. or travel that distance to give any $ to Walker.

I am so hard core unemployable that I started my own home based business, couldn't wait because we had to eat, bills to pay and the mortgage let's not forget about the fucking mortgage had to be paid. Besides I don't need the help of NEOCON RAT TURDS.

4. This Shareholder votes
to keep that rat bastard Walker out of OUR house!

His bad karma could jinx the stadium. At the least it would be hard to get the stench out.

6. It's going to end up putting a spell on the Packers.
Wanker is an evil kochsucker and where he goes, evil follows. Good luck, Packers. :evilgrin:

7. F.Y.I., Here's a copy of the "working agenda"
From the WHEDA website:

http://www.wheda.com/root/SmallBizSummit/

From the long list of top-level state functionaries, this can't be a(n official) "Stop the Recall" Walker fund drive.

But I'll bet if you walk in and don't pass the "smell test" -- if there's something about your appearance, or demeanor, or
personal style that screams "poor" and "Lefty-Leaning" (instead of "rich" and "Republican") -- you might as well not bother
going.

This has the look of a "meet and greet" (a passing-of-the-business-cards) marketing and networking opportunity. For both
the participants and the state office-holders hosting the event???

It's frankly disappointing. I remember a few years ago, the Packers hired Bush's former press secretary, Ari Fleisher,
to be some sort of PR flack, but this is worse. I took a look at the Packers "events" website for Lambeau Field and
except for a "Mills Fleet Farm Fall Sports Show" last week, the calendar looked EMPTY from last April to next January. An
autograph signing here or there, an event for the NFL Draft last spring... It didn't look like much of anything ever goes on
at Lambeau, except the games. {But then again, this Nov. 1 event wasn't listed, either. So maybe there's a separate
schedule for private rentals of the stadium, Shriner's conventions or Amsoil or Mary Kay events, or I don't know what....}
