Black Friday is a big day for the American economy, with businesses starting off the holiday shopping season with big deals. And in Wisconsin, another bargain is on offer: Signing petitions to recall Gov. Scott Walker!

On Wednesday, the state Democratic Party announced that volunteers would be collecting signatures near shopping centers during Black Friday, in their effort to recall Walker.

“Volunteers in every corner of the state have been working very long hours over the past week to get the signatures needed to take Wisconsin back from the corporations and cronies Scott Walker serves, and this weekend, they’ll continue that grassroots effort,” state Dem chair Mike Tate said in a statement on Wednesday. “While this means that some of them will miss out on time they’d normally spend with their families, they know the work they’re doing will ultimately benefit their families and the state far more.”

Officials at the recall umbrella group United Wisconsin told the Associated Press that volunteers will be collecting signatures on public spaces near malls and other shops — which if held to, would seem to put them in the clear against any complaints to law enforcement.

1. I was out for a couple hours last night. We had someone out all night....

.... lotsa signatures collected (don't have the count from my team yet - some are still sleeping) but it was a productive night.


Many People came by and said they'd already signed and thanked me for what I was doing.


We will get 1,000,000 signatures by the January 13th deadline. Or very damn close.
