With more than one million signatures on petitions to recall Scott Walker, Wisconsinites sent a message to the nation and the world that Walker’s Tea Party ways are not our ways.

The Tosa recall office processed 4,794 signatures to recall Gov. Walker, and 4,466 for Lt. Gov. Kleefisch.  That’s how many were brought in by volunteers, checked over, and then turned in to the Democratic recall office in West Allis.

Thanks for all your hard work on the recall!
