The grassroots organization United Wisconsin today (Tuesday, January 17) announced that more than 1 million signatures have been collected to force a recall election of Governor Scott Walker. The following statement may be attributed to Mary Bell, a Wisconsin teacher and president of the Wisconsin Education Association Council, the state’s largest union of educators:
“Today’s announcement is resounding proof that residents from every part of the state intend to stand up for Wisconsin values by recalling Governor Walker. We are proud of our members and leaders who volunteered their nights and weekends to help contribute to the success of this grassroots effort. It’s been amazing to witness the energy and excitement coming from many individuals who have never been politically active before, but who want to take action to help reclaim Wisconsin.”
