The first Occupiers and an inspiration to the whole world. I remember the good wishes that came from around the world as they protested in the snow and refused to go home. I also remember when the Police came to the Capitol to join the protesters and refused to follow Walker's orders to oust them.

This will go down in history, the story of Wisconsin.

I KNOW you are going to win.

Now living in San Diego North County and pulling for you every step of the way! (While also fighting the similar darkness of arsonist/car thief Darrell Issa who threatens to start representing the non-awake people around here soon).

Half my friends camped out in the Capitol last spring. Wish I could have been there with them.

You can win this if you just get people to vote. I've seen the pictures of the GOTV crowd at the Labor Temple in Madison. It looked like fricking WOODSTOCK.

Who knows how the election will be determined? Voting machines? Suppressed votes and voters? Various other ways to cheat and connive?

regardless what you've done will bring plenty of good karma in the years ahead.

142. SHE's BACK-Kathy Nickolaus--Notorious-Wisconsin-FINDER-Of-Repub Votes-"Has Control Of Vote-Counting"
Mon Jun 4, 2012, 08:14 PM
Jun 2012

After the April controversy, Nickolaus pledged to step down from handling the county's election operations. But ahead of Gov. Scott Walker's recall election on June 5, the most expensive election in state history, recent evidence suggests Nickolaus still has control over the county's vote-counting. Observers and news reports from the recall's May 8 primary say Nickolaus looked like her usual self on election night. The WTMJ news station reported that Nickolaus "appeared to be very much in charge of the count." Says another observer, who asked to remain anonymous to speak openly: "On election night, Kathy Nickolaus was there, and she made it seem as if she was in control."

Republican county executive Dan Vrakas, who said "the public... lost faith in our election process in Waukesha County" because of Nickolaus' failures, has denied that Nickolaus remains in charge of election operations. But after Nickolaus' involvement in the May 8 primary, Vrakas took to the press to say he was "very disappointed" that she showed up. "I'd prefer that she wasn't here on election night but I can't ban her from the building anymore than I can ban anyone else from the building," Vrakas told the Waukesha Freeman. Vrakas said that a deputy of Nickolaus's had taken control of the vote-counting process.

143. I was driving through the 9th ward in New Orleans

a couple of months ago, and saw some volunteers with Wisconsin license plates rebuilding a house destroyed by Katrina. There were two vehicles with recall walker bumper stickers. With everything that's going on in Wisconsin they made it a point to drive down and help out in New Orleans! So from New Orleans to Wisconsin, GIVE WALKER HELL TOMORROW!!!!!!
