Prior to Scott Walker taking office, Wisconsin was known around the world for our laws and traditions that encourage all citizens to directly participate in their democracy, regardless of their age, race or socioeconomic status.

In less than a year, Scott Walker and his cronies in the legislature have done everything they can to shred Wisconsin's democratic traditions in order to shut out those who disagree with their extreme agenda:

Scott Walker's extreme buddies want to amend our Wisconsin constitution to ban common forms of birth control and outlaw abortion across the board -- even in cases of rape and incest, or if a woman's life is in danger.

Will you stand up for Wisconsin's women by telling Scott Walker to end his war on Wisconsin women?

Unfortunately, since January, health care has been one of the key areas under attack by the Walker administration. Most recently the Walker administration's Department of Health Services announced a proposal that will kick 65,000 people off of their health insurance, including nearly 30,000 children.

In just 12 days, our people-powered movement has collected more than 300,000 signatures to recall Scott Walker.

But Scott Walker and his cronies think that tens-of-thousands of grassroots activists collecting more than 1,040 recall signatures every hour is "false momentum."

In just 12 days, and while unlimited corporate cash floods into Wisconsin for Scott Walker’s desperate defense, the movement to recall Scott Walker has collected more than 300,000 signatures.

While grassroots volunteers were out in neighborhoods across Wisconsin collecting more than 105,000 signatures to recall Scott Walker in the first 96 hours, Scott Walker was cashing in more big favors from the Koch brothers.

Just before our rally to recall Scott Walker at the Capitol ended, with more than 40,000 working Wisconsin folks in attendance, we learned that Scott Walker and his billionaire oil buddies purchased $1.3 million in false and misleading television ads to try and drown out our voice.

While you were staying up until 12:01 AM on Tuesday morning to be one of the very first to sign a recall petition, Scott Walker was airing a television ad in which he says, "Wisconsin's best days are yet to come."

You know what? Scott Walker is right.

Wisconsin's best days will be upon us soon because of the strength and determination of grassroots activists like you.

The West Bend School District recently released budget predictions that show they will have to eliminate more than two dozen teachers and many other positions.

In less than 48 hours, more than 18,000 Wisconsin residents have downloaded recall petitions.

Thank you to the thousands of Wisconsinites that entered our "First to Sign" contest to be one of the first names to appear on the petitions that will be filed with the Government Accountability Board on January 17, 2012. Here are the lucky winners that will be attending events tonight and tomorrow to kickoff our grassroots effort to recall Scott Walker:
