While grassroots volunteers from counties all across Wisconsin were standing out the in cold collecting more than 1.9 million signatures to save Wisconsin from Scott Walker, Rebecca Kleefisch and his cronies in the state Legislature, Scott Walker was secretly flying all over the country on a corporate cash bonanza to put Wisconsin up for sale to the highest bidder.

The total haul for Scott Walker? More than $4.5 million in just five weeks, with 61% of that total coming from out of state. 

While thousands of grassroots supporters from all over Wisconsin joined us online to announce that more than a half-million people have signed a petition to recall Scott Walker for his extreme agenda that has sent 34,900 Wisconsin workers to the unemployment line, Scott Walker quietly submitted his fundraising report to the Government Accountability Board.

Initial analysis shows that Scott Walker seized half of his $5 million from outside of Wisconsin, including a $250,000 check from mega-millionaire and right-wing extremist Bob Perry.
