From day one you’ve been on the front lines in the fight to defend our shared Wisconsin values from Scott Walker's unprecedented assault on the working people of our state.

Your efforts have been directly responsible for helping collect us more than 507,533 signatures to recall Scott Walker in just one month.

But we can't stop and we can't let up. We have to reach our goal of collecting more than 720,000 signatures before January 17th.

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.

Earlier today, along with our partners in the grassroots, we announced something truly amazing: In just one month, in just 30 days, in less than half the time granted, your strength and determination has helped us collect more than 507,000 signatures to recall Scott Walker. We are now well on our way to beating our internal goal of collecting more than 720,000 signatures!

We want you to be the first to know about a special update regarding our grassroots effort to recall Scott Walker.

Will you join us for a live online recall update at 12:00 PM tomorrow?

We want to thank you for your incredible response to our urgent request for financial help.

In just 6 days more than 5,200 grassroots donors chipped in with an average donation of $28 to help beat our goal of $150,000 in record time.

Your enthusiastic support is what is fueling our grassroots campaign to take Wisconsin back for the people. Your donations are directly responsible for keeping more than 42 recall Walker offices open across Wisconsin. We really couldn't have kept all these offices open without you.

In late September, Governor Scott Walker called a third special legislative sessions that was supposed to focus on job creation. Rather than focusing on legislation that would help kick-start job creation, the Republican-controlled Legislature used the sessions to push a radical right-wing agenda that threatens Wisconsinites young and old while still remembering to cater for Big Money special interests.

I want you to meet Dan. He's one of several hundred recall petition verification volunteers across the state working in one of our more than 20 recall processing centers. Dan is from Stevens Point and his job is to carefully look over each recall petition that crosses his desk line-by-line, name-by-name to screen petitions for errors and mistakes.

I have some incredible news to share with you.

In just over 24 hours we are already more than a third of the way towards our goal of raising $150,000 to keep our recall offices across Wisconsin open!

We don't have the Koch brothers, but we have a lot of people giving what they can. Can you chip in with a donation of $10 to keep our offices open so we can recall Scott Walker?

I have some urgent news to share with you about our grassroots campaign to recall Scott Walker.It won't happen. We won't recall Scott Walker. We won't restore workers' rights. And we won't elect new leadership that Wisconsin families can trust to create good-paying jobs and get our economy working again.

That's what we won't do if we don't meet our goal of raising another $150,000 by December 16th so we can keep our unprecedented grassroots operation going strong through the sleet and snow ahead.

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?
