Another civics lesson

Who would have thought...I'm now learning about recall elections.

There are efforts to recall 8 Senate Republicans ( and I believe 3 Democrats?)

I traveled to Fond Du Lac to go door to door...I have to admit I was nervous...this wouldn't be my first choice of how to spend a Sunday.

Here is what I learned...of those we talked to the majority did support a recall, were happy to sign and thanked us for coming to them.

There was confusion about what was going, some people didn't know that a recall was an option or how it worked, one person said..I can't make a difference ( but, of course, she can)

Memorable moments:
First house: an elderly couple that was excited because they thought I was there to recall Walker but happy to start with recalling Hopper.(a good start)

House 2: Elderly couple, he was hooked up to oxygen. He thanked me for coming since it is hard for him to get around.

An older women who said : I didn't expect this..things have gotten out of hand.
Although she was in her car on her way to work..she stopped to sign.

A young woman who said I'm Republican...this is really hard for me...they aren't voting for what I value. ( She actually took a form so she could register more people)

So all in all...a good day. We got 27 signatures. 27 people who's voices have now been hard and who are more engaged with the legislative process. Plus I had a great drive up...thanks Susan for driving.
