Vote Early!!! Get out and re-elect Governor Scott Walker!
To all Wisconsin residents -
Early absentee voting started Monday, May 21st, for the gubernatorial recall election. Reports from across the state indicate that voter turn out to early absentee vote has surprised many clerks in the sheer number of votes being cast. In some municipalities there were lines to early vote. Chalk this up to the impressive and powerful union boots on the ground effort. Some estimates I have read puts the number of paid union foot soldiers from places like Ohio, Illinois, New Jersey and North Carolina, in the tens of thousands. Will any or all of these out of state union paid union workers vote? Maybe, let's face it, cheating is not something the Democrats/unions will shy away from especially in this election - the stakes are too high for the unions. The battle cry for this election is no holds barred! This vast paid organization will not overlook or ignore one possible Barrett voter - the effort will be massive in places like Milwaukee and Madison and of course on college campuses.
It is critical that everyone vote, your husband, wife, mother, son or daughter, aunts, uncles. . . you get the idea. Please do not take for granted that Walker is ahead in the polls and he should win. Many pundits have said that which ever side can mobilize its voters will be the winning side. We cannot let apathy or confidence keep any one of us away from the polls. This is far to important to the future of Wisconsin to sit back and leave it up to the rest of us.
Early absentee voting this past Monday and will run until Friday, June 1st. You will not be able to vote on Monday, June 4th - the day before the general election on Tuesday, June 5th.
Village of Hartland you can show up in person at town hall (where the police station is) from 7:30 am- 4:30 pm Monday thru Friday and cast your ballot.
This gives you almost 2 weeks to go and cast you ballot at your convenience. If you are unable to get to town hall, download the absentee ballot form and mail it in. Your town clerk will then send you a ballot thru the mail. Follow the directions and send it back in.
If you are not registered, you can register and vote at the same time in person at town hall during the early voting period. Bring id and proof of residence to register, it takes about 3 minutes.
Please feel free to forward this information on to family or friends. It is vital we all get tot the polls whether early, by absentee or on June 5th.

***Since absentee voting began, it has been estimated that almost 12,000 people have turned out in Madison and Milwaukee - some being driven to polling places in vans provided by liberal organizations. Conservative talk show host (WISN 1130) Mark Belling, discussed this on his show yesterday. In addition Belling stated that he believes that voter fraud by the left will account for almost 2% of the final vote totals when all is said and done. I agree.
We know that without Voter ID in place, voter fraud will be occurring - as it has in past elections. Already its been discovered that the Democrats have had access to various UW college campus student e-mail databases - sending mass e-mailings "helping educate" the students on how to vote in a recall (wink wink). Surely ACORN, the unions, and other liberal organizations like moveon.org will be visiting our state to "help" with the voting. The Democratic motto (similar to that of American Idol and Dancing with the Stars) "Vote early, Vote often" - will be in full swing. From the start, Walker will be behind - perhaps by tens of thousands of fraudulent votes - and have to make up ground.
Be sure to encourage anyone you know who supports Walker to get out and vote!!!
Walker's reforms ARE working. Wisconsin is in the best financial shape it has been in a long time and is heading in the right direction. We must vote to continue to allow Walker to do his job - the job the majority of Wisconsin voters elected him to do in 2010.
The ONLY way Governor Scott Walker will lose this election is by apathy - apathy from Walker supporters who don't think they need to vote because they assume Walker will win. Don't assume anything - what is at stake is too important for the future of our state.
GET OUT AND VOTE - AND ENCOURAGE OTHER WALKER SUPPORTERS TO DO SO, TOO!!!

Now I predict that the unions and their liberal followers WILL 100% guaranteed place fraudulent votes for Barrett. I will also guarantee that the liberal judges and DA's will look the other way.

Unfortunately, to vote "against" Walker you have to vote "For" Barrett. If this is a contest of "Standards", as you put it, Walker wins in a landslide. Just one example:
Walker signed the most compreshensive Victims Rights legislation in recent State history that protects rape victim's right to privacy. Meanwhile in Milwaukee, Mayor Barrett endorses a Police policy that considers over 200 rapes per year as "Normal". Milwaukee recently set a record for Domestic Abuse deaths. What does Barrett do? NOTHING. He allows the police department to increase their response time by almost 4 minutes in the past 4 years so victims have to wait longer and criminals have more time to get away.
We need to hold Wisconsin to a higher standard than Barrett holds for Milwaukee.
Walker is winning on jobs, fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, crime and victims' rights.

We do hold them to a higher standard:
So tell me about Barrett’s higher standards. Tell me his plan for jobs the budget; tell me more I’d like to hear his plan. Ask him why he used parts of Walkers plans to help his beloved city.
Funny when he ran the first time he talked about fixing the state’s deficit, Now he claims it was all made up by Walker so tell me when was he telling the truth: The first time he ran telling us he was going to fix the deficit or now when he says there is no deficit it’s all made up.
Just be happy you folks in Milwaukee that voted for him are going to be able to keep him.
He’s nothing more than an empty suit.

"Yes, get out and vote AGAINST the liar that has been dubbed "governor". We should be holding our elected officials to higher standards. Period.

As horribly high as crime in Barrett's city already is, he actually had his Police Chief LIE about the numbers to make them seem better:

Barrett sits idle and accepts 200+ rapes per year as "normal" and even that high number is a LIE!

tens of thousands."
Care to provide a link or a source to these "estimates" you have read.
WFB resident - May 23, 2012 4:36 PM
early voters !

Why? Is that where I will find Hemmer's sources?
Seems like there is always leg work associated with asking for the link to
conservative sources.
jman99 - May 23, 2012 5:59 PM
Just how do you prevent a rape? Have you ever prevented a rape personally?
How do you know when it's going to happen? How do you stop the rapists?
Most rapists are acquaintances of the victims. Is ther e a victim type that police should be following.
Please tell us more on how Scott Walker will prevent rapes.
Tom Bal - May 23, 2012 6:00 PM
Winner takes all.
If Barrett wins I no longer post if Walker wins you no longer post.
And when you lose I’ll give ya double or nothing with the Anointed one.
Got any what say ye
Tom Bal - May 23, 2012 6:13 PM
Would you please start reading what was said.
No one said TrolleyTommy could stop anything but what was said was numbers were fidgeted to make the city look better than it was really was.
The chief lied about felonies and misdemeanors miss categorized to show better N u m b e r s
In other words Lies were told same as this recall creosap
What don’t you understand about his comment?
Really what kind of education did you receive Jethro.
Remember comprehension.
Repeat it a couple time in the mirror see if that helps.
jman99 - May 23, 2012 7:01 PM
What mayor doesn't want his city to look better than it really is? That's called Marketing.
It is American as Apple Pie.
God, Hayett must have put extra bleach in his white sock load this week.

Ex , every thing that a conservative shows you or tells you you claim a lie ! or false
hood . It does not matter where it comes from (like walkers numbers from the us
government to anything !! You and your friends deny and claim lie . SO instead of
telling you or showing you a link I will just tell you to see where you can actually see
it for yourself !! So now you deny trying to see it for your self . Well the old saying is
: you can lead a horse to water , but you can not make him drink !! In your case it is
an assel ! Just guess what humans think when an assel does not allow himself
sustenance ? lol...

Yes but you have to be there at the instant when it happens to prevent it. And given that most of them occur indoors how the heck do you do that?
You have to distinguish between the two types. 1) where the victim and the perp know each other ( date rape etc. )
2) random /serial/unknown perp. ( these do not happen as often as you think they do, but are the ones most spectacularly covered by media.)
1) can be reduced by Education of young men as this is the key to reducing rape rates over all.
2) is a different scenario which is often associated with mental health issues on the part of the perp.
