Wisconsin Wants Clean Elections -- Sign the Petition

We are in the final days of a historic election forced by hundreds of thousands of grassroots activists motivated to take their democracy back.

With only days remaining, right-wing groups are on overdrive trying to steal the election with shady and potentially illegal tactics.

We are calling on Wisconsin's Government Accountability Board (G.A.B.) to investigate all claims of shady election misdealing.

Please add your name to our "Wisconsin Wants Clean Elections" petition that calls for fair and honest elections:

When Scott Walker pushed an extreme and aggressive agenda, the Walker 6 stood right behind him to dismantle our schools, our unions and our democracy.

The people of Wisconsin stood up, fought back and are now making phone calls and knocking on doors in support of Wisconsin AFL-CIO endorsed candidates Nancy Nusbaum, Sandy Pasch, Shelly Moore, Fred Clark, Jessica King, Jennifer Shilling, Senator Holerpin and Senator Wirch.

What is the other side doing? They are pouring as much money into the elections and pulling as many dirty tricks as possible to confuse and suppress voters.

Americans for Prosperity is misleading voters by sending absentee ballot mailings with the incorrect election date.

Right to Life is handing out monetary gifts to their volunteers based on how many absentee ballots they can obtain completed for their candidates.

A right-wing third party "election bullying" scheme is underway training poll volunteers with incorrect information which could lead to intimidation at the ballot box.

The people of Wisconsin have worked too hard to have the election stolen from them in the final days.

Sign our petition asking the G.A.B. to investigate all election related claims. Add your name here:

Stop the tricks, stop the games -- and let the people decide the elections.

I think we need to start from the top down to vote out all those long time politicians, they have rooted themselves into spending every nickle they can put there greedy hands on, I can only see one way out of this mess starting with voting them all out. Then start putting our out of work people back to work people with money will then again feel safer to spend there money, and then more taxes will be put back into the deficit in order to pay it off instead of raising the bar everytime they need more money for all there greedy needs and desires, I was always told you can not borrow your way out of debt, but the government keeps showing us that might not be true. I am thinking the past experiences should have showed us just as I said, but no one is paying attetion they are to involved in paying into there own pet organizations, and frankly my dear friends I'm pissed off on how those we elect into these positions spend or give our money without abandon or how about collecting some of what we have already given out. I think first we need to eliminate the people we put in since they are the reason we are in this mess now. I think it is time we faced the facts put people to work so they can get the economy back up and going in the right direction, since the government will be putting there hands in our pockets in order to pay for the mess we are in anyway just give us the chance to make money so we can live without the fear of loosing what we have now, I will quote our president now, is the time for change! I am not a smart man but I believe I am a sensible man
