More dirty tricks: Walker backers call recall petition signers and tell them they don't need to vote

[Scuba]

It's obvious the Rethugs are worried about losing today. Their most recent attempt at election fraud is a beauty.

From my email...

Scuba --

I'm in our situation room right now and I have an urgent update about the state of the race on the ground. Reports coming into our call center have confirmed that Walker's allies just launched a massive wave of voter suppression calls to recall petition signers. Here is what people are receiving across Wisconsin:

"If you signed the recall petition, your job is done and you don't need to vote on Tuesday."

Disgusting. To counter this insulting attack on our democracy, we need to fire up another call center to phone every recall petition signer with the correct information. This means we have an immediate need to place an additional one million phone calls. Can you pitch in with $5 towards our Voter Protection Fund to help pay for these calls before midnight?

This pathetic, last-ditch effort to derail our campaign proves just how scared Scott Walker and his allies are of our massive GOTV operation. With our final tracking poll showing a difference of just one vote, our volunteers are on the ground attempting to achieve something that has never been done in Wisconsin: knock on more than 1.2 million doors before the polls close.

Give'm some air cover. Donate $5 before midnight to help place rapid response calls urging all one million recall petition signers to vote.

Shadowy robocalls with false and misleading information are just the tip of the iceberg. With the Texas-based King Street Patriots flying in their voter suppression experts, we know our voter protection center will be flooded with calls tomorrow. With your help, we will overcome these attacks.

Thank you for fighting with us to elect Tom Barrett and protect the rights of voters across Wisconsin,

1. cheating-republicans is a redundant term-republican implies cheat

2. This is exactly why they think

everyone cheats. this is their moral makeup. They are devious conniving people who cheat whenever they can so they think everyone is just like them.

3. How can ANYBODY with "Patriots" in their name

suppress the vote. That's the most un-American thing a person can do. The teabaggers are evil.

4. I got a robo-call from Barrett letting me know about this

Not that I would have believed it. But some obviously would.

My husband was saying, "both sides are the same", but hearing about this stunt made him take that back!
