Tomorrow Julie Wells, the Janesville grandmother and factory worker who triggered the Walker recall, will be smiling. She and volunteers from Wisconsinâ€™s 72 counties will deliver many boxes of signed petitions to the Government Accountability Board at 212 E. Washington Ave. in Madison. The GAB is expecting to receive a total of almost 2 million signatures for the multiple recalls against Walker, Lt. Gov. Kleefisch, and four Republican state Senators. (Wonâ€™t it be fun to watch them unload those boxes from a truck dubbed the â€œForward Flyerâ€?)

Tomorrow night weâ€™ll celebrate what the people of Wisconsin have accomplished by working together with joyful determination and shared purpose. Of course, a lot of labor lies ahead. Our next step is to launch a massive voter registration/education drive so that thousands of voters currently disenfranchised by the GOP photo ID bill will be able to make their voices heard in the recall elections later this year. At the same time weâ€™ll campaign for the Progressive candidates who will step Forward to run in (hopefully) six recall elections. Next weâ€™ll go door to door to talk with our fellow citizens, making sure they get out and vote when the time comes. Weâ€™ll fight for the truth, which will be muddied by attack commercials funded by massive amounts of money pouring into our state from rightwing PACs.

We look forward to a really big celebration after the election, because we hope to accomplish something truly historic. We hope to take back our Senate and the Governorshipâ€”and our state.

What a ride this has been! And what good friends we have made. Celebrate our achievements so far. And lend a hand in the work ahead as we struggle for the soul of Wisconsin. You wonâ€™t be sorry.
