MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin Grocers Association is warning its members to be on the lookout for opponents of Gov. Scott Walker who are planning to deface some products in grocery stores on May 1.
Walker opponents have urged consumers to boycott companies that have donated to the governor's campaign. The Journal Sentinel says there's a current effort to expand the boycott nationally by placing stickers on products in grocery stores. Among the targeted products are Johnsonville brats, AngelSoft toilet paper, Sargento cheese and Coors beer. The grocers group has created a sign for stores to post alerting people that placing stickers on products in stores is illegal. http://gazettextra.com/weblogs/lates...lker-stickers/ Got half my shopping list done! Prefer Miller Lite but Colorado here I come.

Recount for Supreme Court, Prosser (winner) challenged by Kloppenburg under way. Have been some vote changes a few hundred this way and that so far, to be expected.
http://gab.wi.gov/elections-voting/recount PDF file there under Recount Daily Totals, listing original votes in each precinct, and recounted vote total.

i hope no one boycotts angel soft tissue. a lot of people work at gp, including my husband...we aren't responsible for a couple of rich owners' politics.
boycotts always hit the employees, not the billionaires who are the target. |

Then you'd know why she filed the recount.Speaking of recalls, the Dems have another GOP on the recall ballot. The GOP doesn't seem to be able to get any more Dems (they failed the last three they tried to get sigs for) Quote:

Dog and Pony Show. Again she declared victory based on 200 votes and we are recounting after a 7,000 vote victory. BTW what the local papers and comments are saying (in Wisconsin not Huffington) Given the vote margin, should the taxpayers being paying for the state Supreme court recount? We didn't record your vote, because this poll has been closed. Response Percent Votes Yes 33% 45 votes No 64% 86 votes No opinion 1% 2 votes 133 total votes Return to previous page reader COMMENTS noretreat Apr 29, 2011 at 7:18 a.m. Suggest removal The law should be changed that you can ask for the recount within that margin, but if you lose your paying for it. There is no real resaon for this recount and the Klop. team wouldnt have bothered if their own money was at risk. donnaw Apr 29, 2011 at 6:45 a.m. Suggest removal It's funny, the people that are for the recount are the same ones that thought it was okay for the 14 to run away to Illinois rather than do their jobs. And for the protestors to use fake doctor excuses. partarican1 Apr 28, 2011 at 4:53 p.m. Suggest removal it is allowable under the law, so why should she not have the right to a recount? BornInWiscosnin Apr 27, 2011 at 8:53 p.m. Suggest removal This question makes it sound like this is money out of our pockets. I think most of the "cost" is the salary of people who will be doing the recount, but who would be getting that salary anyway. We taxpayers have already paid for their services. Perhaps a better question would be, do we want them to do the recount or some other whatever-it-might-be thing they would do instead? I mean no disrespect whatsoever for those people and their important and honorable jobs. kaysbrew Apr 27, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. Suggest removal No count with that big of a margin has ever been reversed in Wisconsin or any other state. This may be within the law but doesn't mean you need to abuse the taxpayers for it. http://wclo.com/polls/2011/apr/taxpa...count/results/

Many republicans, at least in my area, haven't returned from their winter homes yet. They must be harder to find since they all don't group together like dems do. Talking WI not the country.

Dates for recall are past. Can't be done.
