Kick-off Saturday

Growing Number of Citizens Organize to Gather Recall Signatures

EAGLE RIVER, WI -- Senator Jim Holperin is hiding out of state to avoid a vote on Governor Scott Walker’s budget repair bill. Northwood citizens will stage a district wide petition drive this Saturday across the north east tier of the great state of Wisconsin. “The district is huge,” says Simac, “but we have had an overwhelming show of support since these individuals decided that retreat was their best option.”

With the needed paperwork filed and taxpayers lining up in every county, city and town, average citizens are ready to send a clear message to their AWOL elected official. “Senator Holperin has failed to carry out his official duties in the State Senate,” said Kim Simac, leader of the recall committee. “Jim Holperin needs to know that while he is hiding out in Illinois, voters in his district are taking the steps to remove him from office.”

This Saturday hundreds of disappointed taxpayers will take to the pavement and remind those who seek elected office that such positions require integrity, responsibility and a devotion to all they represent.

“Local Tea Party groups, GOP members and a cross- over of all political spectrums, are on board with this movement. “Our problems are serious and Senator Holperin has left his constituents with no representation in Madison during these conflicting times,” says Simac.

To recall Senator Jim Holperin, the committee anticipates needing to collect over 20,000 signatures.

The given time to collect needed signatures is sixty days. Simac says, “Give me ten; I am going to try to do it in ten.” “While these Senators are thinking this is a mini vacation and funds are being raised to support their insubordination, people like me are wasting our precious time away from our own businesses working on recalls.” Simac says, “Who really are the true leaders in this state?”
