Guide your life to Wisdom and Enlightenment

Let these 10 commandments of Recall Wirch guide your life to wisdom and enlightenment.

1. Thou shalt commit thyself to the final push because we are getting close to being done and then we can PARTY and maybe sleep for a week

2. Thou shalt make home-made sandwich signs and stand on the sidewalk for petition signing - it looks hokey but is very effective - just ask John I

3. Thou shalt not misuse the Wirch name, always saying recall before it as in "Recall Wirch"

4. Thou shalt not stand in front of any business getting signatures without permission, jail is a four letter word

5. Honor thy father and mother - it is just the right thing to do …but make sure they sign a petition… but honor them even if they don't

6. Thou shalt not murder those that don't sign the petition, even though you would really, really like to - it isn't worth it. Take a deep breath and let 'em go.

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery with thy neighbor's wife but you can always ask her to sign a petition

8. Thou shalt not steal thy neighbor's "I support Wirch" sign - who cares anyway?

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness, always telling people they are signing a Recall Wirch petition even though some of them think they're signing a recall Walker petition

10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's signatures, even though she has 25 more than you and he's better looking

I promise that if you apply these 10 principles to your life it will never be the same. Notice I didn't say it would be a better life (that's for the REAL 10 Commandments).

We are truly in the stretch run. A little more effort and we will be over the finish line.

It's the Taxpayers to Recall Robert Wirch who seem to have the best ideas.

Fully Story

Democrat Robert Wirch
Of the efforts to recall Democrats the two that seem to have the most momentum and creativity are the Holperin recall and the Senator Robert Wirch Recall. That can likely be credited to these two efforts being powered by Wisconsinites that live in the district. While the Utah group does have a Wirch effort ongoing it's the Taxpayers to Recall Robert Wirch who seem to have the best ideas. For example, Burlington and Kenosha have challenged each other to see which municipality can collect the most signatures. On March 19 the group told the Journal Times they had between 6,000 and 10,000 signatures. They only need a little more than 13,000 and their filing deadline is April 25.

Insist on an Explanation

The following is posted because the woman insisted that we response.  Below is an email we received about our previous post with a subject of "And one of my favorites!!!! "

Following the copy of her email,
Is information, which is taken directly off the help section of Google Voice's › About voicemail transcriptions.   Ms. Stoughton, before you fire off an email in which you insisted on a response, please reread our orginal posting. Either you didn't read it, read it too fast or you don't understand the meaning of "foreign language like outrage or petulance or hatred". Your email demostrates that not only can people speak in the language of outrage. But it is also possible to read in the "language of outrage or petulance or hatred".

email in question
Hello
I came to the page ready to sign up, but was very disappointed to see the unnecessary posting of the "Google Voice mailbox quotes." As a user of that feature myself, I know as well as you do it has *nothing* to do with whether of not the speaker is foreign or English. Why did you post this? I am a mother of 11 children, many of whom are now voters, and I would happily get out and help collect signatures with my voter age kids and their spouses. But I do NOT approve of these kind of tactics, and insist on an explanation of this. It is not the kind of behavior we should exhibit, or that I will be associated with.
Sincerely,
A woman in(name removed), Stoughton

Basics: About voicemail transcriptions
Google Voice transcribes your voicemails, and the automated transcription appears on the Google Voice website.

This is the only fully automated voicemail transcription on the market. This means, however, that it's not perfect yet. It will improve over time as our transcription engine gets smarter. The quality of the transcripts will vary depending on the caller, the background noise, and whether the caller is using a microphone. You can disable voicemail transcriptions at any time.

There are times when the transcription engine isn't confident enough to transcribe the voicemail you received. This can happen for example, if the engine detects that the voicemail is not in English or if there is background noise. In these cases Google Voice will display 'Transcript not available.'

And one of my favorites!!!!

This morning the Taxpayers to Recall Bob Wirch committee paid to have a petition insert placed in the Kenosha Newspaper.  The phone calls adverse to our using our first amendment right, freedom of speech has been quick and virulent. This morning, I enjoyed hearing some heated rhetoric. Below are just a few calls that came in over the voicemail in the last few hours. The Google Voice mailbox quotes, have not been edited, except for removing the phone numbers.  We are not responsible for the ability of the system to transcribe spoken word to text.

We hope you enjoy them as much as we have.

Yeah. How you doing. I'm calling about these. Recall Wirch papers that you got in the newspaper. I just wanna tell you to go full yourself. Yeah.

Of course Google only understands English.  So when people speak in a foreign language like outrage or petulance or hatred, Google has a more difficult time translating.  If the recall campaign could be stopped with anger we would certainly be stopped. Instead the anger motivates us to work harder and never, never stoop to tactics like these.

Commit to filling in one more petition form

One fall in college I decided to run on the cross country team.  I wasn't very good but it was an excellent way to get in shape for my preferred sport.  All went well until the Friday practice when the coach announced that we were going to run a marathon.  My first thought was, "These guys are nuts.  26 miles?  No way!"  I didn't think I could do it.  But I did.  I ran the whole 26 miles.


We didn't ask for this recall.  Two months ago we had no idea that we would be standing in the rain, snow and sun asking our friends and neighbors to sign a petition form.  Sometimes it feels like a marathon but we know the satisfaction we will feel when we get to the finish line.  It is the right thing to do for our friends, families and community.

We are well past the half way point and now a second wind is providing the energy to finish the race.  A simple way to give ourselves that little spurt of energy is to commit to filling in one more petition form (10 signatures) over the next 5 days.  That would mean thousands of signatures - a huge impact and maybe enough to push us over the finish line. 
 
So print out the attached petition form.  Fill it in and mail it back or drop it off at one of the drive-thru locations.  Thank you again for your outstanding effort.


Let's keep in mind why we are doing this.  Senator Wirch abandoned his constituents.  He quit in the middle of the race.  He didn't finish.  We will finish and we will finish him in the process.

Full Story

A pick-up truck pulled into the location with two burly men inside, as I approached and said “How ya doin’ today guys” I could see that the driver was wearing an I.B.E.W. cap.  To my surprise the driver (Frank) asked if they could sign the petition and then said “We’re union electricians, but we don’t stand with these lazy bums that work for the government.”  His passenger (Stan) added “I’ve got a neighbor who works for the highway department, before all this stuff happened he used to brag about what a big scam they had going and how he almost never had to do any work.” 

 

The next vehicle to pull in provided a bit of comic relief for the afternoon.  The young woman in the car was named Kimberly, she wanted to sign the petition so I handed her the clip board and a pen.  As she filled out the petition she was rambling on about Governor Walker’s attack on the unions, the damn Republicans and how as a home health care worker (SEIU) she knew how the proposed budget cuts were going to wind up killing people.  She handed back the clipboard and I asked her if she had any idea what our recall petition was for.  “Isn’t it to kick out Walker?” she asked.  I pointed to the four large and prominently displayed “Recall Wirch” signs and said “No, this is to recall Senator Wirch.  Would you like me to cross out your signature?”  I was stunned as she said “No, he should be fired too.”  I could only laugh as she drove away.
