Recall Doyle Protesters at Obama Green Bay Town Hall Meeting

Green Bay, WI
Thursday morning June 11th a group called Wisconsin Interests Now (WIN) had a number of enthusiastic www.RecallDoyle.com protesters near the Obama Town Hall meeting at Southwest High School in Green Bay, WI. The group was large enough to post people with large bright red “Taxed Enough Yet? www.RecallDoyle.com” signs in both the east and west bound lanes for over two blocks on W. Mason Street just east of Packerland Dr.
Motivated by the oppressive tyranny, spending and taxing policies of Gov. James Doyle, protesters came from several cities around the State, some as much as two hours away.
WIN is a grassroots organization, who started with only fifteen ordinary citizens, collaborating to recall Gov. Jim Doyle and now, after only a couple months from the start, has well over 4000 volunteers to pass out recall petitions. They need 6000 more volunteers from around the State, which shouldn’t take long as signings have been increasing exponentially.
Several of the protesters stated that they were excited to see the impressive number of drivers passing by who honked, smiled, waved and gave the thumbs up sign. The assessment is that there were three to four drivers giving positive indications of support to recall Doyle for every one who indicated thumbs down.
Later in the morning the WIN group met up at Badger Park with another group of protestors called The Party of KNOW, where they marched toward Southwest High to stage another protest of the Socialist/Fascist, high debt, and high tax policies that both the State of Wisconsin and the Federal Government have in common.
The June 12th NY Times article, reporting on the Green Bay Protest, mentions the red “Taxed Enough Yet?” signage that the recall Doyle group carried.
