But Feingold said there are three sufficient reasons for recalling Walker.
“Number one: He committed a surprise attack on the people of Wisconsin,” Feingold said, by going after workers’ rights and voting rights. “These are fundamental rights,” he argued.
“Secondly, the tactics he used were outrageous. They were ruthless,” Feingold said. He mentioned the squelching of debate in the state legislature and the manipulation of the state supreme court. These tactics were “unforgivable,” he said.
“Number three, the governor’s people are under investigation for criminal conduct,” Feingold said.
Each of these reasons, taken alone, would be sufficient to remove Walker from office, Feingold argued.
“If we do not prevail,” he warned, “Scott Walker will have committed the perfect political crime. Don’t let him get away with it.”

"State Department of Revenue records show Diane Hendricks' tax obligation dropped from $2.2 million in 2009 to zero in 2010. Hendricks owns ABC Supply Inc., the nation's largest wholesale distributor of roofing, windows and siding. Records show Hendricks had a seven-figure tax bill in 4 of the previous five years.
Hendricks is a financial supporter of conservative causes and has given Walker's campaign more than $500,000. ABC Supply's tax director Scott Bianchini tells the Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/KyJ792 ) the company changed its structure so the profits and the tax obligations stay with the company, not with Hendricks."

Kelly Steele, a spokesman for the labor-backed We Are Wisconsin group, says it would be "criminal" to allow Nickolaus to have any role in the county's June 5 election. "After Kathy Nickolaus earned her reputation as the most incompetent or corrupt election clerk in America, Waukesha County assured the world she would no longer administer elections," Steele says. "All evidence from the May primary suggests she's fully in charge and reporting out results to the world."
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel editorial board has also demanded Nickolaus' resignation. "How can the citizens of Waukesha have any confidence that something else won't go wrong in the next election; something that will call into question the results?" the board asked in April. "They can't as long as Nickolaus remains in office." But although Nickolaus has said she won't run for reelection, she remains in her job—and, if the May 5 primary is any indication, she's still supervising elections.
Nickolaus, Waukesha County Executive Dan Vrakas, and Waukesha GOP director Cathy Waller did not respond to multiple requests for comment for this story. Read Full Story Here | Andy Kroll | Mother Jones
