Scott Walker’s name keeps making national news these days, and it is now more than ever. As the man faces a recall election tomorrow, even citizens of Gilmer County have stepped up to join the political fight.

In his first month, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R), who was elected in 2010, passed a variety of bills such as measures to reform lawsuit payouts, as well as a series of tax credits and deductions for health saving accounts. Some of these bills even drew bipartisan support.

However, Walker’s popularity shifted when he introduced his Collective Bargaining Bill. Walker’s Collective Bargaining Bill introduced in 2010 called for the limiting of collective bargaining by public employees to wages. Almost immediately after the bill was introduced, the bill sparked political debate. Democrat members of the Wisconsin Senate even fled the state at one point to keep the bill from being passed. The move was a ploy by Democratic leaders of Wisconsin to keep the bill from being voted on by lack of quorum. Wisconsin law states that 20 members of the senate must be present to vote on a financial bill and only 19 members of Wisconsin’s Senate were Republicans. In the end, Republicans were able to circumvent the move by removing all of the parts of the bill that were related to appropriate funding, making it legal to pass the part of the bill that limited collective bargaining.

The situation escaladed in Wisconsin when democrats announced last year their plans to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker. After submitting more than 900,000 signatures to recall Walker in January, and choosing Tom Barrett, the same man who ran against Walker in 2010 to run against him in a recall election, they are out to finish what they started.

Now, as the recall election approaches on Tuesday, Democrats are campaigning against Walker in an election that could play a deciding factor in the 2012 Presidential Election.

With things heating up in Wisconsin, Jack Smith, Communications Director of the Gilmer County Tea Party and Chairman of the North Georgia Tea Party Alliance, has decided to go to Wisconsin to make sure Scott Walker isn’t thrown into the frey.

Before Smith left for Wisconsin on Thursday, FYN got a chance to sit down and talk to him personally about the recall.

“It’s a shame that its happening. He’s violated no laws, no rules, no regulations; it’s just an undermining of the Electoral Process,”

Smith spoke of the recall.

“It’s become a very expensive situation.”

said Smith commenting about the money being spent on the recall. Smith would also suggest that the spending was something that could have been avoided by saying how Walker had told them exactly what he was going to do. On Thursday, ABC News reported that spending on the recall had topped over 60 million dollars.

Smith has already been to Wisconsin once as a member of the North Georgia Tea Party Patriots to canvas for the political process. Smith wanted to make it clear that this movement wasn’t to back the Governor but instead the political process.

“We want to insure the integrity of the process in the future so that individuals can’t be recalled just because they have done something that somebody doesn’t like when they haven’t violated no laws or anything.”

Smith’s says there are four questions they have been asking people while canvasing in Wisconsin. 1)If the recall election was today would they vote for Walker or Barrett? 2)If the Presidential Election was today would they vote for Barrack Obama or Mitt Romney 3) If they felt like the President’s economic policies had been helpful, done nothing, or harmful? 4) If they felt like the healthcare bill that was passed was good, bad, or indifferent?

When asked why he and the members of the Tea Party Alliance were so active with the political process, Smith responded,

“Because we believe in our constitution and we believe in the integrity of the system. We expect our Constitutional officers to act accordingly to their offices.”

Asked what he thought it would be like for America if Scott Walker wasn’t recalled, Smith said,

“I think that it would be a great positive for the people of America. I think that it would show that the people respect the system and want to preserve the integrity of it.”

Smith also feels that if Scott Walker remains in office it will be good for conservative polls.

In a Fox news article on Wednesday, Walker lead Democratic challenger Tom Barrett 50 percent to 44 percent, according to a poll done by the Marquette University Law School. However, things could change as former President Bill Clinton took the stand on Friday in Wisconsin to rally against Walker.

“They look at Wisconsin and they see America’s battleground between people who want to work together to solve problems and people that want to divide and conquer,”

Clinton told a crowded, chilly park Friday in Milwaukee standing next to Tom Barrett.

With the date of the recall election scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, June 5th, the outcome could prove to be symbolic for what might happen in November.
