All the hot young people are doing it. Recalling Scott Walker, that is.

How's this for college outreach by We Are Wisconsin? The recall election's June 5 date is after students will have left University of Wisconsin campuses for the summer, so now is the time to be reaching out to them.

These posters should be attention-grabbing, but they also take students' role in the chain of events leading to the recall seriously: "college students have a chance to finish what we started." College students—and high school ones, for that matter—pouring into the streets and into the Wisconsin Capitol were an important spark for last year's uprising against Scott Walker's union-busting policies, and students were among those who stuck it out over weeks of protest. Students are also among those who stand to be barred from voting by the war on voters being carried out by Walker and his Republican allies in the legislature.
