Walker Campaign Kicks off "100 Day Dash" ?Will Make 65,000 Calls, Knock on 6,500 doors on July 24th

Wauwatosa – Scott Walker’s campaign for governor today announced that on Saturday, July 24, the campaign will kick off the “100 Day Dash” – a volunteer effort to countdown 100 days from the election.  The Walker campaign will team up with the Republican Party of Wisconsin to knock on 6,500 doors and make 65,000 phone calls.

The “100 Day Dash” builds on the success of the “June Challenge,” which successfully engaged volunteers statewide to make 41,894 phone calls and knock on 4,584 doors in just twelve hours, shattering the goal of 26,000 calls and 2,600 doors.

“Time and again, our outstanding volunteers have proven they are willing to do what it takes to take back their government,” said Walker.  “We are approaching the 100 day mark until Election Day, and the ‘100 Day Dash’ is yet another way to say we’ve had enough of the big taxing, big spending government.”

Recently, Walker’s grassroots volunteers gathered 15,000 signatures to put Scott Walker on the ballot for governor.  Over the July 4th weekend, Walker volunteers attended 150 parades across Wisconsin, with Walker attending 8 parades himself.  On Memorial Day, Walker volunteers distributed 40,000 brown bags at 40 parades around the state. Scott Walker received the endorsement of thousands of grassroots supporters at the GOP state convention with 91.3% of the vote.  As a result of these efforts, Scott Walker leads Tom Barrett by seven points, Mark Neumann by 39 points, and has the most support of any candidate with Independents, Republicans, and conservatives, according to Democratic pollster Public Policy Polling.

Sunday, July 25^th marks the 100 days until Election Day, 2010.  The campaign in encouraging volunteers to RSVP for the Saturday, July 24th event at ScottWalker.org.
