Foundation Client Allegedly Harassed for Criticizing ‘Sour Grapes’ Recall
Movement on Gov. Walker

Fox News 12/06/2011

KRISTI LACROIX, TEACHER: I’m not big on recalls, and I
think that at this point in my opinion, and I’m only speaking from the “I,” it
feels a little like sour grapes. We didn’t get our way so we want to change the
outcome.

The person I’m going to stand behind and that’s going to
get my vote is the man or the woman who says what they mean and means what they
say. And it’s not about being popular. It’s not about getting the votes. This is
what is right. Scott Walker said from the beginning I’m going to do what is
right for Wisconsin, and he did. He did.

VAN SUSTEREN: Now Kristi LaCroix said there is even an
online campaign to get her fired. Law enforcement says there’s been dangerous
behavior from both sides of the recall effort. Governor Scott Walker joins us.
Good evening, sir.
