Call Wisconsin Voters


When Scott Walker launched his attack on working families in February, something incredible happened -- people from all over Wisconsin descended on Madison to stand up for their communities. Inspired by their energy, I watched what was happening in Wisconsin and wished I could be there. Did you feel the same way?
Now with several recall elections later this summer, we have the opportunity to show Walker and the Wisconsin Republicans what happens when they attack working families -- we fight back and win.
Democracy for America and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee are launching our Call Out the Vote program this Thursday so that progressives all over the country can talk to Wisconsin voters about the importance of these elections. Will you join me in making calls from your home for two hours this Thursday?
Yes, I can call this Thursday!
Yes, I can call this Sunday!
I can't make calls this week, but I can chip in $5 to recall the WI Republicans.
Yesterday, news broke that one of the Republicans challenging a Democratic incumbent failed to collect enough valid signatures to get on the ballot. We have the momentum, but we need to make sure voters know about the election.
Wisconsin was the first of many states to take up anti-worker legislation, but it's not the only one. That's why it's vital we win right now. Because once we stop them in Wisconsin, we'll stop them in Ohio, Michigan, and across the nation.
If we turn out the vote in these recall elections, we will win -- can you help by signing up for a two hour phone shift?
Yes, I can call this Thursday!
Yes, I can call this Sunday!
I can't make calls this week, but I can chip in $5 to recall the WI Republicans.
Together, as a united progressive community, we will defend our country and stop the Republican attacks on working families.
Thanks for everything you do.

I'd rather spend my time barking at our own inept elected officials.

Anon (755), what you ran out of raciest blogs?

How about writing a letter for the golf course, check that article?

Union busting is not popular in Ohio, including among Republicans. 1,298,301 signatures were delivered to repeal SB 5 for the Fall election ballot measure. 1,298,301 signatures represents more than 1 million signatures in excess of signatures needed for this repeal. Those signatures were collected within 90 days.

Goodbye Gov. John Kasich next election 2014 (if not prior, that's a long ways off). The citizen solidarity with Unions, and the the commentary. "John Kasich may do more in one term to causing lasting damage to the Ohio Republican Party than Bob Taft, Bob Ney, and Tom Noe combined."

Quick reference for these "family value" guys:
Bob Taft, past Ohio Governor ethics violations (not reporting gifts.
Bob Ney, past Congressional Representative pleads guilty to corruption charges, 2006.
Tom Noe, Republican fund raiser RICO charges including stealing from a state investment fund.
