Final Push in Wisconsin

Did you know... "Last weekend, a fire burned down a local Wisconsin headquarters of the campaign to recall Republican senators." That is according to Alan Grayson, former U.S. Congressman.

This coming Tuesday is the recall election that will send a message across the nation and around the world. Now is the time for the final push in the bell weather state of Wisconsin.

I can chip in $4 to fuel the recall campaign in the final days.

Wisconsin Recall Elections

The following is a blatant repeat of an email that asks for funding support for the recalls of republican state senators in Wisconsin. Time to put our money where our hearts are.

Wisconsin recall elections:

Public Policy Polling. June 24-26, likely voters:

Senate district 32, currently held by Republican Dan Kapanke
Jennifer Shilling (D): 56
Dan Kapanke (R): 42

Senate district 18, currently held by Republican Randy Hopper
Jessica King (D): 50
Randy Hopper (R): 47

Senate district 10, currently held by Republican Shelia Harsdorf
Sheila Harsdorf (R): 50
Shelly Moore (D): 45

Six Republicans face recall elections, and Democrats need to defeat three of them to take control of the state Senate. We have only polled three of those six races so far, and already we found Democrats ahead in two campaigns and close in another.

This is a very winnable campaign. If we win, then we prove that a people-powered uprising, when allied with a unified Democratic Party that is willing to fight back, can defeat those who would slash the social safety net to pay off billionaires and big corporations.

That is a win we need badly, both in Wisconsin and nationwide. Please, make it happen by contributing $1 to each of the Democratic candidates in the Wisconsin recall elections.

Jim Hightower at 2007 Fighting Bob Fest

If you're not familiar with Jim Hightower, you've gotta be. He was introduced to me as the guy who said, "The middle of the road is for yellow lines and dead armadillos." Unlike the wishy washy Democrats, Hightower says, "take sides." He's the kind of guy who, when talking about mixed emotions, quips, "Mixed emotions are when your sixteen year old daughter comes home late from the high school prom with a Gideon Bible under her arm."

He's a funny, irreverent Texan who is helping lead the charge to take back America. He's America's #1 Populist. If you take the time to hear him out, you'll be energized and inspired to join the fight for America's small-d democratic values.
