On June 5, the people of Wisconsin will vote on whether to retain Republican Gov. Scott Walker in what many consider a referendum on whether the collective bargaining rights of public employees can be taken away with impunity. Walker admits his strategy is to “divide and conquer” labor and ultimately to make Wisconsin a so-called “right to work” state.

The Republican National Committee, right-wing billionaires like the Koch brothers, and corporate-funded “bill mills” like the American Legislative Exchange Council are spending millions — outspending adversaries 25-to-1 — on TV ads urging voters to retain Walker, who led the infamous attack on Wisconsin employees’ union rights.

They have the money, but we have the people. Organized labor has mounted a massive grassroots get-out-the-vote effort in support of Democratic challenger Tom Barrett, the mayor of Milwaukee. Now, the Wisconsin AFL-CIO and the national AFL-CIO are asking for the help of union activists here in Washington state to get the job done.

1. People in WI are starting to refuse to answer their phones for numbers they don't recognize

Don't be surprised if a lot of calls get no-pickups.
