Wisconsin is fighting the Republicans head-on. You can help!

from my email....



Dear Scuba,


Thank you for pledging your support to recall Governor Walker. Since February, we have seen an unprecedented wave of support grow across the state of Wisconsin. You have already taken action by providing us with the critical information--and inspiring commitment--that we need as we build up to the recall of Scott Walker.

We know that we need to stand united one day longer than Governor Walker and the privileged special interests he represents. Recalling a sitting governor is a serious undertaking, and we approach it knowing that, in order to meet the challenge, we need to grow the resolve and grit that brought us to the Capitol by the thousands in February. We must push harder and grow more determined as time goes on.

As you are aware, the first test of our resolve and ability comes this summer. Just this week, real Democratic candidates challenging the recalled Republican 8 won the wasteful, phony primaries that the Republican Party maneuvered onto the ballot. It was a stall tactic designed to give their recalled incumbents four more weeks to shepherd Governor Walker's agenda to the floor of the legislature and crook the hard working families of Wisconsin around the neck with further cuts to public schools and a hyper-partisan redistricting plan. We can stop Scott Walker by winning recall elections this summer. August 9th is the day we flip the state senate and turn to Governor Walker.

Stand up to Scott Walker. Help flip the balance of power in the state senate by volunteering for Sandy Pasch.

We need to take advantage of this opportunity to cultivate our grassroots network and practice the statewide organization it will take to hold Scott Walker accountable. Come together with your neighbors, known and unknown, who believe as you do that Wisconsin is better when everyone has a voice and uses it to hold our elected officials accountable. Show Governor Walker that recalls work and volunteer for the challenger candidates.

Thank you for pledging to recall Governor Walker. We are in this together, and we are in this until we succeed. Please make your next step in that process volunteering for one of the challenger candidates, and show Scott Walker that when we stand united, our goal is possible.

Sincerely,


Your Friends at United Wisconsin

subject TWO WEEKS To Go - Let's Finish Strong and Recall Harsdorf!
Important mainly because of the words in the message.

hide details Jul 25 (1 day ago)

In 15 days voters will decide whether the job-destroying, public service-cutting policies of Shelia Harsdorf and Scott Walker are acceptable or if we want to take a new direction, with State Senators like Shelly Moore.

The time is now to take part. If you haven't taken part up until now, please know that we go to great lengths to train and equip our volunteers so that they're comfortable knocking doors and making calls. If you have taken part, please do so again. If we finish strong, we can recall Harsdorf and turn our state around:
