WI democratic Party and Act blue collecting for recall
Dear MoveOn member,

Republican politicians in Wisconsin have gone mad with power.

Yesterday, the state Senate president issued arrest warrants for the brave Democratic state senators who left Wisconsin to stop the attacks on workers.1 And Republicans have locked down the Capitol building, even denying access to firefighters responding to an emergency call.2

We need to put a stop to this madness, and the only way is to flip control of the state Senate with a recall election.

Grassroots progressives, students, workers, and unions in Wisconsin are coming together with the Democratic Party of Wisconsin to do just that.3 But they're going to need a lot of help. MoveOn members in Wisconsin are already volunteering to canvass voters. The rest of us need to raise $150,000 to get the recall campaign off to a great start.

A number of Republican senators are particularly vulnerable, getting less than

51% of the vote in their last election.4 We can win this, but with billionaires like the Koch brothers supporting Walker's plan,5 progressives in Wisconsin are going to need the support of all of us.

Over the past 36 hours, over 245,000 MoveOn members signed an emergency statement of support for the "Wisconsin 14," the brave Democratic senators who left the state to block a vote on Walker's plan. They're continuing to hold firm and stay out of Wisconsin.

But the fastest way they can come home to their families—with workers' rights intact—is if some Republican senators see the light and decide to oppose the governor. Organizing a strong recall effort is the best way to help make that happen.

$150,000 will send a clear message to Scott Walker and his allies in the Senate that there will be dire consequences if they keep pushing their radical agenda. Click here to contribute via ActBlue:

1. Is there some way to donate more anonymously?

Even though I'm in California I want to donate, but ActBlue is asking for a lot of personal info.

Is there some way around this?
