Got this today......


Some of the greatest successes in American history have come in the face of challenging setbacks. Here at the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, we’re picking ourselves up, dusting ourselves off, and gearing up for what’s next.

So, what’s on the docket for the next 24 months?

We’re getting ready to defeat Senator Ron Johnson, Congressman Paul Ryan, and newly-elected extremist Glenn Grothman. Wisconsin deserves better representation than a Senator and Representatives who side with big banks and corporations over Wisconsinites.

What do you say -- are you with us? Sign your name to say you’re in for 2016! >>

We have an ambitious agenda for 2016, and that means 2016 starts today. We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us to win in 2016, but we can win if we work together.

We can’t ever stop standing up for our values and fighting back against the extreme GOP agenda.

Are you in to continue the fight? Add your name now>>

Onward,

Mike Tate

Tate was a dolt and his primary concern was that I saw him as such.

So did the woman working as his second. Sorry but I never remember her name.

When I asked whether anyone considered the ridiculous back and forth flow of anticipated traffic flow past registration tables, she asked me "WHO are you?"

I answered, "I am a volunteer for Dean". Before she could respond Tate jumped in with a very revealling comment, " You think I'm an idiot don't you??" I said nothing, but thought YES, sir, you've nailed the answer to the unasked question. You sir, ARE an idiot.

I have no respect for him. If Wisconsinites weren't so prejudiced against people with diagnoses of anxiety, I'd take on that piece of worthless detritus.

has state-wide name recognition? Or is that needed? I think it is helpful. I have always been a fan of Kathleen Vinehout.

Either for U.S. Senate or for governor. She can connect with rural voters on their own terms. She is full of common sense and facts about the issues facing us, in addition to her warm personality and true interest in people. Ron Johnson and Scott Walker have none of those qualities.
