WI recall elections need our help, Vote is Aug 9th. And some info on the Elections
Edited on Thu Aug-04-11 07:17 PM by annm4peace
as the t-shirt's say: WE are One Wisconsin and Stand with Wisconsin






this WI candidate, Fred Clark, seems to need the most help, donations and other help. If you can send $ 10.00 that would be great. The others might have Corp dollars but there are still more of us than them. He is running against the Republican who called union workers thugs.
this is the last weekend before the vote on Tuesday.

Here is more info on the elections
http://wisconsinrecall.net/blog/



Tuesday night after volunteering at Ft Snelling all day I went to a get out the vote rally in Hudson, WI.
This is the last week to doorknock before the Aug 9th elections. There were 3 people there from NY, teachers who are spending 1 week of their vacation in WI to help get out the vote. Amazing.

They also had a handout of all the horrible bills passed in WI. Might as well call Gov Walker, King Walker.

check out the 1st s headlines in the left side. It is about WI recall, Koch brothers donations and Health Insurance companies.
http://www.michaelmoore.com/

“ Wellpoint's computer software detected any policyholder diagnosed with
breast cancer and automatically targeted them to be investigated
for fraud so they could be dropped “


and the propaganda machine is in full force from the "christian" right wing. this is good to share with those in WI.
Right wing culture warriors march into Wisconsin recall battle

Are we going to let corporations take us over ? I guess WI is their big 1st attempt and then will move on to other states.

Oligarchy. Google it.

1. every little bit helps.
A Special Message from Mike Tate, Chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party

Dear Friend,

… I hope you will support the Senate Democrats and make a contribution to send a message to Scott Walker that we won't stand for his radical power grab.

If we can pick up just three seats in elections this summer we can retake the Senate and fight for working families instead of corporate special interests. Can you contribute $9, $18 or $36 today?

In solidarity,

Mike Tate

Chair, Democratic Party of Wisconsin

3. I bet you get roundly ignored by the so called progressives. I made two contributions
to Clark this week and one to the democrat running against Darling. I made a larger contribution to the Wisconsin democratic party for the recall last week. This is why I am so disgusted by the DU/Firedog Lake flavor progressive, they are all bull plucky, no steak.

4. that is awesome of you
these people in WI have put so much of their own time and money for so long I'm glad you can help.
Many of us in MN have tried to give our time and money to but it has been a long haul
