Reply #25: Imma rant here for a moment.

We don't have the luxury of being dramatic right now. We learned a valuable lesson here in Wisconsin in the past 7 months. We need to double down and bust our asses because IT MATTERS. We need to pull together and fight for what is right and we need to start in our backyards. Local politics matters. We are building our future national leaders and we have some great ones here in WI. Our Senate Democrats and Assemblymen are what all politicians should strive to be and I am working my ass off to help them. I protested in Madison with them, worked the recount, hugged and cried with them at state convention, am volunteering for the campaigns, attending county party meetings, working the polls... *we* are the Democratic party and it is what we make it. I am honored to be in the same party as Tammy Baldwin, Peter Braca, Lena Taylor, Gwen Moore, Russ Feingold and on and on and on.

I am proud to call myself a Democrat. A Wisconsin Democrat.
