6 days left in campaign to recall 6 GOPer Wisconsin State Senators - MoveOn.org request for help

[JohnWxy]

....here is the MOveon.org email to members requesting help. Just thought I would give people a heads up on this important matter...

Dear MoveOn member,


How good would it feel to see a big win for progressives right now—and a devastating defeat for the tea party?


Democrats in Wisconsin are on the verge of just that. And with just six days left in their campaign to recall the Republican state senators who aided and abetted Gov. Walker's vicious attacks on working families, they need our help.


Polling released yesterday shows that it's going to come down to the wire. Democrats are tied or slightly ahead in all six of the races (1), but conservative groups like Citizens United and Club for Growth are targeting them with last-minute ads. (2)


We've got one last ad campaign ready to go, but we need $150,000 to launch it. Can you chip in so we can win these races, show Republicans nationwide that attacking working folks has consequences, and show Democrats that fighting for working families is a winning strategy?

Too many Democrats in Washington are refusing to stand up and fight for working families. But when the radical Republican attacks started in Wisconsin this winter, progressives fought back, and Democrats had their backs.


Thousands took over the state capitol, and hundreds of thousands marched on the streets of Madison. And rather than dismissing that energy, or ignoring it, the Wisconsin 14 left the state for weeks, at great personal cost, to stop Gov. Walker's radical policies.


So with just six days left in this battle, we need to show that progressives can win—not just to stop Gov. Walker, but also to send a message across America that if you fight for us, we'll fight for you. We're partnering with the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and Democracy for America to run one last round of ads, but we need $150,000 to launch the campaign.

5. Gotta say, my sentiments.too....I will donate some more..

to act blue.
.These people, the pukes, and those that would take away union rights, teacher rights, and rule by dictatorship, are scum.

Strong language, but that picture of the pukes voting when the democrat wanted to speak, saying there was no notification, and
that bill needed to be read first, and that meeting was illegal..so they voted over him, while he was talking....anyway..
...sticks in my mind..and always will be there...

It won't be much but, if we got a chance, I got to give something tonite..
