DNC pushes back on Wisconsin recall criticism
Posted by Chris Cillizza at 06:01 PM ET, 05/17/2012
The Democratic National Committee is aggressively pushing back against the idea that it is not doing enough to help the effort to recall Gov. Scott Walker in Wisconsin, insisting that the party is marshalling its considerable grassroots and turnout operation to aid Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.
The DNC has directed $1.4 million to Wisconsin so far in the 2012 cycle with $800,000 of that coming since November, according to figures provided to the Fix. Nearly a quarter million of those dollars have been directed to the state party.
DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz is headed to the state to raise money for Barrett later this month. And, Obama for America state director Tripp Wellde is also working on the recall effort.
“We are completely committed to electing Tom Barrett,” said DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse. “Any suggestion of a lack of commitment or engagement on the part of the DNC/OFA is off the mark and does nothing more than play into the hands of Scott Walker and his billionaire buddies who launched their frontal assault on working families in Wisconsin.”

Either admit the DNC doesn't HAVE the money...prove to us that the Wisconsin Dems don't NEED the money...or GIVE THEM THE MONEY.
Don't wait until you can do a fundraiser -- GIVE THEM THE MONEY NOW and reimburse the DNC with the fundraiser.
We can't afford to lose this election, especially if The Supremes rule in favor of weakening Obamacare.
It won't be the lack of "commitment" that will play into the hands of Walker's "billionaire friends," it will be your lack of political will.
