*** time is short *** WI needs our financial help in kicking out Walker *** I just donated 20.00 **

I just donated 20.00 to WI Gov candidate Barrett.

Please donate what you can and share with others. I posted what I did on Facebook, calling on friends and family to do the same.

Right now Rightwing group has disclosed on flyers the names and address of teachers who signed petition to Recall Walker.

Koch brothers have just given more money to staff members to get votes for Walker. the DNC isn't giving the needed money to get Walker out of office.

*** If WI Gov Walker is kicked out of office it will send a big message to the corporate controlled powers that they might have the money but we have the #'s. **** Make a donation in the next two days to help Barrett become the new Gov of WI, and shut down the hate machine.

after seeing Rachel talk about Walker's lead.

I don't know if it will make a damn difference, but that man (Walker) is pure evil. I had to do something.

I know people can only give what they can, but seriously, folks - if we're going to talk the talk, it seems like people should at least do what they can when faced with a corporate puppet who is as malevolent as Walker.

STEP UP

sorry.

I'd like more information on whether the DNC is doing enough to get that mean-spirited lackey bounced. Axelrod said they were putting in a million dollars, but I don't know if that's enough/too late/etc.

Enough of the INSANE LIE that the DNC is not helping. They have people in there, all kinds of organizational help. They are helping with NATIONAL fundraising as we speak. Wasserman-Schultz is coming herself for a fundraiser. Also, the DCCC is helping, Obama for American, the DGA, MoveOn, Bold Progressives, etc. But it is ultimately up to the PEOPLE OF WISCONSIN. THEY need to be donating. THEIR unions need to be helping in a BIG way with money. And where are the RICH Wisconsin Democrats? How much are they helping? You wan't just blame the DNC. They have an ENTIRE country to deal with. Stop playing into the Republican divide and conquer meme.

I don't have much money.. My brother lives with me and he has been unemployed for 4 years and his unemployment ran out 2 years ago. so it is all me paying for bills and other stuff.

But this is just too important. I'm in MN so I can go help some on boots on the ground but sadly even with boots on the ground still need to get some ads out there.

I going to small town WI again this weekend and hope I see less stand with walker signs.

please share the donation link with others.
