Can someone from the Tom Barret campaign confirm this email?

[99Forever]

I just received this, but without confirmation I take any email with a grain of salt. I'm hoping someone in the know can help me out.

Dear John

Thanks to your signature and the signatures of 123,293 people (and counting) our message was heard loud and clear. Today Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chairperson for the Democratic National Committee, sent a fundraising email nationally to "millions" of supporters and gave a helping hand that could make all the difference in this close, hard-won opportunity to recall Scott Walker. We had faith that the DNC would help even more than they had already planned, and because you joined in solidarity with us in Wisconsin, that faith has been fulfilled. Along with the help fundraising in Wisconsin and the ground support they're assembling in the home stretch, we have a stronger-than-ever sense of being able to win this thing!

From the email:

"Choices don't get clearer than this . . .Winning in Wisconsin sends a powerful message to the far-right extremists, and it starts to roll back their worst offenses. To build our organization and make it happen, Democrats need to come together to turn out hundreds of thousands of voters -- and we all have a part to play."


So thank you, thank you, thank you! From the bottom of progressive Wisconsinite's hearts and mine.

Now let's get Scott Walker out of here!

In Solidarity,

Mary Magnuson

1. If so Mary Magnuson is rather stupid.

I remember a Congressional campaign here that I helped with. Turns out the campaign manager thought it was so awesome to stick it to the State party chair at every opportunity. Yeah, always a good idea when you want something from someone, talk smack about them.

*sigh*

2. I don't know, but I just got this from Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Of all the elections we are preparing for in 2012, one of the most important ones isn't happening in November -- it's happening in Wisconsin.

On June 5th, voters will have their chance to recall Governor Scott Walker, whose attacks on workers' and women's rights are the definition of a fireable offense. Democrats are rallying around our nominee, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, and with just 13 days to go before the election, we're organizing one of the largest get-out-the-vote efforts in state history.

Will you donate today to help Wisconsin Democrats build the grassroots organization it's going to take to beat Scott Walker and win in 2012?

It's up to Democrats in Wisonsin, and across the country to help win this thing. Organizers and volunteers on the ground across Wisconsin are knocking on doors, talking to neighbors, and making phone calls to make sure voters know the stakes in this year's elections.

The outcome is important to anyone who supports Democratic values.

Governor Walker has spent the last year and a half dividing Wisconsin. He's cut sweetheart deals for wealthy corporate donors and special interests, while students, families, and workers are facing very different kinds of cuts: slashed budgets for education and teachers, higher health care premiums for tens of thousands, and devastating attacks on the rights of public employees to negotiate wages and working conditions. And Walker's done all this while overseeing the worst jobs record in the country for the last year and a half.

Now he's spending millions in special interest money, including support from the Koch brothers, to buy his way out of a recall.

Our Democratic candidate, Tom Barrett, has made creating jobs a priority his entire career -- as Milwaukee's mayor, he brought the public and private sectors together to transform the region into a thriving business community, bringing hundreds of new jobs, many in clean energy, to Wisconsin. And he did it while defending core Democratic principles -- protecting the environment and the rights of workers, standing up for a woman's right to choose, and supporting a strong middle class.

Choices don't get clearer than this. To build our organization and win in June, Democrats need to come together to turn out hundreds of thousands of voters -- and we all have a part to play.
