Wisconsin Recall: Republicans are watching
A message from Michael Langenmayr
Our campaign to recall right-wing Gov. Scott Walker and his anti-union, anti-middle class cronies in the State Senate has caught the attention of Republicans across the country.
Republicans see Walker as a leader. They see his War on Working Families -- smashing unions, defunding Planned Parenthood, and passing harsh voter ID laws to keep students, seniors and the poor from voting -- as a blueprint to follow in states across the country. They see it as a plan to crush Democrats and turn blue states red -- and Walker basically admitted as much in a video put online last week.
We need to send a message to Scott Walker and his Republican fan boys across the country -- attack the middle class and you will lose.
All the polls are split dead-even and there are virtually no undecided voters left -- that's why we're on the ground knocking on doors in Wisconsin right now. This race will come down to Getting Out The Vote. Whoever best turns out their base on Election Day wins. It's that simple.
Can you chip in $10 to the DFA Wisconsin recall campaign and help turn out Democrats to vote in the June 5 recall?
Make no mistake about it -- this isn't going to be an easy fight.
Walker and his right-wing backers like Karl Rove and the Koch brothers are outspending Democrats five-to-one in Wisconsin. They're drowning us in vicious attack ads.
That's why we're knocking on doors. There is nothing more effective than talking to voters face-to-face and we're on track to hit 127,353 doors across the state as part of our campaign.
We're going to win this campaign and we're going to do it with people-power.
Please contribute $10 to the DFA Wisconsin recall campaign right now.
Thank you for all that you do.

The media, the polls...all part of manufactured consent.
The only way to expose the lies and corruption is to protest at the media until they start telling the truth.
If the media isn't going to cooperate, isn't the best way to spread the word going door-to-door and making sure the vote is so overwhelming it's impossible to steal. I mean consider this - 2000 and 2004 presidential elections vs. 2008. You gotta overwhelm them with people power...
