Related: About this forumI just donated to get out the vote in WISCONSIN!
Hey friends, I have not been online in some time, I am deeply focused on school right now. I wanted to drop in and let you know that I just donated to "Get out the Vote" Wisconsin.
Let's give that bastard, Walker what he deserves!

(11,064 posts)The election is less than two weeks away. Do you know whether the DNC has made any financial contribution at this point?

(13,570 posts)they are doing NATIONAL fundraising efforts. AND, the DCCC, the DGA, OFA, MoveOn, Bold Progressives, ETC. are all helping. So ENOUGH of this CRAPOLA about the DNC and other national Dem goups not helping enough.

(11,064 posts)it turns out that the DNC did not give Barrett the $1.4 million that you say that the DNC gave for Barrett's campaign efforts against Walker, or if it turns out that the DNC did not even give the requested $500K to Barrett in a timely manner, I am going to remind you of that.
If it turns out that the DNC is using double-talk and claiming to have given $1.4 million when the DNC spokesperson wants us to beleive that $1.4 was given to Barrett when it fact funds were spread around to the Wisconsin Democrats prior to the results of the primary, I'm going to remind you of that as well.
Isn't it odd, if the DNC actually gave $1.4 million to Barrett, that Barrett's campaign headquarters doesn't seem to have verified that?
If those are actually the facts, isn't it odd that a DNC spokesperson hasn't said that in plain English instead of using ambiguous language?
If the DNC is merely sending out emails requesting donations for Barrett, that is obviously not a contribution to Barrett of $1.4 million, $500K, or any other amount.
Prove me wrong. Make both of us happy. Provide the link, if you can, where Barrett's campaign headquarters is saying that they received $1.4 million, or even the $500K that they requested. Or provide the link, if you can, where the DNC directly and unambiguously states that, after Barrett requested $500K, they DNC provided $1.4 million or even the $500K
If you have the facts on your side, you don't have to be angry. Or change the subject by referring to efforts being made by MoveOn, etc.

(11,064 posts)and if you know that the DNC gave money to the Wisconsin Democrats before Barrett won the primary and before he made his request for the $500K, why would you interpret Senator Erpenbach's statement that the DNC gave about $1.4 million as being equivalent to giving Barrett's campaign headquarters $1.4 after Barrett made the request for the $500K?
The issue is not whether the DNC gave money to the Wisconsin Democrats before the Democratic primary.
The issue is after Barrett won the Democratic primary and requested $500K, did the DNC provide it to him?
Quite frankly, I think that the issue is a simple one.
I did not hear any words from the clip from Senator Erpenbach saying that the DNC provided $1.4 million to Barrett after he won the primary and requested the $500K. Maybe you don't see Erpehbach's statement as being unequivocal. But I do. And I would like some assurance that the DNC, after receiving Barrett's request, sent $1.4 million or $500K to Barrett's campaign headquarters.
