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.
