Anyone know anything about Greater Wisconsin Political Fund?

13. Concern about this topic

To my chagrin, Friday I received the flyer in the mail (mailer, not in an envelope) with my name, address, and the number of times I voted in recent years, along with listings for neighbors. No doubt, they received similar information. I thought this information was private, and if not, it should be. The Greater Wisconsin Political Fund (http://www.greaterwisconsin.org/aboutus.htm) is responsible for this. If this is supposed to encourage me to vote, it is doing the opposite. I do not believe in such strong-arm tactics and I do not endorse them. It is one thing to encourage people to vote, but the card states that "Scott Walker won in 2010 because too many people stayed home," and this makes it a political mailing, not a voter education effort, like the fine work of the League of Women Voters. At the same time, those labeled as missing the 2010 election seem implicated as causing the results of that election. The logic is not watertight. It is manipulation, and not very good manipulation at that.
