37. They did an issue ad against Walker during the 2010 election.

I know because I was in it. Legitimate group. It's a PAC, pure and simple and for once, it is one on our side. I am not a fan of issue ads, but when I found out who it was against, I jumped at the chance. I've met Michelle and she is quite educated on the issues.

Not sure what to think of this mailer. All the info is public knowledge. It was funny because for our mailer, everyone except ONE person had voted in all the elections listed so it didn't really make their case
