Dec 2013

Her main messgae was grass roots can trump money. The purpose of the meet-and-greets is too encourage people to reach to others in their network to discuss populist issues that benefit Wisconsin. She discussed the disconnect between Madison-Milwaukee and out-state. Items such as John Doe, influence of ALEC, etc receives little attention where she is from. I used to work in the district adjacent to hers and I can attest to that. That can be overcome by talking with your friends and neighbors.

On a final note, I hope she is doing OK this morning.
