Spring Elections Are Coming

Wisconsin saw a historic start to 2012 with the submission of over 1 million signatures to recall Scott Walker. Over 800,000 additional signatures were turned in to recall Kleefisch and over 21,000 each to recall Senators Galloway, Moulton, Waangaard and Fitzgerald. Now, it’s time to finish what we started by taking back the State Senate and beating Scott Walker this summer.

Even though the elections have not been called, there is a way you can continue the fight today. Spring elections for local government positions are coming up and we need to elect progressive candidates to help put a stop to the bad policies of the Walker administration and keep the momentum going into the recall election.

We need poll observers to help work the Spring Primary Election on February 21st to help protect the integrity of our elections. If you are interested in helping out or want to volunteer on a local race contact us at 608-255-5172 or contact your local party.

Keep us posted about candidates interested in running for office in your area by contacting jacobh@wisdems.org. For VAN questions please contact willh@wisdems.org. Thank you for your continued hard work and support. So far the people of Wisconsin have made history in 2012, and we need to continue the effort all the way through the summer and into November.

 

KEEPING ON TOP OF THE REPUBLICAN MISINFORMATION
As always, we appreciate and need any campaign literature you have received from any Republican organization. With all the money from out of state billionaires Walker and the Republicans are getting we need to know where they are using it. Please send all campaign lit you receive to:
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin
