Calling All democrats: You Guys’s Are Needed in WI!

And by “democrat” I do mean lowercase-d, as in those of us who (still) believe in democracy, you know, in that old time of, by, and for the people kind of government.  The admirable efforts of helping the recall efforts collect signatures and enter data and phone banking were but Part 1; now it’s time to knock on doors, do lit drops, make more phone calls to help spread the word about the recall elections in July.  Here is a link to sign up and get involved.  If that doesn’t work, let me know.  You may always send an email of interest to The Democratic (alas, capital-d) Party of Wisconsin at info@wisdems.org at 608-255-5172 (main office at 110 King Street, Suite 203 (above Ancora Coffee) just a stone’s throw from the Capitol building.  Anyone, of course, is welcome — and encouraged! — to coordinate car pools or whatnot.  I too will send out more info as soon as it all becomes clearer.

Cheers and thanks!

 

Three’s Company

It’s official: the third Republican state Senator — Luther Olsen — will face a recall election.  Some 10,000 signatures above and beyond the required amount were submitted to the Government Accountability Board today.

Word, too, is that “big news” will be announced tonight in Hudson — Sheila Harsdorf’s turf, who may well be the fourth Republican to face recall.

Meanwhile, waiting in the wings are Cowles and Darling, with exactly two weeks remaining to still collect and then submit signatures against them, too.
