28 days to defeat Walker

28 days to defeat Walker

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Tonight, I am humbled by and grateful for the support of Wisconsinites across our great state.

Since we began our campaign, I've traveled all across Wisconsin -- never once leaving our state -- to listen to the people.

What I've heard from Wisconsinites is that they want an end to the political turmoil caused by Scott Walker, and they want their needs placed first.

With you standing with me, that's what I plan to do. In the next 28 days, I'll work overtime fighting for the interests of Wisconsinites, but to do so, I need your urgent help right now to kick-start our neighbor-to-neighbor program.

Can I count on you to make a $12 donation right now so we can defeat Scott Walker on June 5?

Defeating Scott Walker and his entrenched, out-of-state special interest allies will not be an easy task. Right now our campaign is up 47% to 46% in the polls, but we know that Walker and the Koch brothers are ready to unload everything in their right-wing arsenal in a desperate attempt to bring us down.

Scott Walker's failed agenda has led to unprecedented political turmoil and a sputtering Wisconsin economy that leads the entire nation in job loss.

But while we've been campaigning across Wisconsin, Walker has been flying all over the country raising a record $25 million from right-wing billionaires and lobbyists who want their interests placed ahead of working people in our state.

Big money isn't going to win this fight. You are.

To win on June 5, we will need everyone who participated in this improbable, people-powered movement to band together and work double time talking to their friends, family and neighbors about the choice in this historic election.

With your contribution of $12 right now, you'll help us defeat Scott Walker and his corporate cash with an unparalleled neighbor-to-neighbor program of people talking to people in their front lawns, in their kitchens, and in their living rooms about the future of our state.

It's time to put Wisconsin first so we can focus on jobs, on education, and on restoring our tradition of open, honest government.

In the last 15 months, you've proved that winning this fight for working people is possible, and I can't wait to see what you'll do in the next 28 days to lead us to victory.

Thank you,

Tom Barrett

I am a summer resident of Wisconsin, and wish I could vote. This is a small contribution to reflect how I would vote!

Walker is a scary person with too much power- just as most republican governors. I can’t help a lot but I feel better trying. I am from PA and see what these guys are trying to pull off. We just can’t let them without a fight.

Tom,

One of the first things you must do, right now, is come out in full support of gun ownership rights. As governor it really has little to do with your duties, but it is the one issue every white male in this state has an opinion on.

You’ve already got the vote of the ones who are against guns, they are liberals. You need the ones who have guns for hunting, self defense, and as a personal effort at protecting national security.

Guns are not the problem. The War on Drugs, and joblessness hurting family relationships are the problem. Many people are scare of guns, so you will have to say something about you understanding that. But, don’t persecute the symptom, go after the problem.

“As Governor, I will support the right to bare arms throughout the state. For hunting, self defense, and national security. It is our constitutional right, and a duty many of us take very seriously. You have my full throated support. Thank you.”

Do it or fail again in 4 weeks. Its your choice.
