Kaeleen's call to action - 3 hours a week!
As we come closer to the primary election we have so much work to do. I know folks are busy but we only have so much time to complete our goals. Last week Scott Walker opened up a "victory center" in Superior. A fully functioning and staffed office, this office opening should be a wake up call to all that this election is real, and that it is coming soon. Scott Walker will be able to raise about $70 million for this recall campaign. He has already raised $12 million just in the last few weeks! In the last 6 months, the Democrats have been able to raise 2.2 million, and our pocket books are running dry. We have less than 25 percent of our usual field staff numbers on the ground and far less time to campaign compared to normal elections. I know you have a lot on your plate, whether its kids at home, or a second (maybe third) job, or another cause that is important to you, I know you are busy. That is why all I am asking for is THREE HOURS A WEEK. You can even volunteer from home! Three hours a week, can you spare that? Because if we cannot come together and find the time and find the energy for the next 65 days we will lose. The passion of the people can defeat the pocket books of the wealthy but we cannot sit by an wait for some else to step up and get the work done. I am calling on all progressive and forward thinking members of the community to step up and donate three hours a week for the next 9 weeks.
I am asking you as a field organizer, a community member, and a friend, please if you can find the time, even if it is an hour at your home, please consider spending it working to recall Scott Walker because if we don't no one will.
