We're all angry about the Wisconsin GOP's perversion of the democratic process to ram through their assault on working families. And we should be.
But the absolute worst thing any of us can do right now is to just get angry. This is a time to organize, to speak out, and to fight back with everything we have.
Wisconsin legislators who support Gov. Walker's union-busting and right-wing budget must be reminded that their policies are hurting working families. Every. Single. Day.
So please consider this new television ad a down payment on the DLCC's commitment to the fight for workers’ rights in America.
The new ad urges Wisconsinites to demand that Republican state Senator Luther Olsen stop his support of Gov. Scott Walker’s radical, anti-worker agenda:
How long ads like this one stay on the air - and how many times we can afford to run them - depends on you. Please consider donating $14 to help us keep this ad and others like it running.
Join us after the jump for more on our commitment.
Luther Olson, referenced in our ad, is a Republican state Senator from Ripon, Wisconsin, representing District 14 near the center of the state. We believe our ad will be successful in urging residents there to demand that Olsen back down from his betrayal of working families.
Wisconsinites in Greater Green Bay are already reading in their local newspapers about the outrageous assault on working families across the country; they’re already hearing about it on their doorsteps from friends and neighbors.
Now, thanks to ads like this one, they’ll see it on their TV screens every night, with a call to let Olsen know they want him to change his position.
How many weeks it runs – and how many other ads like this one we can run elsewhere – depends heavily on you.
If you like what we’re doing with this ad and want to see more efforts like this, please contribute $14 or more to help us do it.
The Netroots community – and the Daily Kos community in particular – has always stood and fought on issues important to progressives.
And I’m proud to join you in that fight.
Sincerely,
Michael Sargeant
Executive Director
