Dear Representative Barca,
I am writing to ask that you run for Governor of Wisconsin. You have heard the same plea from individuals posting it on your Facebook page, to the hundreds who signed petitions asking you to run, to the thousands of people chanting “Run Peter Run” at rallies. I thought I would press my case with a photo/video letter.
There are several candidates who have already declared for this race and other candidates who may be waiting in the wings to declare, but I am positive that you are the only person who can defeat Scott Walker in this election. Your Wisconsin roots and your loyalty to Wisconsin are sure to please one and all. Your unique combination State and Federal experience is unmatched by the other candidates. Yet what sets you ahead of all of the other candidates is your visibility in the past year and your consistent clarion call for clean, open government.
In a year of secret pledges, secret meetings, secret phone calls, secret emails, and a super secret John Doe investigation, Wisconsinites are eager for a clean fresh start with a new squeaky clean candidate with no hidden agendas and no old baggage to hold them back.
Mr. Barca, please listen to the people of Wisconsin and run for the Governor of Wisconsin.
Yours Sincerely,
SH Crane

Mr. Barca, Fighting Bob LaFollette spoke truth to power in 1924:
"Mere passive citizenship is not enough, men must be aggressive for what is right if government is to be saved from those who are aggressive for what is wrong.”
The time for consideration is over. Now is the time to be aggressive. Now is time for you to follow in Fighting Bob’s footsteps and run for Governor of Wisconsin.
Mr. Barca, please run! With you as our Governor, Wisconsin will rise again!
