Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett will face GOP Gov. Scott Walker in the "one-month sprint to the June general election."
We now have just 28 days to remind Wisconsin voters about Scott Walker's war on working families...so the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) has created a powerful new ad to help get that message out. In less than 24 hours, CNN, PBS, ABC, Politico, Talking Points Memo, Huffington Post, and many more major news outlets have already covered the PCCC's new ad.
Click here to see the PCCC's inspiring new TV ad reminding people what this election is all about -- and chip in $3 to put it on TV in Wisconsin.
The billionaire Koch brothers will do everything possible to help Walker win. They'll lie. They'll distract. They'll lie again.
The PCCC ad gets to the heart of why this election matters -- featuring people at the original protests talking about why we need to recall Gov. Walker!
Here's what CNN had to say about the fresh new ad:
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee unveiled its own ad Wednesday morning that featured first-person accounts from those who said they were negatively impacted by the Republican and Walker-backed budget proposals.
"As a Republican my entire life, I'm appalled at what Scott Walker and the Republicans did," one man said in the commercial.
"This is Republican class warfare, an attack on the middle class," one woman said. "This is a battle we need to win."
The accounts were told from outside the state's capitol, where protests spent weeks in opposition to Republican budget proposals.
Adam Green, co-founder of PCCC, said the spot is a "reminder of how that fight started – and it encourages folks across Wisconsin to finish the job." The ad, backed by $30,000, will run on broadcast and cable television in Madison as well as on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" and Sunday morning talk shows, according to the group.

PCCC's Wisconsin ads last year won 4 national awards for their emotional appeal. Hopefully, today's ad continues that legacy.
