Last night I sent out the weekly update to the Plymouth County Democratic League in my State of massachusetts. I informed the members of the not so surprising abandonment by the so-called Democrats running the Democratic Leadersh... I mean, the Democratic National Committee. Below is the update. Though I do not have the writing abilities of my good friend whom I never met, fellow Kossack Laura Clawson, we need to inform our friends of the hatred the richest 1 % has for the "commoners" and will keep sending their sock puppets to run for every office to do there bidding.
Below is the update. We need to let them know we will "never surrender"!

Chairman's rant:
Attached is the Website of Tom Barrett for Governor. Don't be alarmed if you may not have heard of Tom Barrett and why he is running for Governor so early. Mayor Barrett is running for Governor of Wisconsin. He is running against Teapublican and Koch Brother's bought and paid for Scott Walker in an upcoming recall election. I am writing about this race and asking please donate to the Barrett campaign if you can.

I understand that it is difficult in this economy to donate outside our State. There are so many races in our state that are just as important to us. But in my opinion, this race is a watershed race that will have implications for all middle class US citizens. Scott Walker and those like him are aggressively fighting to take away every right we have as middle class people and returning our country to the gilded age.
The "real" supporters behind Gov. Scott "the Puppet" Walker wants to do away with all laws that support and maintain a strong middle class. In my opinion, they want to go back to the years when an oligarchy rules.
They want a small and elite royalty that controls all the wealth and power, a small tradesman class and a large working class poor. If Democratic candidate Tom Barrett can win this race it will show that the "large working class poor" rejects their warped dream of the United States.
Unfortunately, the Democratic National Committee once again does not see the forest through the trees. The Wisconsin Dem's asked for $500,000 for this race have been suspiciously quiet on helping out. As Greg Sargent from the Washington Post's Plum Line writes:
"The failure to put up the money Wisconsin Dems need to execute their recall plan comes at a time when the national Republican Party is sinking big money into defending Walker, raising fears that the DNC’s reluctance could help tip the race his way.
“We are frustrated by the lack of support from the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Governors Association,” a top Wisconsin Democratic Party official tells me. “Scott Walker has the full support and backing of the Republican Party and all its tentacles. We are not getting similar support.”
“Considering that Scott Walker has already spent $30 million and we’re even in the polls, this is a winnable race,” the Wisconsin Dem continues. “We can get outspent two to one or five to one. We can’t get spent 20 to one.”

Now, the DNC may have a logical reason by not becoming involved in this race the same way the RNC is. How can we second guess the organization that brought us both the Gore and Kerry Presidential run? Hopefully, they won't be as logical when Massachusetts needs the DNC's funds against another race against an incumbent named Scott.
Even a $3 dollar donation will help.
