Wisconsin: We're getting a billboard!

from my email ...

Scuba--

Here’s what Scott Walker promised last year when he won the recall election – “unbelievable amounts of new jobs.” [1]

Well, where are they? Under Scott Walker, Wisconsin ranks 44th in job growth, dead last in short-term job growth, 45th in wage growth and 49th in economic forecast.

I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but the reality is, not everyone knows how badly Scott Walker has unchained Wisconsin from the national economy.

So, we’re going to run an education campaign. And it starts with this billboard we’ll put up tomorrow highlighting Scott Walker’s jobs failure. Can you chip in $10 or whatever you can today to help us get the billboard up and running?

Scott Walker and his Tea Party friends are celebrating the one year anniversary of the recall tomorrow at a rally in Waukesha County. But for too many Wisconsinites, there’s nothing to celebrate.

Because as much as we all hoped he was right about that flood of new jobs, Wisconsin families are worse off than they were a year ago due to Scott Walker’s severe economic austerity measures and his inattention to Wisconsin as he campaigns for president.

Scott Walker has no reason to run a victory lap, and this billboard is going to be right where he can see it to remind him of that fact. Help us make sure everyone else knows about Scott Walker’s jobs failure, too. Can you chip in $10 or whatever you can to run our new billboard.

Thanks,

P.S. -- We've also put together a research memo that lays out all the specifics of Scott Walker's jobs failure. You'll find it available for download at www.wisdems.org/walkerjobs.
