Wisconsin State Senator Chris Larson: I'm heading home to Wisconsin to join the fight

[Poboy]

Xxxxxx,

This is Wisconsin State Senator Chris Larson -- and today, I'm heading home to Wisconsin to join the fight in person.

The last three weeks have shown what progressive strength and worker solidarity look like.

My fellow senators and I know that thousands of PCCC members in Wisconsin and across the nation have been fighting right alongside us -- attending rallies, making phone calls, donating to some great TV ads, and telling your friends about the Republican war on workers.

I want to say thank you. I also want to let you know that the fight's not over.

Republicans need to learn what accountability feels like. It's time for Republican senators to be recalled from office.

The PCCC just opened up an official Recall Committee in Wisconsin -- which will mobilize volunteers and run new ads against vulnerable Republicans. Please chip in $3 to help fund this vital work.

Wisconsin Republicans brazenly stampeded over the will of the people as they engaged in their right-wing attack on workers.

They shut down the public hearings, they shut down the legislative hotline, they shut down debate in the Assembly in the middle of the night, and they tried to lock citizens out of the Capitol. And on Wednesday night, when they had their last chance at redemption, Republican senators chose to bend the rules and join Governor Walker's war on working families.

The citizens of Wisconsin are rising up and engaging in the democratic process like never before. Recalls of the Republicans are kicking into high gear as clipboards begin to replace protest signs in neighborhoods across the state.

Governor Walker and Republican senators refused to listen to the public -- but now the people will be heard all across the state at the ballot box.

Please help us win this fight by chipping in $3 to the PCCC's Recall Committee. Click here.

1. Here's the face to the name:

Chris Larson (Democrat)

http://bayviewcompass.com/archives/4914

I was born and raised in Milwaukee County. I graduated from Thomas More High School, then UW-Milwaukee with a degree in finance. Currently, I live with my wife in Bay View. Before I was elected as a Milwaukee County supervisor in 2008, I managed a business specializing in running and physical therapy. My platform emphasizes the need for neighbors to be represented at the state level, instead of out-of-district interests and corporate lobbyists. This is a big change from the incumbent. I will bring strong support for investment in clean energy jobs, public transportation, parks, and education.
