The latest polling shows that were down by one. Not one percentage point ONE VOTE. This race is a virtual dead heat with Scott Walker at 47.8% and Tom Barrett at 47.7%.
We need to find the one vote were missing, and thousands more, to elect Tom Barrett and put Wisconsin back on track.
We cant let Scott Walker win, especially not by one vote. Rush your contribution of $11 or whatever you can afford today to help our voter contact program find and reach every eligible voter.
Our people-powered movement is working double-time and its clear that momentum is on our side, but we need to keep our GOTV machine going until 8pm on Tuesday night. The more than 310,000 doors our grassroots army knocked yesterday is just the beginning.
Scott Walker and his Koch-fueled special interests can buy a lot, but they cant buy momentum, and they cant buy the passion and intensity of our grassroots movement.
Help us keep the pedal to the floor by chipping in $11 or whatever you can afford today.
In solidarity,
Mike Tate
Chair, Wisconsin Democratic Pzrty

I'd love to give money towards helping Barrett, but I don't want the DNC touching it.

(3,619 posts)on Saturday, We Are Wisconsin canvassed 257,000 people and Wis Dems canvassed 310,000. That's amazing, and doesn't include any canvassing done by unions.
