(Also posted in the Wisconsin forum...)

I am here on the Atlantic coast, so can't be there - what can we do to help this weekend? Do you have the capability set up for out of state phone banking/scripts?

How can we help you land this thing on Tuesday?

3. Thank you.

Have asked a few times, but if there was an answer, I missed it. They are all so busy right now, a new thread may be the best way to get a quick answer!

4. Hrm - just checked the 'take action' link. All seems to be local and hands on.

Did you see anything on the site for out of state peeps?

8. I didn't look at it very closely. There's a bunch of field office phone numbers on the Contact Us

12. I will try that in the AM. Good idea.

6. If you are not here, I'm guessing all the organizations supporting

the recall are asking for money to keep ads going on TV. Hope this works!

7. Act Blue is taking donations for Organizing for America, Democracy

for America, and ProgressiveCCC (I'm getting loopy, cannot remember what the CCC stands for).

A few $$$ would help!

10. FaceBook says DFA is up there helping them. nt

[Ruby the Liberal]

14. Dr Dean. Should have known. :D Thank you!

Will call DFA in the am.

[Lifelong Protester]

18. DFA and it's Progressive Change arm ARE showing that

they are asking folks to make calls from home. I got an email about it, tried to copy the link, but it would not let me.

Also, try USA Action/True Majority.

I hope that you are able to connect!

9. Here are some e-mails I have received about what help they

are asking for:


Here's the latest update in Wisconsin --

We have to win at least three Republican recall elections next week to take back the State Senate and we're looking good in two districts right now. Districts 18 and 32 are blue districts and we have two great Democratic candidates. We should be able to pick up both of these seats if we keep running strong.

Polls show us leading in District 14, but not by much. We've gone all-in here with a great TV ad and with thousands of volunteers on the ground and across the country making calls to voters every day.

We're behind in Districts 2, 8 and 10, but polls show us catching up fast. We just expanded our canvass in District 10 and now we're going on offense in District 8 with a powerful new TV ad. But we need your help to get it on the air today.

Can you contribute $8 to help us put our new ad on the air in District 8?


District 8 is a Republican district and Alberta Darling has been elected here for almost 20 years. This was always going to be a tough fight for us, but Darling's attacks on middle class families have made her vulnerable. A win here would be a huge upset and we have all the momentum.

DFA has been on the ground for weeks with a massive canvassing program and with volunteers across the country making calls to voters in the district. This new ad is our August surprise and it could be what puts us over the top. Please contribute $8 right now to help us put our new ad on the air.

This is our last chance to expand our ad buy in Wisconsin ahead of the August 9 recall election. Please contribute now.

Thank you for everything you do.

11. Thank you, I got that email also.

They are wonderful, the work they are doing for all of us. I really hope they are successful, it is so important. Sending them a donation seems to be the best way to help right now.

13. Yes.... I think your right... Did you see this one?

Alberta Darling is up on the air with desperate attack ads filled with lies about my record. We only have six days to fight back and get our voters to the polls.

I am counting on you to ensure that we have the critical funds needed to keep our positive message on TV. Can you help out by making an emergency contribution today?

Make an emergency contribution of $100, $50 or $25 today and it will go directly to fighting back against negative ads.


Alberta Darling and her corporate special interest friends will stop at nothing to keep her in power. For the next six days, I'll be relying on you for the resources to fight back against outright lies from Alberta Darling. We must stay on TV and launch an aggressive get-out-the-vote effort in these final days to counter misleading attacks.
We are $11,834 short of meeting our fundraising goal this week. Your emergency contribution of $100, $50 or $25 will go a long way to reach voters and help get our message out.

Our message is resonating, we are gaining momentum each and every day, and polls show this race is neck-and-neck. In six short days, we will make history here in Wisconsin.

We can win this race -- and you can be the difference.

Sincerely,
