I am on Senator' Feingold's steering committee and received this message yesterday which is meant to be widely shared.
With much attention being rightly paid right now to the Democratic Presidential contests in various states, we cannot forget that Wisconsin will once again be a battleground as we edge closer to November. No state was closer in the past two presidential contests than Wisconsin, and with no statewide candidates up for reelection this year, combined with our desire to increase our majority in the State Senate and retake the State Assembly, it’s critically important that our party do everything possible early on so that we can be successful this election.
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin is already leading the way and has started to implement an exciting new program that empowers local Democrats and gives Progressives from Marinette to Monroe the ability to easily reach out to their neighbors in their own communities – igniting a powerful grassroots network of activists that will lead us to victory this November.
By getting involved in the Neighborhood Leader program, you make the commitment to contact just 25 people in your area, three times between now and Election Day about our slate of Democratic candidates and the issues that matter most to your community and our state.
As a Neighborhood Leader, you will get targeted lists of people in your community, as well as literature for you to personalize and distribute. You’ll also have a wide variety of online tools at your disposal to help communicate with your neighbors as you see fit.
This program will be instrumental in an enormous ground game that will carry Democrats to victory this November.
Over a thousand Progressives like you have already signed up as Neighborhood Leaders across the state. If you interested in helping us move our State and Country forward, please contact Jeremy Slaughter with the DPW at (608) 255-5172 or jeremys@wisdems.org or sign up online to be a Neighborhood Leader at

With high hopes,
