...Wisconsin 911

Dear Friends,
The people of Wisconsin is on the front lines of corporate fascism.
We have to support them in every way possible.

Scott Walker is a blatant corporate criminal.
This is NOT about the budget.
Labor has agreed to changes in pay and pensions.
The workers are asking to maintain their right to organize and keep their collective bargaining rights.
This is a planned attack on American workers.
Walker refers to introducing the bill as a "dropping a bomb".

Walker should be recalled as governor, and prosecuted as a corporate criminal with David Koch.
Koch gave Walker $43,000 for his campaign, and $1 million to the Republican Governors Association to advertise for Walkers campaign.
Koch Industries opened a lobbying office across the street from the state capitol the week Walker was inaugurated.

Walker says the protesters are not from Wisconsin.
Where does he think their from, Libya?
He also says that one third of the protesters are in favor of the anti union bill.
What?

He intends to freeze pay for the 14 Senate Democrats, and sending state troopers to their homes.
Elected members of a state government are exile within the United States for standing up for what is right.
He is also giving "at risk" notices to terminate employment for 5000 state workers for standing up for their union rights.

Lets sit back and watch this country reel back 60 years in one month, and this is just the first month of these new republican administrations.  Watch bold Wisconsin Democrats take a stand -- and chip in to get their back!

They need support, listen to Scott Walker's plan of attack:

The governor's office verified the authenticity of the phone call.

"Its all about getting our freedom back."

Please see outreach letter from CREDO:

Dear Friends,

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker got prank called this week by someone pretending to be a billionaire Republican.

Walker revealed that Wisconsin "is ground zero" in the fight against "the public-sector unions." He also said, "sooner or later there will be pressure on these [Democratic] senators to come back."

Well, Wisconsin Senate Democratic Leader Mark Miller joined thousands of PCCC members on a call yesterday and vowed that he and other Democratic senators will "never stop fighting."

Click here to watch a video summary of the call and donate $14 to these bold leaders -- one dollar for every Wisconsin Senate Democratic hero.

We were also joined by the leaders of the Congressional Progressive Caucus -- Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) and Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) -- and a young progressive Wisconsin senator named Chris Larson who said, "We're standing firm."

Rep. Ellison called the senators "heroes." And Rep. Grijalva declared, "If we win this battle for middle-class workers in Wisconsin, we will win everywhere else."

These bold words made news in the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Politico, Talking Points Memo, many local newspapers, and more.

But Governor Walker will be ramping up the pressure on these senators.

Click here to watch the video -- and join thousands of others in chipping in $14 to tell these senators we support them as they stand firm.

Thanks for being a bold progressive,

Stephanie Taylor, Jason Rosenbaum, Adam Green, and the PCCC team
