The recall races in Wisconsin are coming to a head, no question. There are 8 elections scheduled over the next two weeks, 6 with Republican incumbents, 2 with Democratic.
I don't think it's hyperbole to suggest that the outcome of these elections will have a dramatic impact on the direction of our country over the next years, perhaps decades. A clear democratic victory here will embolden progressives to stand up to the Republicans (and those Democrats) who wish to tear down our American way of life and replace it with a corporate kleptocracy.
I could tell you about the dirty tricks being played, the millions of dollars flowing in to the state from Right-Wing front groups. But you know these things. You want to know what you, an ordinary person, can do.
Call voters. It's go time - which means GOTV time. And it has never been easier to do phone banking in your spare time. If you're from out-of-state, simply go here and sign up. In Wisconsin, go here (the link is screwy but the site works).
The stakes are as high now as they ever have been in my young life. And the exciting thing about state-level politics is that the efforts of a small group of people can have a dramatic impact. This is the time. Please, please, spend a few minutes, or a couple of hours, making phone calls. I want my state back, but we need your help.
