I want to work for you. I ask for your vote Tuesday.
The odometer on my 10-year-old car is just about to hit 200,000 miles. All this last year, I have worked side-by-side with you as we have fought against Scott Walker's extreme agenda that hurts our basic Wisconsin values. I have heard your voices, your concerns, your worries and your hopes for a better Wisconsin in 28 days.
I remember the man in Wausau who no longer is considered "unemployed" -- he hasn't worked for so long he has given up hope now.
I think of the woman in Green Bay who worries about what she and her three children will do without health care.
The mom and dad of two young children in Milwaukee who see their kids' class sizes mushroom and worry about what next year's cuts to schools mean to their children.
Then there’s the man in Waukesha who pleaded to heal our state because his brothers and sisters don't even talk to each other any more because Scott Walker has torn our families apart.
During this campaign I am both humbled, and inspired, by the incredible grassroots support of almost every major organization that has chosen me as the strongest candidate to take on Scott Walker in 28 days. This unprecedented coalition of hundreds of thousands of citizens is what beats Walker’s $25 million.
Elected officials, the political establishment, worried we'd never get to this day.
But together, we did. We are here. Only together can we finish the job.
My record of job creation beats Scott Walker's record of job losses.
My record of working with people, negotiation, treating people respectfully, getting the job done has earned me the support of AFL-CIO, WEAC, EMILY’s List, AFSCME, SEIU, SEIU Healthcare WI, Clean WI Action Fund, AFT, UFCW, IBEW Local 159 and Local 158, Sierra Club, Building and Construction Trade Union of South Central Wisconsin, Women’s Campaign Fund, Young Progressives of WI and Voces de la Frontera.
I ask for your support. No one will work harder. Thanks for all you have done to get our state back on track. Let's get the job done. I humbly ask for your vote Tuesday.

Thanks!

Kathleen Falk

John Kerry: Future generations are counting on us

Dear Robert, Every election is a chance to write the future. Don't let this election be the moment our children or grandchildren point to as when it all started to unravel. Because without a Senate firewall, some Republicans would seize it as the moment to end Social Security forever, gut Medicare benefits for more tax giveaways, and instantly repeal our historic health care reform. Our margin for error is so slim. If we lose just 4 of the 23 Democratic seats up this cycle, Republicans will have free rein in Washington. The DSCC needs $235,000 before midnight Friday to defend those seats. Future generations are counting on us. Nothing less than maximum effort will prevent us from careening down the wrong track. Fully 90% of the DSCC’s contributions come from the grassroots, and I know they need every last nickel. Don’t take chances with our majority – or with our future. Give right away. Click here to rush $5, $10 or more to the DSCC before midnight Friday. Democrat

Andrew: Big Pharma is getting rich by spreading a plague

Big Pharma is getting rich by spreading a plague among our people. Add your name to support my proposal to hold them accountable Yang Gang -- Every hour, eight Americans die from overdoses.  It’s gotten so bad that drug overdoses have overtaken car accidents as one of the top causes of death in America, and our nation’s life expectancy has decreased for the last three years. It’s a crisis of capitalism run amok. Our government was complicit in enabling this epidemic because they looked the other way while Purdue Pharma and others dispensed hundreds of thousands of OxyContin prescriptions as a non-addictive wonder drug.  And now we’re all grappling with the aftermath. During the debate last week, I gave an answer that has gotten a lot of people talking.  I talked about putting the resources back into the communities that were destroyed so our people could have a fighting chance to get well. Drug companies are now settling lawsuits for a tiny fraction of their overall profit

Sara El-Amine Apply now to be one of our fall fellows

Friend -- I'm the national training director at Obama for America. My job is to develop the programs and resources our staff and volunteers use to teach others how to grow this campaign in their communities. I'm writing because you or someone you know might want to be among a group of people who will play the leading role in our grassroots strategy this fall. They're called our fall fellows. By now you've probably heard of our summer organizers program, through which more than 1,500 full-time volunteer organizers have stepped up as the next generation of leaders in this movement. These folks have been the focus and the heart of our movement all summer, and though each and every one of them will remain a part of this organization, their time as Summer Organizers ends next month. The job of fall fellows is to pick their work up and carry it forward into the months to come. Our fall fellows are going to engage new volunteers on front porches and over the phones.
