Important Things For Wisconsinites To Do On Tuesday, Recall Day

And I'm not just meaning wishing me a Happy Birthday.

Unless you've been living under a rock or listening to talk radio, but I repeat myself, Tuesday, August 9th is Recall Day when the working, freedom-loving people of Wisconsin claim our state, our rights and our freedom back from those that would sell us like so much chattel.

First, if you're in one of the six districts, go out and vote, dammit!  If you like jobs fleeing the state, and the jobs that do remain paying less and less, or if you like not having any civil rights (or really any rights at all), and if you like being in debt the rest of your life, by all means, please vote Republican.

However, if you feel that you should be treated with respect, if everyone should be treated with compassion and respect, if you like working and being able to keep a roof over your head and food on your plate, if you think our kids deserve a decent education, that our vulnerable need our support, then please help reclaim our state by voting Democrat.  It's that simple, really.

If you don't know where to vote, you can find that information by clicking here.  And yes, you can still vote without an ID and you can still same-day register.

If you know someone who lives in one of those districts, give them a friendly reminder to get out and vote.  To make it even easier on you, you can click here and use the handy-dandy "Friend out the vote" page.

It's also not too late to help get out the vote, both for tomorrow and for next Tuesday, August 16, when we defend the two Democratic seats from the marauding teahadists.  To learn where to volunteer and to sign up for a shift or three, you can visit this page.

Lastly, AFSCME is holding a conference call on Thursday night to discuss the elections, good or bad, and what it means for us, the everyday, working and thinking people.  You can sign up to get called for the conference call and submit questions in advance and it appears to be open to the public.  The sign up page can be found by clicking on this here link.

But make sure we have all boots on the ground and let's take back our once and future great state!
