Friends,

I have a simple and easy request for you all. No it doesn't require money or bringing cases of water to the office. Today is not only Mother's Day but it is also my birthday. I turned the big 2-4 this year. I was hoping as a birthday gift to me, a Mother's Day gift to your mother and my own mother you would sign up for a shift through our Oshkosh Recall Office. Whether you are up in Neenah or Menasha, out in Omro or right here in Oshkosh, all I want for my birthday is a successful campaign. 

One shift- just comment below, email me at aaronca@wisdems.org or call me at 920-385-0495.

I don't mean to sound selfish here (it was Jess' idea anyways) but it really would make my day. I spent my birthday in the office making calls, my mom is sick at home, my sister is in Colorado and dad is in Nevada. You guys are my big recall family and you all mean a lot to me. Seeing your faces is the best present ever.

One shift- just comment below, email me at aaronca@wisdems.org or call me at 920-385-0495.

What will you do with 27 days to oust Walker?


Dear Friend,

Wednesday, May 9th is a special day here in Wisconsin this year: Unity Day, the day that we come together to support the Democratic nominee for governor Tom Barrett against Scott Walker. On Wednesday, we will begin campaigning for Tom  Barrett. We need to start the general election strong!  We will have thousands of volunteers making phone calls and knocking on doors across the state that day, and we need your help.

We're in the final stretch. May 9th will be only 27 days from the general election on June 5th. The only way we can defeat Scott Walker's millions of out-of-state special interest dollars is by having an active and enthusiastic volunteer base. Our grassroots campaign will carry us to victory on June 5th if we have enough volunteers to boost turnout.


This is it. We've been working on it for a year. Don't sit it out. We only get one chance to win back Wisconsin.

Upcoming Voter ID Information Sessions- Fond du Lac and Winnebago

Hello again!

Earlier this week, I emailed you about the Wisconsin state legislature passing one of the strictest voter identification bills in the country last year. We had one information session on voter ID and will be holding two more in case you missed it. One in Fond du Lac and one in Oshkosh. Anyone who wants to vote in the upcoming recall elections will be required to show a photo ID to be issued a ballot. There is much concern and misinformation floating around regarding this new law and what it means. In order to attempt to clear up misinformation and educate the general public, we will be holding two more public information sessions on the Voter ID law this coming week.


The first will be Monday, March 12th at the Fond du Lac County Party meeting at the FDL office at 21 N. Portland St. CLICK HERE TO RSVP FOR FOND DU LAC

What: Fond du Lac Voter ID Information Session
Where: 21 N. Portland Street, Fond du Lac.

What: Winnebago Voter ID Information Session
Where: The Delta Restaurant, 515 N. Sawyer Street, Oshkosh.
When: Wednesday, March 14, 7:00-7:45 PM

It is vitally important that all citizens are aware of the provisions of this law. No one should be denied their constitutionally protected right to vote. We will arm ourselves with facts, and that is how we will win. Please attend and encourage anyone you know who has concerns about to the law to do the same.

CLICK HERE TO RSVP FOR FOND DU LAC Monday March, 12th at 7pm.

Recall Update: 3/1/12

Walker’s millions can’t challenge the will of 1,000,000 Signatures!

You heard it right, Walkers efforts to raise unlimited corporate out of state dollars
isn't helping him challenge the million plus petition signatures. Together all of you, with tens
of thousands of other volunteers, stood out in the cold, rain, snow and took time off to collect
twice the needed number of signatures in the allotted time frame. Scott Walker with his millions
in dirty cash can’t follow the rules and whined on Monday that he didn’t have enough time to
verify the signatures in the generous time frame set by the GAB. This is after the GAB gave him
an extension from ten days to thirty days!

All of us at the office here including Kyle, Jess, Amy, Trinity, Sarah, Erich and myself are
all thankful for the work you have done thus far. The Oshkosh Office has entered over 4,500
petition pages since we started three weeks ago. Congratulations, this is your accomplishment.
We are starting a Thousand Signature Club in the office for our heavy hitters, if you want to join,ask and we will sign you up. Also we have very few people signed up for the weekend. Please
look into helping out this Saturday and Sunday, we really need your help.

If you want to take a break from Data Entry and want to knock some doors, Organizing
for America is going to be doing door knocking this Saturday March 3rd. They will be starting
the first canvass at 10am and the second at 1pm. This effort will be key to ensuring we turn out
the vote against Scott Walker by helping people get their new voter IDs and understanding the
new law. If you would like to help OFA, please call the office at 920-385-0495 or email me at
aaronca@wisdems.org.

We will also be having Voter ID Info Sessions starting next week. The first will be held
at 480 N. Main Wednesday night at 6:30pm. This session is meant to give our volunteers
accurate information on the impact of the new voter ID law as well as brief primer on what our
plans are to tackle this issue. I will communicate when the next sessions are scheduled asap.

Help Us Recall Scott Walker

My dearest friends and neighbors,

I wanted to write to you briefly to provide an update on the recall campaign and our activities in Winnebago County. As you know, your grassroots movement submitted over 1 million signatures to the Government Accountability Board. These signatures are in the process of being counted and checked for authenticity. We understand that an election to recall Scott Walker will be called on March 19, taking place ten weeks later.

While we wait for the GAB's ruling, here in Oshkosh, we are still at work preparing for the election to boot Scott Walker out of office. Our current objective is to enter the names of the people who signed the petition into our voter database. This effort is critical as we must ensure every signer has a voter ID and is registered and ready to vote out Governor Walker! Sign Up To Volunteer Here!

Entering the one million signatures is a massive task and we need your help! Even if you can only come for one hour, please sign up to help us out. Your efforts will be critical in contributing to this fight. We have open shifts this week and next weekend to enter data. Sign Up To Volunteer Here!.

Thank you all for your help and I look forward to seeing you soon. It is because of regular Northeastern Wisconsinites like you that we are going to win this election and take back our State. If you need to contact us for any reason, please reply to this e-mail or call us at (920) 385-0495.
