[AGL] Fw: Fwd: Arrest warrants

[Frances Morey]

Walter Timberlake,labor leader emeritus, passed this on from moveon.org. Moveon 
and alternet.com and a few other sources carry the only news items I feel that I 
can trust these days. I certainly didn't hear about this on MSM.
Beautiful day, gotta get over to the kite extravaganza.
Best,
Frances

 Republicans in Wisconsin are out of control, and the best way to stop them is 
with the recall effort that Democrats just launched. Can you help us reach our 
goal of $150,000 to get the recall off to a strong start by donating to the 
Democratic Party of Wisconsin via ActBlue?

Dear MoveOn member,

Republican politicians in Wisconsin have gone mad with power. 
Yesterday, the state Senate president issued arrest warrants for the brave 
Democratic state senators who left Wisconsin to stop the attacks on workers.1 
And Republicans have locked down the Capitol building, even denying access to 
firefighters responding to an emergency call.2
We need to put a stop to this madness, and the only way is to flip control of 
the state Senate with a recall election.
Grassroots progressives, students, workers, and unions in Wisconsin are coming 
together with the Democratic Party of Wisconsin to do just that.3 But they're 
going to need a lot of help. MoveOn members in Wisconsin are already 
volunteering to canvass voters. The rest of us need to raise $150,000 to get the 
recall campaign off to a great start.

A number of Republican senators are particularly vulnerable, getting less than 
51% of the vote in their last election.4 We can win this, but with billionaires 
like the Koch brothers supporting Walker's plan,5 progressives in Wisconsin are 
going to need the support of all of us.

Over the past 36 hours, over 245,000 MoveOn members signed an emergency 
statement of support for the "Wisconsin 14," the brave Democratic senators who 
left the state to block a vote on Walker's plan. They're continuing to hold firm 
and stay out of Wisconsin.

But the fastest way they can come home to their families—with workers' rights 
intact—is if some Republican senators see the light and decide to oppose the 
governor. Organizing a strong recall effort is the best way to help make that 
happen.

$150,000 will send a clear message to Scott Walker and his allies in the Senate 
that there will be dire consequences if they keep pushing their radical agenda.
