Actions Waukesha County residents can take to help defeat Scott Walker

   February 22, 2012

Many people here in Waukesha County have told me that they want to help defeat Scott Walker, but they are short on time, or money, or both. Others want to know what actions they can take that would be most effective. Luckily, Dwayne Block has just put together a handy list complete with four specific ways we can help reach the end goal of recalling Walker. Rock on, Dwayne!

From Dwayne Block’s list:

  • Volunteer at the Waukesha Walker Recall Office. Said Dwayne, “We have over 1 million Walker Recall signers. DPW (Democratic Party of Wisconsin) is entering their contact information into the DPW data base. The work is being done at the Waukesha Walker Recall office at: 312 W. Broadway in downtown Waukesha. Phone # is 262-631-9712. Email is: evang@wisdems.org.  I spent 1 hour at the office today. I learned to do the data entry in about 15 minutes – and I am no computer wiz.  Folks, this is like expanding the Democratic Party by 100 times.”
  • Volunteer at the Waukesha OFA office or for one of its events. While OFA is not working to help recall Walker, it is working to make sure everyone who wants to vote is able to vote. Dwayne explained, “After the hour at the Waukesha Recall Office, I walked a block and a half to the OFA Office on Clinton Street. OFA has been working on getting voters registered and procuring the necessary photo I.D. 98% of all Waukesha County voters are registered and have the proper I.D.  So, OFA – Waukesha Office – will be training people and going into Milwaukee to the heart of the problem,  helping register voters, and get them the proper I.D. Think about the injustice of… African American males having their right to vote taken away. Think about an organization that could get over one million Walker Recall signatures in 60 days. Think about OFA opening 50 new offices statewide in Wisconsin. Now think of the impact of harnessing that kind of machine toward registering and I.D.’ing the vast numbers of low turn-out/unregistered/un-I.D.’ed voters in Milwaukee and throughout the state… The Waukesha OFA Office number is: 262-955-2571.”
  • Contribute to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin’s  Defeat Scott Walker Bomb Fund. “We need to keep contributing to that fund. Think about the automobile gas you buy – $3.39 per gallon.  If you could just set aside and contribute $3.39 per day to replace Scott Walker – or every couple of days – or set some goal for yourself, and spread the word to others,” said Dwayne.   DPW’s website: www.wisdems.org.
  • Talk to your friends and neighbors about declared gubernatorial candidates, Kathleen Falk (KathleenFalk.com) and Kathleen Vinehout (KathleenVinehout.org).

There is a lot to be done in a short period of time, but we’ve got a real opportunity to make a tangible different in the history of our state. Dwayne’s nifty list provides options for doing so.

Forward!
