I like the new 72 county strategy but that means we all need to volunteer & donate more if we want more resources.<br /><br />I met many DPW staff this past weekend & was very impressed with most. They knew what they were talking about when I pushed them for details on strategy. Great projects & strategies being put in place for 2014.<br /><br />Last point is to stop expecting the DPW to do everything. If you want a young Dems group in Wisconsin, start one. It costs almost nothing to start a Facebook page & Twitter account to start organizing around a specific age group or issue.<br /><br />We all feel anxious about 2014 & the need for a new Wisconsin Governor. We all have our own opinions for how it should be done. We had a chance to elect a new DPW Chair & most of us voted overwhelmingly to keep the current team in place. Time to move forward together with all of us contributing as much as possible in our own unique ways. <br /><br />We will do this. Scott Walker will be a Dallas based Koch Brothers lobbyist very soon.

Just bashing Walker won't do it. <br /><br />Outline how the budget would be different under a Democratic Governor. State the policies, state how they would be paid for, and state how they would help people. <br /><br />It's obvious that taking away peoples rights and giving tax cuts to the wealthy doesn't create jobs.

Having to "buy into" coordinated campaigns is a strong one, and people that are labor supporters need to realize that the Dem party will never show strong support for labor anytime in the near future, until something is done about the "people" (see corporations) that fund them.Doug Cvetkovichhttp://fdlfvr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-30592631045114134712013-06-09T23:16:27.708-05:002013-06-09T23:16:27.708-05:00Change the constitution to make it easier to get n...Change the constitution to make it easier to get nomination signatures for state offices? What good will that do for anyone?<br /><br />If someone wants to run for state office, they should already be visiting other parts of the state and getting to know the people and issues in those counties. <br /><br />A candidate who isn't willing to visit other county parties and CD conventions across the state doesn't have a chance at winning a statewide race.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-19506920584342499252013-06-09T22:34:12.855-05:002013-06-09T22:34:12.855-05:00Thanks for posting that Jeff, but I wonder if Vivi...Thanks for posting that Jeff, but I wonder if Vivian knows how many times she's contradicted herself.
