Progressives Get Serious About Wisconsin Recalls | TPMDC
"A coalition of progressive groups are taking their threats to recall several Republican members of the state Senate in Wisconsin to the next level this week.
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee and Democracy For America say they've raised more than a half million dollars from a TV ad the groups have been running in two Wisconsin media markets for a week. Now they plan to take that money and refocus their attention on recalling three Republican Senators.
PCCC and DFA first raised the recall threat last week, launching an automated phone campaign to gauge voters interest in recall in several state Senate districts. The response? Voters are ready to give their Senators the boot -- and the PCCC and DFA are ready to help.
According to results of the campaign provided to TPM, out of some 50,000 robocalls, 59% of respondents said they'd consider recalling their Republican state Senator as the standoff in Madison between union supporters and Gov. Scott Walker (R) continues. "
