Governor Walker or Senator Fitzgerald – who is worse for our state?

So now that you have read Governor Walker’s campaign fundraising solicitation that I posted on my last blog, think about this; think about Senator Scott Fitzgerald.  Then ask yourself whether or not this is type of letter fits him just as much as it fits with what we have come to expect by the governor?

I am starting to hear from people who are telling me that they couldn’t even finish reading the letter because of the nasty and egregious tone that Governor Walker wrote it with.  People are telling me how sick it made them feel to read that Governor Walker was actually trying to portray himself as the victim in all of this.  Bottom line, the contents of Governor Walker’s letter to his potential donors absolutely reeks of blatant hypocrisy – if not outright lies.

As you ponder the nerve of the governor actually using this type of messaging to solicit money to keep himself in office, think about what he will actually do if he remains in office after the recall election.  I typically am not one to quickly buy into scare tactics by others attempting to purport or gin up a scenario that the sky is falling.  But I truly believe that we have yet to see how far this governor rally wants to go with his plan for our state.   But even with that said, more concerning to me is the notion of just how far Governor Walker will go if both he and Senator Fitzgerald survive the recall election.

So when you think about the governor’s letter and how extreme he wants to become, think about Senator Fitzgerald being right there lock step with him at every turn.   Believe it or not, there are days when I really wonder which of those two guys is more caustic to our state, Governor Walker, or Senator Fitzgerald?  After seeing the polling numbers from yesterday’s primary for Lori Compas, I believe that getting Senator Fitzgerald out of office is well within in reach and very realistic.  But, that means that each of us will need to reach out to one or two neighbors, friends, or co-workers that we have not yet talked to, and encourage them to vote on June 5^th. 

So many of you have been working hard to get us to this point and it shows.  But we are not done yet and a lot of work needs to be done over the next four weeks if we are to be triumphant in what has been a very taxing sixteen months.  Please let me know how you will be stepping outside of your normal comfort zone to get one or two extra voters to the polls in June, so that we can get the additional votes to remove Senator Fitzgerald from office.
