With help from people like George Takei and the National Convention in Milwaukee, this has a chance to change.

It is rare for candidates of course to go to towns under 15000 people. But it would be nice. I am not holding my breath this happens.

the DNC was MIA in 2014 when we should have deposed King Walker. We also had a severely lame candidate that year, thanks to our state Dem leader. Vinehout would have run, bur she was critically injured in a traffic accident. I wrote a letter to Peter Barca to run, but he never showed interest. He knows he has more power where he is.

Even my true love Barack said he’d put on his comfortable shoes and walk with us. But did not.

So, yes. Dems. Heed the warning fromWI
