Walker’s assault on Wisconsin values will end June 5th Contact: Robert Kraig (414) 322-5324
Tom Barrett showed Tuesday night with his impressive showing in the Democratic Primary that he is the candidate to end Scott Walker’s special-interest fueled assault on security, opportunity, and freedom. Wisconsin progressives now have 28 days to win this battle for the future of our great state.
“The old cliche that this is one of the most important elections in American history is actually true,” said Robert Kraig, Executive Director of Citizen Action of Wisconsin. “On June 5th Wisconsinites will vote in what amounts to a referendum on Scott Walker’s malignant and divisive agenda that seeks to repeal many of the most important advances of the 20th Century and undermine the investments we have made in shared prosperity, opportunity, and freedom.”
“Tom Barrett is absolutely right when he says that Scott Walker has started a Civil War that had divided this state as never before,” Kraig continued. “Walker’s a-moral and desperate strategy of blaming Milwaukee for the stunning failure of his own policies will not work. Tom Barrett will return Wisconsin to the fundamental principle that the purpose of state government is to work in the common interest and for all the regions of our state to promote opportunity, security, and freedom for everyone.”
“Citizen Action of Wisconsin thanks Kathleen Falk, Kathleen Vinehout, and Doug La Follette for enriching the discussion within Wisconsin’s progressive movement on how best to meet Scott Walker’s threat to our most cherished values,” Kraig continued. “In the proud Wisconsin progressive tradition, open and frank discussion and a real contest of ideas makes us stronger. The respectful debate that took place in the primary has created a powerful unity of purpose that will carry us through to victory on June 5th.”
