Wisconsin Recall Elections Begin Next Week

It isn't just about Wisconsin's future, but the nation's.

You can donate to the Wisconsin GOP here, or to a group called Frontline Wisconsin.

And if money is tight, donate volunteering time. There will be a liberal army in Wisconsin to drive the vote. We cannot just sit back and hope our voters show up too.

One major hurdle is that the unions will be acting as if their salaries are on the line, which they are.

Conservative-leaning taxpayers often say their own economic well-being is on the line, but don't act as if it were. They don't come out to drive the vote en masse. They act as if these issues aren't directly relevant to their personal finances, as if they're abstract issues.

They're not. The union knows this is more than abstraction and philosophy, and we need to know that to. And act in that knowledge.

Would you donate four hours of your time if doing so resulted in $1000 or $2500 more dollars of income per year for the next ten years? Most people would. Pretty sound investment of time.

And that's what's on the line here. But people don't act like that's the case.

Thanks to Ben for all this.
