ok, du, time to show us what you can do.

i had the pleasure of meeting kelly westlund, candidate for david obey's old seat in upper wis, 7th district.
she is a fantastic candidate. she is in the koch brothers sights, big time. the district is full of timber and ore, and sits on lake superior. they even stuck a teabagger in her primary to prevent crossover voting. sean duffy's first 3 donors are americans for progress, crossroads, and just flat out, the kock brothers.
she will help boot scott walker in the general, because she has a 10pt gender advantage. and it IS a long time republican district. the assholes are always watching us. they saw david obey leave without a successor, and they jumped in and took that seat.
time to take it BACK!!!!!

i have been braggin on y'all, telling her how much we love to talk to candidates, and what we did for others, including andy stephenson.
i will be starting a funding challenge soon here, so grease up that plastic.

in the meantime, please pop over to this thread, and say hi.
i will be peppering her about my own issues, the environment, the small farm economy, soil conservation, and families.

hit her up, k&r, and please show her an awesome du welcome.
