We're in WI. The DSCC and the DNC seem not to have noticed we have problems here.

We are NOT going to give money to the DSCC to spend elsewhere on their preferred incumbents.

We planinstead to give money to a progressive WI campaign for the senate seat currently soiled by Ron Johnson.

Anyone have a website to request being dropped from DSCC and DNC money grubbing?

Yes, that's quite apparent...which is why we want to give to money that serves a WI candidate HereSince1628 Apr 2015 #2

The quid pro quo between DSCC, the DNC and WI is broken, frankly pulverized as far as I am concerned.

No walking shoes = no money to wear-off shoe leather elsewhere.

It's simply a matter of accountability and holding their well-soled shoes to the fire.

Some Dems. are very busy with passing the TPP and working with billionaire Pete Peterson and the financial sector to cut Social Security, education and other programs that help US workers.

is really not being a smart consumer.

I'm not at all happy to have received DSCC fundraising under her banner. It's pretty clear the DNC and the DSCC are still -ALL IN- for the financiers and do nothing incumbents

solely as an end unto itself. Those soliciting our support have no interest in solving the problems we face, only in winning office so they can enjoy its benefits.

There was a great quote from The American President that neatly illustrates my point (paraphrased here for context):

The Democrat's problem isn't that they don't get it. Their problem is that they can't sell it! We have serious problems to solve, and we need serious people to solve them. And whatever your particular problem is, I promise you, Democrats are not the least bit interested in solving it. They are interested in two things and two things only: making you afraid of it and telling you who's to blame for it. That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you win elections.
