Tom Barrett and GOP's Voter Suppression Operation

Here's an ALERT from Tom Barrett's campaign:

Dear Friend,

It doesn't get more disgusting then this.

Scott Walker and his radical allies have already flooded the airwaves with millions in false, misleading attack ads, but now there is evidence that the GOP's voter suppression operation is starting to kick into gear.

We need to fight back now against these disgusting dirty tricks. Click here to donate $25, $50, or even $100 to our voter protection fund and help ensure every vote is counted.

Scott Walker's political allies know that when working families, minorities, women, and young people turn out to vote, that they vote heavily for Democrats.

That's why shadowy outside groups from Washington D.C. are sending mailings with incorrect ballot information, and why Tea Party groups and the Republican Party of Wisconsin are spending tens of thousands of dollars on a massive "voter caging" operation to stop thousands of legitimate voters from casting ballots on Tuesday.

We've already assembled the largest GOTV operation in Wisconsin's electoral history and thousands of grassroots volunteers are gearing up to fill over 28,500 GOTV shifts.

But to make sure every vote is counted, we need to raise another $30,000 by the end of the day to fund our voter protection effort.

Will you help us make sure that every vote is counted?

The GOP always saves their dirtiest tricks for the last few days before the election -- because they think we won't be able to do anything to stop it.

With your help we will stop these dirty tricks and make sure that every citizen in Wisconsin who has a legal right to vote is able to cast their ballot on Election Day.

Take a stand for protecting the rights of voters across Wisconsin. Donate to our emergency voter protection fund now.

Thank you for your support,

Bill Hyers
Campaign Manager

P.S. In Nevada, a GOP shadow group went as far to put TV ads on the air urging Latino voters not to vote. The GOP has made it clear that they are willing to say or do anything to advance their radical agenda and to get Scott Walker elected. We can't let that happen in Wisconsin. Fight back now by making a donation to our voter protection fund.

This is sickening.

It's a joke for Barrett to talk about "[taking] a stand for protecting the rights of voters across Wisconsin."

Barrett turned a blind eye to voter fraud in Milwaukee.

Jim Doyle and Wisconsin Dems have blocked all legislative efforts to ensure the integrity of Wisconsin's elections.

When it comes to voter suppression, it was the Democrats in Milwaukee that slashed the tires of 25 vans Republicans planned to use to take voters to the polls.

Dirty tricks?

The dirty trick is that Tom Barrett and friends are claiming to be VICTIMS of voter suppression and fraud.
