Throughout today we've learned more details about the possibility that 'moderate' Republican Dale Schultz may bolt the GOP and join with the Democrats. He is under intense pressure from Senate Democrats to switch sides - in fact Schultz once was a Democrat. Schultz also was the ONLY Republican who voted against Gov. Walker's budget reform bill and then publicly criticized Governor Walker for his efforts to bring fiscal sanity to Wisconsin.
We learned today that Schultz even went to the Democrat Leader in the Senate and offered himself as a vote for them in the Senate.
This would be disastrous and would mean Democrats would be able to block Gov. Walker's agenda in Wisconsin. We can't let the Left win this way.
That's why we are going all out to win in the 2 RECALL campaigns against Democrats that take place next Tuesday. In fact, if we prevail in these two races the net gain for Democrats through this entire RECALL process will have been ZERO (0) seats. They will have spent more than $30 MILLION for nothing!
So let's go out and finish the win. Let's see those 2 Democrat Senators who abdicated their job duties and fled to Illinois lose their seats. Let's make the Left eat crow for ever starting these shameful RECALL campaigns to punish Republicans who actually DID do their jobs. And let's make sure the Democrats' effort to "buy off" a Senator fails.
We are right now producing our first TV ad for next Tuesday's RECALL elections. We have only 1 week to raise the money to pay to produce these ads and buy the airtime to get these TV ads seen. So please, make a contribution to our campaign effort.

You can contribute any amount from as little as $5 to the maximum allowed contribution of $5,000. TV ads for the 2 RECALL districts are rather expensive. One of the two RECALL campaigns takes place in the most expensive media market in the state of Wisconsin: Milwaukee.
Thus, we're going to need quite a few people who can contribute $100 or more to pitch in. Our goal is to collect more than 500 contributions of $100 or more within the next 24 hours. You can contribute online - HERE.
If you prefer you can also mail in a contribution to our headquarters:
Campaign To Defeat Obama P.O. Box 601684 Sacramento, CA 95860-1684
This looks like a scam to me. Why a PO Box in CA? Can’t they make ads in Wisconsin? The goal is right, but you could even wind up sending money to a Democratic group!
If you want to do something, contact the Tea Party in Wisconsin.
Personally, I would much rather donate directly to the candidate, but I was more concerned about the RINO flip flopping.
Might make him a good target for another recall.
Just a fundraising email fodder.
That guy would get recalled himself if he pulled that.
More pressure than this was put on some of these Senators before they passed the budget reforms and they stood firm. If they didn’t cave then, I doubt they would now.
If this guy was vulnerable, he would have been targeted for recall.
I would think that any Republican wanting to run on a record of success would point to the budget reforms and how they have balanced the budget, created jobs, and helped schools.
I think this is a fundraising scam.
This makes the recall of the 2 WI dem’s very important!
I received an email from one of the other senators last night. He wrote that this was a ‘scare tactic’ and that there was no truth to it. Unfortunately, I didn’t keep the email or I would post it.
i posted about this same email yesterday (post 18) in this thread- see the responses...evidently its not true:

Dems have been hoping for Dale Schultz to jump ship since the Dem 14 fled for Illinois months ago.
Its a sign of psychotic break - projecting fantasy - rather than anything reflected in fact at this point.
Schultz is wishy-washy, but has supported the Republican line with his votes, where it matters.
If he flips at this point, he will be recalled and lose.
psy-ops. Wisconsin Dems have working for months to portray a fractured Republican party - “See, even the Republicans think Scott Walker the radical has gone too far.”
At the height of the protests, some Republican lawmakers were legitimately shaken, but no one jumped ship then, and now that the proof is strong that the union “rights” rollback and budget are wildly successful, there is no chance Republicans jump ship.
We are looking at a years-long shift in political landscape.
I can’t wait for the Walker recall effort to fail - further demoralizing the cancers of goverment unionism and entitlement culture in our state.

Dear Friends,
What should be a good day here in Madison is somewhat marred by people calling me telling me Senator Dale Schultz may become an Independent or a Democrat.
Dale Schultz has been a Republican legislator for over 20 years.
Dale Schultz is not going to become an Independent or a Democrat and people who are spreading this rumor have not personally spoken with Dale Schultz.
If you know somebody who is tellling people that Dale Schultz will become an Independent or a Democrat, you can tell them they are wrong and this will not happen.
Now it is time to focus on getting Wisconsin back on the right track.
Glenn
Thanks for the post! It clears up some things. While I still think that ANYTHING is possible in politics, this scenario seems more and more unlikely.
In the end, Wisconsin dimocrats will loose. The only question is, will they take Wisconsin with them like the dimocrats of Michigan, etc.
The biggest dimocrat failure is D.C. The failure isn’t as obvious because of the massive amount of Federal tax money flowing through that sewer.
