Liberal Campaign Machine in Overdrive in Wisconsin Recall
The MacIver Institute ^ | 5-29-12 | The MacIver Institute

This should put an end to any stories that Big Labor, the Democratic Party and other left wing organizations aren't going all out to recall Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.

The John K. MacIver Institute for Public Policy, the organization that for months has been tracking the financial contributions of these groups through their Big Labor Big Money Matrix, today published the Liberal Mobilization Matrix. The Mobilization Matrix tracks the grassroots activities of more than fifty state, national and liberal organizations who are active in Wisconsin in the days leading up to the June 5th election.

From phone banking, to get out the vote canvassing, from rallies to radio ads, MacIver's Liberal Mobilization Matrix includes educational efforts as well as overt campaign-related activities.

As the election nears, some on both the left and the right have made the case that national groups, including national Democrats, are pulling back amid lower expectations for Democratic challenger, Tom Barrett, the Mayor of Milwaukee.

Such claims are obviously conjecture, which is refuted by the MacIver analysis.

Not to panic, but as MacIver, a solid conservative think-tank based in Wisconsin that has been tracking this closely shows, if Scott Walker prevails it won't be for a lack of trying. While Ditzy Debbie Downer is babbling about how this is an isolated election in the hinterlands which won't have any implications nationally, this analysis shows that a lot of liberal groups aren't abandoning ship.

If you can help the Walker and WI Senatorial recall efforts, now is the time.

Now we know where all that stimulus money went. Our taxes used for this?

I’m am sick of getting funneled noting but articles about this or that leftwing group going into “overdrive”. What the hell are the conservative groups doing?

All of these dollars being poured into the race are good for the state’s economy, and hence the revenue flow into state coffers.

Win win win.

Walker wins.
The businesses win.
The state wins.

Thanks, liberals. See you at the next battleground.
