To: Peter Barca, Assembly Representative
The Governor Wisconsin Needs Is Peter Barca
If you run for Governor, I know that we wouldn't just have to get behind you, but could stand BESIDE you in this fight. You are truly our best hope to pull Wisconsin out of the darkness that has befallen it under the Draconian agenda and appalling arrogance of Scott Walker. When you spoke recently at the protest over the repeal of the Equal Pay Enforcement Act, I assure you that the emphatic chants of "Run, Peter, Run!!" which broke out were not only spontaneous, but from the very heart of this Wisconsin movement. When you take the stage and speak, the people listen. After all, you truly are one of us. For the past thirteen months, you have stood in Solidarity with us. Now, it's our turn to stand in Solidarity with YOU. Please, Representative Barca, heed our call. I am proud to call you my friend, and I would be HONORED to call you my Governor.
Why is this important?
Those of us who have participated in this great Wisconsin movement that sprang up last winter have been looking for a candidate that we could rally behind; one who combines the spirit of an activist with a sharp political acumen; one who is willing to fight for not only us, but for ALL Wisconsinites. Wisconsin doesn't need a figure head or opportunist to challenge Scott Walker—Wisconsin needs a fighter. You have embodied that fighter mentality. You understand that if we keep putting the ACTUAL TRUTH from the front lines of the Capitol out where everyone can see it, we can win.
