Last night, we made history

Together, we sparked a national movement and we should all be incredibly proud of what we accomplished. We stood up and fought back. We went on the offense, and we gave people hope and courage throughout the country. We showed that when we are united and stand together, we are strong and powerful.

We have two new Democratic State Senators, Jessica King in Senate District 18 and Jennifer Shilling in Senate District 32. These are historic wins. In the last 85 years, there have been two successful recalls in Wisconsin, we equaled that number. We have changed the dynamic in the State Senate and we've shown Walker that the people of Wisconsin will not stand for his anti-working family agenda.

It's been an unprecedented campaign: thousands of volunteers fanned out in their neighborhoods to knock doors, hundreds of local organizing committees were formed, and voters made their voices heard at the polls.

The last six months have been emotional, empowering and at times heartrending. We've shouted protest chants together, we've experienced the loss of collective bargaining together, we have cried together. And then we rallied, we organized, we collected signatures, we made phone calls, we knocked doors, and now we can celebrate together.

Our historic wins are a victory for all of the teachers, students, firefighters, nurses, public employees and Wisconsin families who came together in February and called national attention to these attacks on the middle class.

We are now preparing for what might be the most important elections of the summer. Next Tuesday, August 16th, State Senators Jim Holperin and Bob Wirch -- members of the heroic "Wisconsin 14" -- face recalls.

Can you to help fund our Get Out The Vote efforts?

Let's bring home two more wins and let Walker and his right wing, tea party friends know that we will not let their unchecked power continue.

Tomorrow, we're moving our entire staff into the two final State Senate districts. We have been up on TV, on the radio and in local newspapers with our ads making the case for our candidates. Most importantly, we have thousands of volunteers signed up to knock on doors this weekend.

We need your help too. Please support our Get Out The Vote operation for Senator Holperin and Senator Wirch with a contribution of $25 today.

Thank you for everything you have done these past six months. We have two more races to win, please help us today.

In solidarity,
