Last night, members of Democracy for America and Progressive Change Campaign Committee made over 10,000 phone calls to Wisconsin to Call Out The Vote for Tuesday's Supreme Court Election.

The calls are going fantastic. Many voters don't know that JoAnne Kloppenburg is the only Democrat running for the WI Supreme Court. In fact, lots of voters don't even know the election is this Tuesday. So, our volunteer calls to local WI voters are having a huge impact. Can you sign up for a 2 hour call shift today?

Yes, I can call today!
Yes, I can call tomorrow!
I can't call today, but I can chip in $7 towards the campaign to win.

Here's what's at stake: The fate of the bill stripping collective bargaining rights for public workers in Wisconsin will be decided in the courts. Right-wing conservatives currently hold a 4-3 edge on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which means they will likely uphold the the law -- unless we can flip the balance of power on the court.

This Tuesday, April 5th, one of the most conservative members of the court is up for re-election. He is in real danger of losing too, as polling shows the race nearly even.

Let me be clear, incumbent David Prosser is the Republican in the race. He's as right-wing as they get. When he was in the state legislature he voted 95% of the time with Scott Walker. And Prosser has said repeatedly he will "closely mirror" Walker's views on the court.

That's why, yesterday, Sarah Palin endorsed his campaign and called on Tea Party supporters to vote this Tuesday. The good news is we can beat them if we get Democrats out to vote.

Will you sign up to make calls right now?

Yes, sign me up to make some calls!
I can't call today, but I'll contribute $7 to fuel the fight.

JoAnne Kloppenburg is the progressive Democrat in the race.

She's currently Wisconsin's Assistant Attorney General and has a track record of standing up for the people. Most importantly, Joanne will be a Supreme Court Justice led by the rule of law, not Scott Walker's political ambitions.

Let's make sure every voter in Wisconsin knows what's at stake this Tuesday and do everything we can to get out the vote for America's working families.

Thank you for taking action today.
