We've got an important primary on Tuesday August 13th with two proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot. "Not only are these two statewide ballot questions intentionally confusing, but they will create real harm. The constitutional amendments would impact the process for distributing federal money by adding unnecessary red tape and slowing funds to those in urgent need," From our friends at the Wisconsin League of Women Voters.

Please encourage everyone you know to vote NO on these questions. We also have a handy list of WEAC recommended candidates here:

Starting next we'll have Tammy Baldwin yard signs in the Region 3 office. Respond to this email if you would like us to save you one!

Kudos to all the Summer Organizing Teams recruiting new leaders and members. I am continually impressed by our growth and determination.

In Solidarity,

Kristin Lytie
