GET ON THE BUS with volunteers from the 42nd Ward to help Barack win Wisconsin.

We have been reassigned to Wisconsin. We will get back to everyone with new details ASAP but I'm told that our canvassing location will be in Southeast Wisconsin (Milwaukee, Racine or Kenosha).

I would like to invite you to AGAIN join me in traveling to a battleground state to campaign for Barack Obama on Saturday, October 25 through Sunday, October 26.

Since Gov. Sarah Palin started scaremongering against Barack Obama last weekend, John McCain's rallies have turned into surreal displays of open bigotry. In Minnesota this weekend, McCain finally tried to tamp down some of the hate—before continuing his attempt to associate Obama with Bill Ayers in the same gathering. The following three links are videos of his angry and hate-filled supporters, including a disraught woman who tells McCain she is scared of Obama because he is an "Arab."

We need you on ground now more than ever in the battleground state of Wisconsin to show these hate filled McCain supporters that no candidate can win the White House by utilizing racism and fear to motivate voters.

We are still renting a bus for the trip this time - and SEATS ARE ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVED BASIS. The bus will leave at 6:30 am from a location in the 42nd Ward to be determined. Otherwise, volunteers can travel on their own or car caravan with the group to our office destination.

We will canvas in Wisconsin from 11AM to 4PM on Saturday and Sunday and then return to Illinois Sunday evening.
