Lot's of groups hire them, it's like a revolving door for some -- Tate headed Fair Wisconsin because, apparently no actual gay person who had first hand experience with what gays deal with or a long term association with the gay community from inside was qualified to run Fair Wis. And, what was his pay from the Dean campaign? <br />\kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18125564002688660589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-47737165038184745322015-05-16T06:16:30.094-05:002015-05-16T06:16:30.094-05:00You can pay at the door.

In Manitowoc County a NON-paying NON-member was allowed to sit on the exec committee while actively supporting a right wind candidate for city office. Go figure! Now the guy that permitted this is 6 CD chair and a Lanning supporter. Go figure!Bernard J.

He had his associates attack me non stop as though running for Chair was a capital crime. I was told(by a member of the legislature) that first of all, nobody cares who the chair is and his only job is to raise money. When I argued that Tate lost everything in the state, they said it wasn't his fault. It appears to me that the Democratic Party exists so that Mike Tate and his associates can have good paying jobs from which they will never be fired no matter how poor a job they do. Will that change at this years convention? The odds are against it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-25477156045751508732015-05-15T08:20:20.581-05:002015-05-15T08:20:20.581-05:00Of course there's no plan to "reunite&quo...Of course there's no plan to "reunite" the party. The people who run it want all those pesky grassroots that joined in 2011 to go away.<br /><br />FWIW both Martha Laning and Jeff Smith have pledged to honor the secrecy of the ballots and will not ask to find out who voted for whom. <br /><br />Have Joe Wineke and Jason Rae made similar pledges?

The most active progressives I know stopped going years ago. Rae's election will just be the final nail in the coffin for folks like that.Somebody DO Something!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08717747685928127724noreply@blogger.com
