Recall Efforts Grow | Weekly Top Ten

Week ending Saturday April 2, 2011 Weekly Highlight: Wisconsin/Maine: Recall! by Abby Zimet Less than halfway to their deadline, Wisconsin Democrats have more than enough signatures to launch the first recall election of GOP supporters of Scott Walker's anti-union travesty. And a movement is underway to create a citizens' recall process in Maine, where one does not yet exist. Only a few hundred more signatures needed. It is time to act!!  As the extreme Right-wing attacks on working Americans escalate, we must stand strong and raise our voices louder! Dear Readers, the Spring Fundraising Campaign for Common Dreams will begin on Monday. Can you become a Sustaining Member to stand with us against this Right-wing power grab? We need our independent media now more than ever! We must raise $50,000 in this Spring Campaign to meet our budget. Can you become a Sustaining Member? Our mission at Common Dreams is to inform, to inspire and to ignite change for the common good. And daily we are seeing the common good trampled by the Koch Brothers funded ideologues, in state after state and in Washington. We must prepare ourselves for the long fight ahead. We must assure our voices stay strong. The Koch Brothers are in this battle for the long haul. We must be too. By informing millions about the truth and inspiring people to act, we can ignite change together! Thanks for your support!!             Our Weekly Most Read Views...
