This is a remdiner for our Wisconsin readers to vote today, April 7, 2009.

Here is a list of candidates running today who have been endorsed by Progressive Majority:

Dorothy Lenard
Candidate for La Crosse Mayor (Challenger)

Dorothy Lenard has been a Progressive Majority farm team member for almost 4 years and was one of the first candidates we helped elect to the La Crosse City Council. Dorothy has served one term on the City Council and is challenging Mark Johnsrud, the current conservative mayor. Johnsrud has drawn much opposition, and Dorothy will have to run a strong race to emerge victorious in a seven-way primary. Dorothy is a professor at Viterbo University and is well respected throughout La Crosse as being pragmatic and a consensus builder. We met several times with Dorothy as she started assembling her campaign in October and November.

Kathleen Falk
Candidate for Dane County Executive (Incumbent)

Since 2000 most Americans have come to realize that they have no guarantee that their vote will count. We know pretty much for a fact that there have been at least 2 dubious elections in Florida, at least one in Ohio, one in Georgia and one in North Carolina. And this is probably just the tip of the iceberg. Florida's elections have become so bad that the Carter Center, which monitors elections all over the world, refused to monitor Florida's 2004 Presidential election because Florida did not meet the minimum requirement for a democratic election. Even Republicans are admitting probable election fraud in Ohio and Georgia and probably also Florida.

The Secretary of State Project is targeting states where election fraud has happened or seems likely and where the secretary of state is either doing nothing or seems actively involved in election fraud. They support honest, reform-minded candidates for secretary of state who take election fraud seriously. So far they have won in Ohio, Minnesota, New Mexico, Nevada and Iowa. Their winning candidate, in Ohio, Jennifer Brunner, has been winning awards for her reforms.

I am on an email list of women who were all pregnant together nearly 12 years ago. That's all we have in common. There are radical left-wingers, radical right-wingers, activists of all stripes and everyone in between. They just finished a ferocious debate about Sarah Palin and the attacks on her as a mother.

I didn't say a word, which is weird because when it comes to politics, I'm usually up front with the quips trying to sway the moderates. I wanted to wait until I could come up with a list (and control my temper), because I wanted to give the independents and swing voters in the group something to really think about. This is what I told them:

I think she's drop-dead gorgeous.

I think Tina Fey had better come back to SNL to play her in the skits.

I think she's a dynamic speaker.

I think she's closely tied to Ted Stevens.

I think it's no one's business but hers and Todd's how they run their family life.

I think she's a secessionist who is more loyal to Alaska than the Union.

I think she's a force to be reckoned with.

VOTING IN OREGON: The 2008 Democratic Primary gives you a peek into the mail-in elections that Oregon employs, as well as the inside of the Lane County Convention Center where the results came in the evening of the 20th.

The latest video by Oregon's Official MTV Choose or Lose Street Team 08 Citizen Journalist, Nezua.

Clicking the picture above will take you to the video page.

COME WATCH ME change my clothes. On MTV's dime. The newest vlog titled News From Nezua [1] is freshly-shorn and waiting to entertain you with nifty editing and news of Oregon. True, a volatile mix, but Creosote is my middle name, chula. Either that or Pine Cone...it's hard to make out the writing sometimes.

This piece was originally covering about six stories, but I ditched the rest of the footage in the editing process as I suddenly realized it would be a fifteen minute spot, if not.

Program provided here. See you at the proscenium arch, baby.
