Fr: Buzz Davis, WI Recall Task Force, 608-239-5354
Thanks to all the volunteers and donors for helping make this project a success. We hope that in Senate District 14 Clark will beat Olsen by many votes but the race is close with Clark in the lead 47% to Olsen's 45% in the last poll released to the public. We hope the newspaper will help many people get out and vote and vote for Clark to help him win.
