We told you awhile back about Buzz Davis's project to distribute 36,000 tabloid newspapers in State Senate Dist. 14, where Fred Clark is running to replace Luther Olsen.  Here's an update.  If you can't deliver papers, a donation would be welcome.
 
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.
 
1. Over 13,000 Newspapers Dropped.  Volunteers have already dropped over 13,400 newspaper at homes in Portage, Baraboo, Lake Delton, WI Dells,

Pardeeville, Wyocena and another community today.  Below you will find the schedule for the next few days.  We greatly thank all the volunteers and ask you for more help now!  We still have about 8,000 papers to drop at doors and need much help!


  
2. Over 14,000 Papers Bulk Mailed.  Over 35 or so volunteers helped Tuesday afternoon to 7 PM, Wed. from 9AM -1:30PM and finished labeling, bundling, bagging and getting to mailing house 14,100 copies of the newspaper.
 
Most papers will hit by Fri. and a few maybe on Sat.  Thus people will have time to digest the content as they wish. And, hopefully the paper will drive folks to the polls to vote Democratic Fred Clark).
 
We thank all the volunteers for their efforts to get the job done quickly.
