DRAFT: WI Organizing Event

Attached is a draft for the Wisconsin organizing event tomorrow. It's essentially her New Hampshire women for Hillary speech, with an added hit on Walker. I've included that below for reference.

Please send along any edits. 

Thank you!

·     Now, there are people out there with a very different vision for our country.  And they will say, do, and spend whatever it takes to advance their out of touch, out of date agenda. You know a little something about that here in Wisconsin.

 

·     Since Governor Walker took office, he has made it his personal mission to roll back women’s health and rights.  He defunded Planned Parenthood, making it harder for Wisconsin women to get cancer screenings, breast exams, birth control, and lifesaving preventive care.  And he signed a dangerous ban on abortion after 20 weeks – with no exceptions for victims of rape and incest.

 

·     He even repealed protections for equal pay.  Maybe he doesn’t understand what it means when women in Wisconsin are still paid less than men – with women of color often making even less.  Maybe he doesn’t know that when women are short-changed, entire families are short-changed – and America is short-changed.

 

·     Governor Walker thinks that because he busts unions, starves universities, guts public education, demeans women, and scapegoats teachers, nurses, and firefighters, he’s some kind of tough guy.  A real leader.  Well, that’s not leadership.  Far from it.

 

·     Leadership means fighting for the people you represent and putting their interests first.  Leadership means building a future where America works for people again, not just for powerful corporations and wealthy donors. 

 

·     Leadership means building a better future, not taking us backwards into the past.

 

·     Next week, Governor Walker and the other Republican candidates will face off in another debate. 

I'm planning to send to the book at 9, but will continue to keep an eye out for edits overnight.

Thank you!
