Milwaukee - On Wednesday, former Viginia Governor Tim Kaine was in Milwaukee's South side to help open the Wisconsin Democratic Party Coordinated campaign office (DPCO). The DPCO opened at 808 W. Historic Mitchell St. and democrats have similar campaign offices in city and throughout the state. The South side is predominately Hispanic.
Congresswoman Gwen Moore was another guest speaker as well. Moore encouraged those attending to work hard and bring another victory for the Democratic party as Wisconsin did to help elect the first African-American President Barack H. Obama.
Kaine, the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee came to Milwaukee to help promote and push for Mayor Tom Barrett (Dem) to win the governorship in Wisconsin. Kaine said, Wisconsin is one of 10 states, the Democrat Party will be spending large amounts of funds and resources to campaign, getting out the vote and advertising to assure a Democratic governor win.
He criticized News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdock, the owner of Fox News and Wall Street for donating $1 million to the Republican Governors Association (RGA). The donation is legal. Members of the RGA support Arizona Governor Jan Brewers anti-immigrant state law SB 1070. At least 22 states have been working to enact a similar law, but a federal judge blocked major parts of the law making it useless. The federal block of SB 1070 stalled implementation of similar laws in other states. Under the Arizona law, officers have right to request the legal status of people during an investigation of domestic to other offenses, if the person is illegally in the state or U.S.
Rep. Colón said, Democrats have supported immigration reform, but have not done nearly enough to make it happen as they should.
Major corporations can now donate an unlimited amount of funds to political campaigns, the U.S. Supreme court ruled.
Governor Jim Doyle (Dem) is not seeking re-election and South side 8th Assembly District Representative Pedro Colón (Dem) has decided not to run again in 2010. Colón became the first Hispanic to get elected as state representative in Wisconsin.
This election year, the Republican party has become unpopular for not supporting federal unemployment compensation extensions for more than 3 million of unemployed Americans. A majority of Democrats in the U.S. Senate approved the measure, including several Republicans.
Republicans have alienated a large majority of Hispanics who traditionally had voted Republican due to years of anti-immigrant rhetoric.
