ELECTION 2012 - Candidate KATHLEEN FALK called for four (4) debates of the Democratic candidates to let the people zero-in on who they will support on May 8, 2012 and in the final tally. It is an excellent opportunity of enhancement and "show-off" for the candidates seeking the chair of Governorship from the Democratic Party.
So, why has mayor Tom Barrett of Milwaukee agreed to only 2?
Clarity
The voters of Wisconsin need to hear clearly what each candidate expect to do to inform, mobilize, support, raise our economy base, make our state globally competitive and LEAD our state in 21st Century innovations that will build our economy bottom-up and top-down. We need to know the WHEN, WHERE, and HOW MUCH.
No candidate is exempt. In fact, "re-run candidates" such as mayor Barrett and governor Scott Walker from Milwaukee need to provide a lot of "clarity".
They both have so much baggage and practices that have not been in the best interest of the People. However, real estate barons, corporate lobbyists, well-connected cronies, donor for hire organizations and election supporters got huge benefits - contracts, government funding, tax credits, valuable legislation for acquisition, co-running the city of Milwaukee and development; but, not the People.
Since both Barrett and Walker are from Milwaukee with very little to show in their years in office for Milwaukeeans - Barrett as Mayor and Walker as County Executive; we all know how Walker's OK Corral shoot out with the collective bargaining and no results Open for Business claim has gain him a RECALL election and a John Doe hearing.
Barrett has eight years of outsourcing Milwaukee resources and discriminating against the majority population - African American, other People of Color and the Work Challenged to neighboring counties leaving Milwaukee on life-support and Enduring Concentrated Poverty.
He failed in a take-over of Milwaukee Public Schools - I guess he figures if he becomes Governor, he and Superintendent Tony Evers, along with the Greater Milwaukee Committee/GMAC - Milwaukee Metropolitan Association of Commerce/MMAC and the Milwaukee 7/M7 can take over the public funding they have been trying to seize for so long.
Then, there is Barrett and friends - the oligopoly and Caucasian structured Milwaukee 7 that co-run the city of Milwaukee (arbitrarily, not in city of Milwaukee Charter) - Gale Klappa - We Energies, Michael Grebe - Bradley Foundation, Ed Zore - past President Northwestern Mutual, Mary Ellen Stanek, Robert W. Baird and Steve Smith - Journal Sentinel, MMAC and others - that have chosen to run the city of Milwaukee by proxy.
Barrett and Friends wagered a battle to defeat the 9-5 successful ballot referendum for sick time.
Massive un- and under-employment
Report-after-report of the increasing "unemployment" of African American and People of Color of Milwaukee (the majority population of the half-million Milwaukee population - Federal Reserve and Brookings Institution 2008 Case Study declaring Milwaukee an Enduring Concentrated Poverty City, the DWilson 2010 Disparity Study and January 12, 2012 Marc Levine, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee study of unemployment of Black Males in Milwaukee to name a few).
Is the above why Barrett is ducking four debates?
Falk Advantage
If candidate Falk forges an aggressive agenda for ELECTION that includes and mobilizes "blocks-of-votes" across the state of Wisconsin (urban and rural) that are sitting on the sides, un- and under-decided voters that have been left out. She can WIN the position of the next Governor of Wisconsin.
Here are some of the block-voters waiting for outreach in this election. They are:
-- Neighborhood-level business owners
-- African American and People of Color
-- Single Parents and Parents
-- Women
-- Work Challenged voters(un-, under-employed; un-, under-degreed and certificated; un-, under-financed neighborhood-level business; disabled; and re-entry - especially those returning from WAR, INCARCERATION, BOOMERANG EMPLOYMENT, BOOMERANG RETIREMENT and DEGREED students without employment).
We NEED NEW BLOOD in the Executive Branch/office of the state of Wisconsin.
