Shame Johnson

One of my biggest takeaways from yesterday the Ron Johnson radio hour - his plan is for the GOP to shame Governor Evers into caving to their demands. Well, maybe it’s due time we publicly shame Ron Johnson (outside of Reddit and socials).

I’m looking for anyone interested in setting up in person town halls for Ron Johnson. He refuses to meet us face to face because he knows his win was very, very marginal. I’m experienced in events, but am looking for some backup outside of my usual circle. I’m in Milwaukee, but would like to hold town halls all over.

I believe we are also a state that can recall our legislators?

If he doesn’t plan to run again, this term makes him extra dangerous because he has nothing to lose. We can take action- we can make him face us or face losing his job.

Empty seat town halls are happening all over. Let’s do this and make his life an embarrassment.

EDITS: 1) Complications on recall- while cannot be enforced Federally, still can be done. Think of it as a "No Confidence" vote. Trump was impeached, but not removed. This was the article I was initially referencing which discusses the nuances further: https://wisconsinexaminer.com/2021/03/10/can-wisconsinites-recall-ron-johnson/

2) OF COURSE HE IS NOT GOING TO SHOW UP! He hasn't in years. The point is an Empty-Seat Town Hall. The link above provides an example (which is one of many)

From Super-Cranberry2608: For people asking- the empty seat Townhall is when you arrange a Townhall yourself. You are involved in your community and wanna speak about the issues so you secure somewhere to be, invite a ton of people through social media and any other advertising you can think of, you make sure people show up and invite a a member of your legislature. You leave one seat for that member of legislature. Then the member doesn’t show up and it shows they’re unwilling to speak to their constituents. You still discuss the issues amongst yourself and, hopefully, build community, make connections and lay the groundwork for more organizing. Having eyes on you from media so it’s reported on that a constituent, or group of constituents, went through all this and the Senator or Representative they invited didn’t show is also a positive.

Protests and gatherings are effective. At the minimum, they are an act of engagement. And when he doesn't show? It's a good time talk about the upcoming elections and what we can do.

Yes, there are group like WISDEMS. Join them too! Join all the groups! We are not limited to one action, but we have to highlight Ron Johnson's inaction and make him answer. Can he handle the heat until the end of his term? IDK, maybe he'll show how weak and cowardly he actually is and resign. Will he run again? IDK, he might be greedy enough to do so.

3) For those who have issue with Inseminated Person. If I have a surrogate or gestational carrier carry my biological child, is that surrogate a mother? No. This just BROADENS the language. Somtimes, its okay for us to look at things logically. I was making the point that Johnson's "plan" was to shame him.

BUT ON THAT NOTE: Trans rights are human rights cause obv that's why you are mad. Which is just a weird thing to be mad about.
