“The plan is to win these referendums in diverse areas of the state so they are not just coming from liberal Madison. We all remember the 2004 presidential election when they spent more time talking about the Vietnam War than they did talking about the Iraq war. We don't want that to happen again.”
“We don't have money for a big media campaign to influence public opinion, so I think what we're going to see is basically public opinion in its raw form.”
“What's different between now and '69 is that in '69 it was Madison alone. What's really different now is seeing it in these 31 other communities (other than Madison), some of which are in counties that voted for Bush in 2004.”
“Our intention is after April 4 to assess where we're at. In places that weren't able to get it on the ballot in time for April, we will really push and see if they can get this on the ballot in November, regardless of how the election turns out.”
