I want to thank the Oconto County Democratic Party for their support of my campaign. Parts of Marinette County, Oconto County and northern Brown County are in the 89th Assembly District, and I will be proud to represent all of us.

Back from a great vacation and ready to do anything that I need to do to win the election.

I NEED YOUR HELP in any way you can. According to Paul Wellstone there are 3 things necessary to win an election: time, people and money, and they are the most scarce.
TIME is flying! I have to reach 20,000 people. Tell your friends.
PEOPLE can help me. Multiple hands divide time.
MONEY can buy printing, signs, postage...

Facebook is about friends, I hope you will ask me for something someday, as I am asking you today.
Thanks, Bob.

Well it is official, I just got my letter from the GAB, they confirmed that I have 296 acceptable signatures on my nomination papers! (200 were required) Thank you to everyone who helped me collect them. Now let's work together to win the seat. Thanks again, Bob.

Hi everyone. Many of you may not be aware of this, but running for Assembly is in essence, self funded. I must rely on donations from family and friends, especially early in the campaign.
I need printed materials, simple hand outs with my name & why vote for Bob. Please help with any amount you can afford, it's easy on my website: www.boborwig.com . I need to get this done asap, thank you very much! Bob

Why Bob Orwig
1. New jobs - That being said, Bob’s goal is to make Wisconsin’s public schools the best schools in the country. Bob will fight for the rights of our local schools, so even with declining enrollment they will get the same opportunities as schools in the big cities. This is what will attract new business and lead to meaningful local jobs.

2. Bob will represent our community first, vote FOR our benefit- not AGAINST another party.

3. Take advantage of all of our resources respectfully, including promoting tourism.

4. Get the tax burden off the backs of the middle class and insure that everyone who makes money in Wisconsin pays their fair share.

5. Unify the local community of Democrats, Progressives, and other common sense folks, with the opportunity to speak with one voice against the angry wails of the right.
-June 27


I want to bring together our local Democrats, Progressives, Liberals, Greens, and folks with common sense values who want to put the people first. Without a common goal, we are scattered voices against a shouting horde of organized anger. It's time to get over past indiscretions and slights real and perceived. Infighting and factions within groups of common minded people only strengthens the opposition.

Are we willing to just sit by and watch the radical right take over, one seat at a time, from local assemblies through the national leadership?  They are doing it. They are organized. They are LOUD. They are well funded.  Even their public outbursts are scripted.

Our voices can become a chorus of positive action, juxtaposed to the drone of an angry rage.

Join me! A call to arms! The June 30th reporting period is the most important date of my campaign (other that Nov.2). In order to be considered a "viable" candidate, I need ++ funding in my account. Your generosity is appreciated.

Thanks, Bob.

"We've got no time to lose, lets not get caught up in yesterday. There's so much we have to do to change things for the children. Everywhere I go, I hear people crying, and there's no reason why, if we make up our minds, we can all change the world." Bob Orwig from his song "Calm After the Storm"
