Sam: Sorry there was an issue with the credit card. Amazon has some old cards and occasionally the wrong one gets used. I can't seem to find in the kickstarter site where to resend the donation. Do you know? Dan Schley
I can't wait to see the film! I have been so passionate about what has been happening to our democracy. It has been an unbelievable year mostly filled with outrage. This film hits close to my heart because finally the real story will be told the way it was, the way it is, and how we are going to take back our state! Thank you so much!
I'm so excited to see the film. Now, please design a t-shirt so that I can contribute a little more to the cause and get a t-shirt to boot! :-)
Terrific work! Can not wait to see this film...thanks so much
TERRIFIC NEWS, SAM. CONGRATULATIONS!

I raised my pledge from $10 to $25 because this historic documentary MUST be made. I live in Florida and we are dealing with Gov. Rick Scott's actions right now. Please continue to help FUND "WISCONSIN RISING!
Wahooooooooo! We did it!
yeah! congrats and keep on keepin' on!
lets keep this going even though the first goal has been achived
Wow just 723 people. There are so many people affected by the topic of this film. Congratulations to everyone.
Great to get to the goal, but it won't cover the film and I heard kickstarter has some significant fees, so if you came here to donate don't let the project being over the goal stop you.
Congrats on reaching the stage one goal! I look forward to your staff video. : )
YAY!!! Made it!! Power to the Peeps!!!

Even though I'm poor, I'll up my pledge $25 if needed. Waiting to see!
i'm inspired by cristalyne's comment and am going to add to my donation. i know everyone wants to see this completed
from what i've seen, i like it....brought tears to me eyes. thank you for your interest Sam, keep up the great work.
Momentum is on your side, Sam. I have no doubts you'll reach your goal and this important documentary will get made. We need it!
Sam you are awesome!
Best of luck with your project. I can't wait to see it!
(I'm a DC-based documentary filmmaker who made a pledge to fund one project every week in 2012. You're my second funded project!)
I have posted and posted and posted this, anywhere I can think of. I hope it helps! I have also backed.
I upped my pledge another $10. I hope everyone else does the same or more! I am so anxious that I can hardly stand it. Lets pull this together people. It is time to STAND UP FIGHT BACK!
I just might donate what I CAN AGAIN. BEST WISHES SAM!
Sounds great. In addition to the amazing demonstrations in Madison, there were (and are) large protests in small towns all across our state. I've compiled some info on some of them if that's of interest.
I hope you get to do this, Sam. This is an important story and you are the right person to do it.
I'm a backer! Hope you are able to tell this story!
Good luck. I was at the protests this spring with my family. I work for the Milwaukee Public Schools. My son was a student at UW Madison and actually is seen in your film clip. I forwarded your Kickstarter to my FB friends.
