For Immediate Release

CRG Network Applauds Multi-Pronged Effort to End Doyle’s Re-election

Beginning May 15^th CRG Network began receiving inside information that Governor Doyle may opt out of seeking another term in office.  By the end of July, continued intelligence reports led CRG to come to the conclusion that Doyle’s departure at the end of his term was virtually assured.  That conclusion has now been corroborated by independent news sources.

CRG applauds the many groups and individuals that helped build the pressure that forced an early end to the speculation over Doyle’s bid for re-election.  Key elements included the grassroots Doyle Recall effort, the print media’s recent Supreme Court victory over the Doyle administration’s attempt to withhold public records, and the Mark Belling expose revealing Doyle nepotism in the hiring of a chief legal counsel that was not licensed to practice law in Wisconsin.

CRG spokesperson Chris Kliesmet added, “We have a saying at CRG that ‘Politicians are often arrogant morons.  Keep the pressure on and eventually they will do something stupid – then you’ve got them!’  Doyle simply succumbed to this political axiom.  His lies on taxation and wholesale sell-off of Wisconsin to special interests infuriated Wisconsinites who rose up and created pressure in many ways.  However, it was largely Doyle’s arrogance that left him with no option but to run - not for office - from office.  Special kudos go to the 6000 Wisconsinites that created their own grassroots pressure with a recall effort.  Despite their passion to proceed, when it became clear to us that Doyle would not seek another term CRG had no choice but to advise them to modify their strategy to remove him.  Thankfully, that great unspoken concern can now be openly revealed.  We urge those 6000 citizens to stick together, continue to grow, become a political force in Wisconsin, and implement new strategies to finish the job at the next election.  CRG will always be there to help.”
