Obama Volunteer Attacked in WI

Posted by Eugenia

According to WISN.com and The Journal Times Online, 58-year-old Nancy Takehara of Chicago was physically attacked by a man while canvassing in Caledonia, WI:

“The next thing I know he’s telling us we’re not his people, we’re probably with ACORN, and he started screaming and raving,” Takehara said. “He grabbed me by the back of the neck. I thought he was going to rip my hair out of my head. He was pounding on my head and screaming. The man terrified me.”

Ms. Takehara did not require any medical assistance and no arrests have been made so far. Ms. Takehara did get a personal phone call from Senator Obama, however, where they spoke one-on-one:

Takehara said, “Senator Obama understood… it was wonderful. It made me feel wonderful. It made me feel connected to this government again.”

She also made a plea for a cessation to negative campaign tactics:

“This negative stuff has to stop,” she said. “We’re all Americans. This is about protecting our democracy, not about attacking each other.”
