Citizen Action includes all kinds of citizens
The right wing, fueled by a press release from AG wannabe J.B. Van Hollen, is outraged that AG Peg Lautenschlager has given $50,000, part of the settlement in a lawsuit against a drug company, to Wisconsin Citizen Action.
Cory Liebmann does an excellent job of debunking the hysteria and explaining why it makes perfect sense to include Citizen Action.
My favorite is the disclosure that 45% of Citizen Action's members are Democrats and 34% are Republicans.

Brian, you're getting a little shrill lately. Campaign stress got you wired?
I'm sure this won't be PROOF enough for you, but here is the citation and the source:
Our Members Wisconsin Citizen Action has 61,000 individual members. They come from all over Wisconsin, from each of our ninety-nine state assembly districts and from all walks of life. They are rural and urban, young and old, lower, middle and upper income, male and female, multi-racial and have different faiths and political persuasions. Approximately 45% are Democrats, 34% Republicans and 17% independents.
-- Citizen Action website.
That is so unlikely as to be laughable.
Since they site no source it is either puffery (to be generous) or just a simple lie.
