Please make time to testify in support of this bill.  The foundation of our republic depends on an honest and fair electoral process with only one eligible person getting one vote.  Whenever and whereever voter fraud occurs, we are all disenfranchised.

Kudos to the Racine and Kenosha County Sheriff’s for standing up against this foolish law, and kudos to Sen. Mary Lazich for the willingness to do something about this. Some Sheriffs thumb nose at new racial profiling law

We are quoted in the story regarding the newly elected RNC Chairman Reince Preibus so I think it is appropriate to provide the link. Reince Priebus’s tea party tightrope Many in the TEA Party / Patriot movement will continue to be skeptical of the Republican Party on a National Level.  Our movement was instrumental in helping the Republicans retake control of the U.S. House of Representatives, yet no TEA Party / Patriot candidates that were elected, made it into a leadership position.  They read the U.S. Constitution at the start of the new session and swore an oath to uphold it, yet most still support the Patriot Act, TARP, undeclared wars, and the Federal Reserve.  We have been shouting to stop out of control government spending and make deep cuts, yet the best they can come up with is to “roll-back” spending to 2008 levels.  They speak of Washington having a “spending problem”, yet the new Speaker of the House, John Boehner, could not come up with one area to cut spending when he was asked by NBC’s Brian Williams on the Nightly News. It will be interesting to see if Reince Preibus does listen to our movement.  The real proof…

The Rock River Patriots will be having a meeting in Jefferson at Kendall Packaging this Friday January 14th at 6:00pm.  Kendall Packaging is located at 707 N. Parkway Street. At this meeting we will discuss current news and events.  The majority of the meeting will focus on understanding the Wisconsin Legislative Process.  We will be guided through this process by Marv Munyon – Founder and President of Wisconsin Capitol Watch.  Mr. Munyon has a vast amount of knowledge and experience working in Madison with legislators.  This is important information to understand as we begin to push forward with our legislative agenda. Hope to see you all there!

Below is a letter from one of our members to State Senator Mary Lazich regarding Constitutional Carry: Senator Lazich, Wisconsin presents a principled united front expecting a smaller government/freedom minded approach to the right to carry firearms as our founding fathers derived our freedoms as inalienable rights not given to us by man or government, but by God. You can open-carry right now in Wisconsin for free, with no permit & no government registration. You shouldn’t have to register with the government and pay a permit tax if you want to have your coat/shirt over your sidearm. The criminals don’t abide by open carry laws now as they prey on unsuspecting victims. Both my wife and I have a combined 29-years experience in the military and thousands of hours of firearms training. We are both veterans of several military conflicts and truly attest to the value of firearms without government restrictions. Statistically speaking, cars kill more people than guns annually. Why subject us or honest law abiding citizens to overbearing rules when our 2nd amendment to the constitution already grants us these rights. Because of Jim Doyle’s distrust of the people, he twice vetoed Right to Carry legislation during his…

With the new year, new governor, and new legislature the real work has begun.  The Rock River Patriots are now a 501(c)4 non-profit organization.  We are working with other TEA Party / Patriot / 9-12 groups as part of the Wisconsin Patriot Coalition to advance legislation that will help restore our government to fiscal sanity, accountability, and protect individual liberties.  It is an exciting time that still requires vigilance and participation on the part of all patriots.  Staying involved is how the promises by our newly elected officials can become a reality for us all.  It also serves as a reminder to them that our allegiance is not to a party, but to the fundamental God-given priciples of liberty guaranteed to each of us by the U.S. and Wisconsin Constitutions.  Heads up Patriots! This is what you have been fighting for!  Compromise is not an option! No Surrender, No Retreat!  “Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.”–Thomas Paine: The American Crisis, No. 4,1777
