Well…Judge for yourself.  From: http://www.activistpost.com/2015/08/windows-10-can-collect-your-data-for.html Windows 10 Can Collect Your Data For Gov’t Agencies – What to Do By Heather Callaghan Windows 10 OS – the ultimate Big Brother? Of the 14+ million people who have recently installed Microsoft’s new Windows 10, there haven’t been many complaints until now. The system is said to run more efficiently, but apparently someone only recently read the tome of a service agreement. Let’s just say that Windows 10 goes above and beyond good service and makes sure that you are being a good citizen. Who is the one really getting the upgrade, here? Continue to site

From all of us at the Rock River Patriots, we wish everyone a happy Independence Day! Today is an important day to reflect on Freedom and what it means to each and every one of us.  What are the costs of freedom? What is freedom to you?  Are we still even free?  What are you willing to do in the freedom fight? What does freedom mean to me?  Here is the transcript of a speech I delivered several years ago at an event.  I know these are feelings echoed throughout the freedom movement.  I know I am not alone when I feel these emotions. I am one of the members of the Rock River Patriots (RRP) leadership team. I must admit it was a struggle for me to decide if I wanted to be involved with this event because as many of you know I’m not a fan of either party. I became disillusioned with what I saw as I became a conservative activist by people who are supposed to be on “my side”.  I saw how the leadership of the party attempted to control good honest patriots or play political games. It became obvious many in “leadership positions” in…

The Rock River Patriots will be having a meeting this Friday June 12th in Fort Atkinson at the Dwight Foster Library in the Community Room beginning at 6:00pm.  The Dwight Foster Library is located at 209 Merchants Avenue.

The Rock River Patriots will be having a meeting this Friday May 8th in Fort Atkinson at 6:00pm in the Community Room of the Dwight Foster Library.  The Dwight Foster Library is located at 209 Merchants Ave in Fort Atkinson. At this meeting, we welcome Free Market Warrior Loren Spivak to give the first half of his presentation on free markets and economics.  Loren will return again in July to complete this presentation. We hope to see you all there!

Don’t forget to vote tomorrow!  If you have not already done so, look at the candidates.  The WI Supreme Court election is an important one.  Do you want an activist judge or a judicial conservative?  The WI constitutional amendment seeking to allow WI Supreme Court justices to elect their Chief Justice only makes sense and deserves a “yes” vote. Many school board, town, and municipal races are on the ballot.  It is your duty to learn about the candidates.  Do they support Common Core, radical environmentalism, tax increases, or growing government?  If they do, you should be voting for someone else.

We hope everyone had a great time with family and friends celebrating Christ’s crucifixion, burial, and resurrection  this past weekend.  Through this sacrifice, we can truly be free and have a hope that will never fade away. The Rock River Patriots will be having a meeting this Friday April 10th at 6pm in the Community Room at the Dwight Foster Library in Fort Atkinson.  The Dwight Foster Library is located at 209 Merchants Avenue. At this meeting, we will discuss current events and initiatives.  We welcome Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Randy Koschnick to talk about the US Constitution. This will be a very informative meeting.  Hope to see you all there!

Contact your legislators in support the upcoming right to work bill as well as being repeal of the 48 hour waiting period for handgun purchases. Right to work is all about personal freedom. An individual should not have to be forced into joining a union just because of their chosen career field is one dominated by unions.  The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday,  February 24th.  Invited speakers will go first (likely taking up first 2-3 hours) then the public will have the opportunity to testify.  RTW hearing, February 24th, 10:00 am in Room 411 South of the State Capitol  (Senate’s Labor Committee). Senate Bill 35 and Assembly Bill 49 – Repealing the 48 hour waiting period on handgun purchases only makes sense.  A buyer has a background check completed as part of the purchasing process . The other thing to recognize is that the 48 hour waiting period does not apply to long guns. If a person is determined to do harm to someone else using a gun, it is very easy for them to obtain a long  gun without the 48 hour waiting period.  Finally, as we always need to mention, criminals do not obey the law anyway. These measures simply infringe on…
