Dear Wisconsin Patroit, The Wisconsin State Assembly leaders are dragging their feet regarding election reform because they are waiting for comprehensive legislation to be written. Other reforms are certainly necessary, but they cannot implement everything in time for the state Supreme Court election in April; so they should pass the first bill which includes photo ID by then.  Comprehensive reform can be passed in two stages.  The Senate did their part by conducting a public hearing last week.  Now we need the Assembly to do the same.  They should hear from everybody and their brothers tomorrow. So leaders, please pass the massage to your mailing lists. For leaders and everyone else, please make three calls: Call your Assembly Representative Call Committee Chairman, Rep. Gary Tauchen -1-608-266-3097 Call Assembly Leader, Rep.

When you are called a “liberal” or some other pejorative names, ask them this question: If we are so concerned about terrorism, why haven’t we secured our borders? It’s been over 10 yrs since 9/11 and we still do not know who is coming in to our country.

Jesse Ventura Sues TSA In Pat-Down Smackdown No matter what you think of Jesse Ventura, he is doing us all a service here.  Does anyone think the “Porn and Grope” routine is not violating our 4th Amendment rights?  And is this routine even effective?  The government even admits that on secret “tests” TSA agents missed guns and bombs.
