The Dangers of vouchers…Trump’s voucher plan. Below is a link to a 38 minute podcast on vouchers and their danger by KrisAnne Hall, lawyer and Constitutional advocate. There is a full all out push coming and it will be led by DeVos.  If successful it will accomplish putting parents under control of federal gov. This will increase money spent by the feds on education from $540,000,000 to $130 billion ($20B from the feds and $110B from the states) if the Trump plan is implemented.  This will be a mechanism of control of all parents/children under the poverty level if they sign on to new voucher programs. If they take the money, they will have to take the mandates of national curriculum and national methodology.   https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/krisanne-hall/episodes/2016-11-29T07_29_17-08_00 #StopDeVos #Trump #StopCommnonCore #WakeUpAmerica #KellyanneConway #TCOT #CCOT #CommonCore

If you have not been paying attention, Milwaukee has had a violent weekend with 9 shootings, 5 homicides, and one Officer Involved Shooting (OIS) on an armed man.  In response to the OIS shooting, cars and businesses were torched.  White people were targeted for “beat downs” by Black Lives Matter (BLM) rioters.  Even the media was targeted who were simply trying to cover the story.  The firefighters were forced to withdraw for their own safety because the loser rioters were throwing rocks and bricks at them.   Chants of “Black Power” can be heard in the video below. Video: ‘Black Lives Matter’ Rioters Target Whites For Beat Downs  Milwaukee Crowd Turns Violent After Police Fatally Shoot Armed Man BTW…Thank you Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party for creating and fomenting the hatred we see here.  BLM once again proves they are nothing but a bunch of street thug agitators. This violence came after just a day or two after Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and Police Chief Ed Flynn continued with their usual whining about stopping the violence.  They continue to preach that the violence is all because of their being so many guns on the streets and the need…

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…

From: http://dcgazette.com/new-terrorist-training-camps-revealed-inside-united-states/ New Terrorist Training Camps Revealed Inside The United States The terror group goes by the name of the Muslims of the Americas/Jamaat ul-Fuqra (MOA). They made the mistake of suing two of their critics, Martin Mawyer and Patti Peirucci, for statements made in their book about the MOA titled, “Twilight in America.” Although the judge dismissed the lawsuit as baseless last week, some interesting information came out depositions conducted as part of the proceedings. The depositions revealed that MOA has a previously unknown property outside of Anchorage, Alaska. They also confirmed the existence of an additional New York property, as well as California and Michigan locations. READ MORE

Here is the press release from Gov. Walker’s office.  Gov. Walker: Signs Green Tier executive order 5/23/2012 Contact: Cullen Werwie, 608-267-7303 Madison–Today Governor Walker signed Executive Order 69 which directs the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to enhance its already existing Green Tier program to meet both environmental and economic development goals. Green Tier is a voluntary program that recognizes and rewards environmental performance that exceeds legal requirements resulting in continuous improvement in Wisconsin’s environment, economy, and quality of life. Since its inception in 2004, the Green Tier program has been providing real benefits to businesses by allowing the Department the regulatory flexibility for companies to pursue creative ways to enhance productivity and profitability. “This program has produced enhanced, voluntary collaboration with businesses to yield environmental and economic gains aligned with their business plan as opposed to prescribing inefficient and burdensome actions that impede a productive business model,” said Governor Scott Walker. “The next step is to increase program participation.” Due to the high degree of expertise needed in order to comply with the program’s requirements, not all businesses are able to take advantage of its unique offerings. Following EO #69, DNR will increase access to the program by providing…

Wisconsin Tea Party Leaders React to Mining Debacle

TIME TO PUT THE PRESSURE ON!!! BURN UP THE PHONE LINES – PLEASE SHARE: There is IMPORTANT BUSINESS that they’re going to leave unfinished unless we insist that they do their jobs. Please pick up the phone TODAY, call your STATE SENATOR AND YOUR STATE ASSEMBLY REP. Tell them that you expect them to do their jobs and get some important legislation passed before they end session. Issue #1: THE MINING BILL – NO CHANGES The conservative members of the Senate Republican Caucus are disgusted with what’s going on surrounding AB 426. They don’t want ANY of the changes proposed by Senator Kedzie. They’ve introduced a twin to AB 426 that’s currently assigned LRB #4045. Call your senator and INSIST that this bill gets passed IMMEDIATELY! And keep the pressure on Kedzie and Schultz. Issue #2: RAW MILK (SB 108) Here’s another one where you can give Senator Schultz a piece of your mind. This bill, introduced by Senator Glenn Grothman, would restore important FOOD FREEDOMS to Wisconsinites, has been sitting in Senator Schultz’s committee for 6 MONTHS. Now he’s letting the bill’s worst enemy, the Wisconsin Dairy Association, tinker with it. You can bet the bill won’t be worth…
