From Chuck Baldwin Live As we enter another Independence Day weekend, I think it would be good to remind ourselves of who those men were that counted the cost and paid the price to bring this land of liberty into existence. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans today seem to have very little–if any–knowledge and appreciation for the sacrifices that our Founding Fathers made in order to birth this great country. We can thank the vast majority of our schools (including the institutions of higher learning), major media, political institutions, and even churches for this egregious embarrassment. Accordingly, I think it fitting that today’s column will attempt to renew in our hearts the respect and reverence that these great men whom we call Founding Fathers so richly deserve. George Washington Called “The Father of His Country,” George Washington was, perhaps, the most important man of the founding era. Supernaturally spared during the Indian wars, Washington became the military leader who held the Continental Army together when it was virtually impossible for any man to do so. Without his leadership at Valley Forge and elsewhere, there is absolutely no doubt that the Continental Army would have fallen apart and the fight…

We said it would happen…and it has.  While I’m not surprised, it is very concerning that this is coming from someone on the right. From The American Dream: Are you against raising the debt ceiling? If so, according to former Bush Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill you are actually part of Al-Qaeda. Yes, seriously. During an interview on Bloomberg TV the other day, O’Neill actually made the following statement: “The people who are threatening not to pass the debt ceiling are our version of Al-Qaeda terrorists. Really. They’re really putting our whole society at risk by threatening to round up 50 percent of the members of the Congress, who are looney, who would put our credit at risk.”

The link is listed below.  The union intimidation not only occurred up north, but also in the Racine-Kenosha area for those involved in the recall efforts of senator Bob Wirch.  This is shameful, but again shows the lengths the left will go to get what they want.  They continue to claim how dangerous gun owners and proponents of the 2nd Amendement are, yet they are the first ones who resort to violence.  They are the first ones to call for “taking it to the streets.” The law enforcement who stood by and let this happen should be ashamed!  Thugs Destroy Recall Petitions

Sorry, not the best video work…Some of the teachers are proud to admit they called in sick to protest.  They are proud to admit they shut down their district.  Some districts even colluded with the teachers unions to facilitate their districts teachers participation in the protest as two teachers admit in the video.  It is wrong for the teachers to use their students as they have, and the sick-outs are even against the law.  It sends a terrible message to students. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF3xVyb4iyE] If you want to find out how many teachers in your district called in sick, submit an open records request to the district and see.  Remember this in April when referendum time comes along.  School District Open Records Request Here is the link to see what teachers in your district make: Search Wisconsin Teacher Salaries

Patriots showed up in Whitewater to support Rep. Evan Wynn in Whitewater.  The call went out late yesterday when we learned that AFL-CIO unions were going to protest in front of Rep. Wynn’s home in an attempt to intimidate.  Thanks to all the patriots who got up very early and helped support Evan and his family. Below is a picture of the Unionists that showed up.  Unlike the papers reported, there were only 11 people.  Here are the links: Whitewater assemblyman supports bill Tea Party, union members square off outside Rep. Wynn’s home

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. Jeff Fitzgerald -1-608-266-2540 The message:  Schedule an assembly hearing ASAP in February on whatever election reform they think they can pass in time for the April 5th election for the following reasons(please state all three as we need a consistent message): 1. Without photo ID this April, the other side will be able to distort the State Supreme Court race with fewer fraudulent votes because of the low turnout. 2. The clerks and voting…

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…

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
