ROCK RIVER PATRIOTS

Below is the letter I sent out to Milwaukee talk radio show host Mark Belling regarding his comments on his show about our group.  I will attempt to post the audio soon. Mark stated the we ” trying to speak for the whole movement”  and “are running around trying to endorse candidates and pass judgement”.  I am not certain where this is coming from.  I can only speculate we have angered some in the Republican Party establishment with our Ron Johnson vetting session.  Shortly after the video was posted, I started hearing the same type of rhetoric.  Again, this is only speculation. I will say the same thing again.  We will not “carry water” for anyone.  It is the job of the people to ask tough questions of candidates no matter who they are or what endorsements they have. Here is the letter: Mark, In Hour 2 Part 1 of your show today (07/14/10), you completely LIED about about our position regarding the endorsement of candidates. We have repeatedly stated that we DO NOT endorse candidates because the Tea Party is about an ideology, not a particular person. Long before your rant today, we were quoted in the Wisconsin State Journal where…

If you haven’t signed the petition to the MATC District Board regarding their recent Arizona Boycott Resolution, go to www.weresorryarizona.com. Grothman Thanks Ozaukee County Board for Their Resolution Apologizing to the People of Arizona for the Actions of MATC Today Senator Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) announced that 23 legislators signed a joint letter asking the Milwaukee Area Technical College Board to rescind their decision to boycott Arizona. “I was pleasantly surprised that in the middle of an election season when most legislators are not in Madison, so many of my colleagues took the time to make it clear that they want the MATC Board to remove the black eye they have given to the State of Wisconsin,” said Grothman. “The idea that MATC would rather purchase products made in China, Mexico, or other foreign countries than products made by fellow Americans is shocking beyond belief.” Grothman also took time to thank the Ozaukee County Board for their overwhelming vote in sending the message to the people of Arizona that the unelected members of the MATC Board do not represent the opinions of their county. “Representing Ozaukee County, I can assure the people of Arizona that their residents wish nothing but…

Here is a new article by Lisa Kaiser from the Sheperd Express on TEA Party movement in Wisconsin. Will Wisconsin Join the Tea Party One issue that many of the analysts seem to miss is that more people have a favorable opinion of the TEA Party / Patriot Movement than either political party.  I believe this is because each of the TEA Party / Patriot Groups take an unwavering stand for their beliefs and are not afraid to defend them.  People are tired of the same old wishy-washy politicians who take a soft position on an issue so they can essentially flip-flop without getting labeled a “flip-flopper” or politicians who say anything to get elected.  We want principled leaders who take a stand and follow the Constitution.  Being a leader means stepping out in front of the crowd and “blazing the trail” guided by the Constitution and principles, not organizing a focus group to determine what those principles need to be! If we remain steadfast to our principles and educate others along the way, we will have a significant impact on our country.  If we compromise our principles “to get along” or “be liked by the media”, then we will…
