On October 7th, the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Corrections, Insurance, Campaign Finance Reform, and Housing voted to increase the liquor tax to fund the reforms in the new drunk driving bill. So the responsible taxpaying public will be paying another tax to fund a deficient bill and its “reforms”? Why aren’t the drunk drivers the ones to pay for these reforms by increased fines? The Assembly unanimously passed AB283, Wisconsin’s new drunk driving law on September 17th. This law gives legislators the ability to look tough on the issue of drunk driving, but how tough is it really? None of them would dare to vote “NO” on this legislation because their opponent would use it to say they are soft on drunk driving. How is any of the proposed legislation really going to prevent people from driving drunk? Repeat offenders by their very nature do not obey the law. Most will not get an ignition interlock device, or they will simply use a different car. What will happen to the drunk drivers who don’t comply with these rules? Their license will be revoked? Why would that stop them from driving? Endangering the lives and safety of the general public is…
Call Your State Legislator In Opposition Of AB458 & SB324
I encourage you all to call your state legislator in opposition of AB458 and SB324, the Planned Parenthood Sex Education Bill. Here is a link about the public hearing that took place today on this matter: AB458 & SB324 Public Hearing. The first question we all need to ask ourselves is: Why is Planned Parenthood getting taxpayer money at all? While abortion may be legal based on the decision in Roe vs. Wade, it is still very controversial. Notwithstanding where the right to an abortion is listed in the Constitution and its Amendments, recent polling indicates an almost even split of people being PRO-LIFE vs. PRO-CHOICE. Here is the link: More Americans “Pro-Life” than “Pro-Choice”. So why should half of the public support with their tax dollars beliefs they are opposed to? An even more fundamental question is why the government is giving away so many grants (our tax dollars) in the first place? A case can be made to fund some scientific research, but that is where the line should be drawn. However that is a debate for another day. There is the argument that the taxpayer dollars Planned Parenthood receives does not go to fund abortion. The money…

Tammy Baldwin Heard From The Angry Mob!
On Saturday September 26th, Rep. Tammy Baldwin held two town hall meetings in Beloit and Lake Mills. The estimated attendance at Beloit was about 50 people and at Lake Mills about 80 people. Many of the Rock River Patriots attended the Lake Mills town hall, as did many other concerned citizens. I was at the Lake Mills town hall from about 1:30 – 3:30pm with many other Patriots. I left while the meeting was still going. While at the town hall, out of all those who spoke, I heard only two people that were for government run health care. Everyone else was against it. Many spoke about the lack of transparency in this administration, voiced their disgust about Rep. Baldwin’s vote against the bill to de-fund ACORN, spoke about how bad the Cap and Trade (Tax) bill would be for Wisconsin, and spoke out against Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants. Much of the town hall meeting and the comments were video taped. Above are some videos of the Angry Mob! This is what Kirsten Lombard from the Wisconsin 9/12 Project wrote about attending the Lake Mills meeting: Tammy had a few supporters there. But most of the folks there were much…

Barak Obama – The Neville Chamberlain of Our Time?
Neville Chamberlain was the appeasing Prime Minister of the UK from 1937 to 1940. Chamberlain appeased Hitler with the Munich Agreement in 1938, conceding Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland, an area of immense strategic importance, to the Nazis. The ink was barley dry on the agreement before Hitler broke it and continued with his ambitions. On September 24, 2009 Obama will preside over a session of the UN Security Counsel. Obama set the agenda, and took off the table a discussion about Iran’s pursuit of a nuclear bomb. Is that not appeasement when the discussion is supposed to be about nuclear non-proliferation? We all know the UN is a corrupt organization that is loaded with despots from all over the world. We also know the UN is a group that does nothing more than talk “tough” and pass meaningless resolutions. Now with President Obama, even the “tough talk” is gone. That leads us to the ultimate question. If even the “talking tough” game is gone for the UN, what is there really left for them to do?
