It should be no surprise to anyone following us that we were one of the groups targeted by the IRS.  Brian Sikma at Media Trackers writes about the story here.  You can see the enemies list here. What is amazing is that virtually no local media has even contacted the RRP for any comment about the story, or even covered the story.  I think this is just another example of the bias we see in the local and national media.  They seek to control the flow of information and content as it suits their agenda.  Take notice at how much coverage you see in local media about some questionable environmental cause.  A handful of people get together to whine about something and the media is there to hype the non-story. The government targeting individual groups because of their political views IS A STORY!  No matter your political affiliation, it should scare you to death…if you have a conscience (I know that excludes many on the left).  This is the kind of thing you see in the 3rd world, not a first world nation like the United States.  Sadly, many will choose to look at the issue of this being about…

THUGS ATTACK: Young Romney Supporter Beaten, Hospitalized The son of a Republican state senator in Wisconsin was brutally attacked and beaten on Friday morning by two thugs attempting to steal his Romney-Ryan yard sign in Whitewater, Wisconsin. We’ll see if the Daily Jefferson County Union actually reports this story.

We recognize this is slightly dated, but still believe there is a need to set the record straight. On June 20, 2012, the Daily Jefferson County Union published an article by Kevin Murphy entitled, “No added prison for Fort man“.  This article reports on a Fort Atkinson man who was on probation for possession of an explosive device and recently charged/convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm. In the article (attached), the Rock River Patriots are mentioned because this individual supposedly attended one of our meetings.  Is this a deliberate attempt to smear the RRP using a classic “guilt by association” tactic?  We think it may be just that. As anyone who attends our meetings can tell you, they are all open to the public.  Many people have come and gone since the group formed several years ago.  We have a core group of regular attendees and many others who attend sporadically.  None of the leaders in the RRP recognize this person.  The RRP were never contacted by the writer of this story for comment either. The article also indicates that the judge told the defendant to avoid groups with “nothing positive to offer” with the implication…

The Rock River Patriots want to thank all of our members who attended our meeting this past Friday. We want to extend our thanks to County Supervisors Craig Peterson and Greg Torres for talking about the county board and how the redistricting plan affects the county.  Thank you to Brian Sikma of Media Trackers for taking time out of his busy schedule to talk about Media Trackers’ goals / mission.  Thank you Steve Kauffeld for telling us about your decision to run for State Assembly.

From Media Trackers: Concealed Carry Legislation A Victory For Tea Party, Patriot Groups By Collin Roth Of all the legislation passed in the last session of the Wisconsin legislature, perhaps no bill showed more the Tea Party impact on Republican legislators than the concealed carry legislation passed Tuesday in the Assembly. For a number of years, Second Amendment conservatives chafed at being one of only two states in the country that do not have some form of concealed carry. And despite two vetoes by Democratic Governor Jim Doyle, a tumultuous legislative session primarily focused on the budget, and the threat of recall elections for six state senators, Tea Party conservatives kept the pressure on to bring concealed carry legislation to a vote in this session. Annette Olson of the pro-2nd Amendment organization Un-infringed Liberty called the passage of concealed carry legislation yesterday a “huge step.” Olson said her organization allied with Tea Party groups from around the state to work with legislators in order to bring concealed carry legislation to a vote before the end of this legislative session. And while Olson and many Tea Party activists were disappointed when the Constitutional Carry Bill proposed by Senator Pam Galloway was…

Once again Liberals are showing they have no shame.  John Adams said,“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”  This statement can be applied to the government in general.  The U.S. Constitution is the fundamental foundational framework in the United States upon which all levels of government originate. When we have those without morals or “godless” people in government making these decisions, is it any wonder we see actions like this?   I am not here to look inside Judge Sumi’s heart to make that determination.  Only God can do that.  However, I can look at her actions and make my determination.  An honest assessment indicates a conflict of interest here. Some may say calling Liberals “godless” is inflammatory and wrong.  Sometimes the truth itself is inflammatory, but it still needs to be spoken.  Indeed, Liberals may not be “godless”.  Their god is the State and/or themselves.  The natural progression from this worldview is collectivism and moral relativism.  Their standard operating procedures are “anything goes” or “by any means necessary”.  This is far from the view held by the Founders of our Constitutional Republic, which was based on…
