The Rock River Patriots will be having a meeting this Friday December 9th at 6pm in Fort Atkinson at the Dwight Foster Library in Fort Atkinson.  The Dwight Foster Library is located at 209 Merchants Avenue. At this meeting, we will have our “year in review” discussing some of our accomplishments this year.  We also welcome State Senator Frank Lasee to talk about his candidacy for U.S. Senate.  This will be the last meeting of they year, and should not to be missed. Hope to see you all there!

Senator Frank Lasee Press Release – Release Obamacare Funds We have said repeatedly that government “insurance exchanges” are a bad idea.  It IS government run healthcare, just at a different level.  They do nothing to fix the healthcare problems we face.  Instead, they just add another layer of bureaucracy. The best thing government can do is to repeal all the coverage mandates so consumers can tailor an insurance product that fits their individual situation.  Only consumer driven, market based approaches can solve the insurance problem.

After a public hearing and full evaluation of the bill, I have decided to let AB 210 die in my committee. A great deal of noise will almost certainly be made about this decision. I want to provide Wisconsinites and everyone else watching this issue with the facts so that they can understand my reasons for killing this dangerous bill. What would AB 210 achieve? AB 210 would bring…
