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

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…

Below is a letter from one of our members to State Senator Mary Lazich regarding Constitutional Carry: Senator Lazich, Wisconsin presents a principled united front expecting a smaller government/freedom minded approach to the right to carry firearms as our founding fathers derived our freedoms as inalienable rights not given to us by man or government, but by God. You can open-carry right now in Wisconsin for free, with no permit & no government registration. You shouldn’t have to register with the government and pay a permit tax if you want to have your coat/shirt over your sidearm. The criminals don’t abide by open carry laws now as they prey on unsuspecting victims. Both my wife and I have a combined 29-years experience in the military and thousands of hours of firearms training. We are both veterans of several military conflicts and truly attest to the value of firearms without government restrictions. Statistically speaking, cars kill more people than guns annually. Why subject us or honest law abiding citizens to overbearing rules when our 2nd amendment to the constitution already grants us these rights. Because of Jim Doyle’s distrust of the people, he twice vetoed Right to Carry legislation during his…

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

Why This Gigantic “Intelligence” Apparatus? This story from the Ludwig Von Mises Institute provides good commentary on the out of control Federal Government trying to “protect” us.  We linked the original stories in the Washington Post by Dana Priest and William M. Arkin about “Top Secret America” on this website when they came out. Robert Higgs, the author of this commentary, in closing writes: What we see here is not really an “intelligence” or counterterrorism operation at all. It’s a rip-off, plain and simple, fed by irrational fear and continually stoked by the government plunderers who are exercising the power and raking in the booty to “fight terrorism.” He is right on many points.  What finally changed my whole perspective on virtually everything involved with “the war on terror” was one simple fact.  We still have not totally secured our borders over 10 years after 9/11, but we can go to other countries and secure and defend theirs.

The Rock River Patriots will be having a meeting Friday December 10th in Jefferson at 6:00pm in the conference room at Kendall Packaging.  Kendall Packaging is located at 707 N. Parkway Street. This will be our only meeting in December, so you don’t want to miss it.  At this meeting will discuss current issues / events and we will welcome back two very knowledgeable friends to teach us how to be effective “citizen lobbyists.” Hope to see you all there!
