Wisconsin is doing well
In other news Wisconsin saves money
So I have not blogged in a long time due to just being worn out. So a lot has happened in my short time away. Obama continues to drive this county into the ground, Israel hates us even more, Iran appears to be acting like the spoiled brats they are, and Ohio doesn’t seem to understand that collective bargaining saves taxpayer money. And then you have the Wall street crazies, don’t even get my started on them(more to come in a later post).
However………………………………………………………
Here in Wisconsin we have a lot to be thankful for. We have guns and can use them. Oh ok ok that is a little extreme but for the libs reading this sit down I was only kidding. Don’t go searching for jobs and places to live in IL, one of the last if not last state in the union to not go with the concealed carry laws. Now in Wisconsin we can exercise our rights to bear arms. You see, our previous governor vetoed 7 bills that came to his desk to permit the concealed carry law to go into effect. With our new law one change has come out of this law already. The NRA cried and complained about the timeframe of training needed for the permit. Republicans and conservatives do not see eye to eye on this on this issue. I for one disagree with this move. I agree with having the four hour training to obtain the permit. I think it is a good middle ground to those who do not want CC at all! Also I am sure no one wants someone like me running around with a gun without some proper training. (just ask my brothers)
Next we have collective bargaining. Which you can see saves taxpayer dollars. Below you can see area by area of all the savings. Scott Walker actually SAVED teacher jobs. I was listening to an interview, and one misconception that I would like to point out is NO teachers lost jobs under the new collective bargaining. Teachers who lost their job after the date it went into effect already were going based on their contract and had nothing to do with collective bargaining. Now let’s not forget that if we did not pass this legislation then we would have had to lay off several government employees. So what are the teachers so up in arms about? Well I have a job, and in my job I pay for part of my health care costs and I pay into my 401K, teachers, up till now, did not have to pay a dime. Not a nickel. Not a penny. Why are they so different than all the other working people? And next the actual collective bargaining itself, which most states do not have any longer. I don’t hear them crying and complaining. Here is another point to mention federal employees do not even have collective bargaining. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. GET OVER IT, this was a necessary move for Wisconsin, and is working.
Here is the bottom line Scott Walker is good for Wisconsin, no I take that back he is GREAT!
So I say to the recall people: “why?”
Keep going Walker

Madison— Since Governor Walker signed the 2011‐13 state budget into law over one month ago, tangible results from the reforms put in place by Governor Walker and the Legislature are continuing to
be realized. According to media reports, local units of government and school districts have already
saved more than $220 million, with millions more in potential savings not yet reported.
Below is an updated list of local units of governments being able to balance their budget and improve
services due to the reforms contained in the 2011‐13 state budget and Act 10:
City of Milwaukee
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Despite early criticism from city officials, new figures show Milwaukee will gain more than it will lose
next year from the state’s controversial budget and budget‐repair legislation.
The city projects it will save at least $25 million a year ‐ and potentially as much as $36 million in 2012 ‐
from health care benefit changes it didn’t have to negotiate with unions, as a result of provisions in the
2009‐’11 budget‐repair measure that ended most collective bargaining for most public employees.
That saving would be partly offset by about $14 million in cuts in state aid to the city in the 2011‐’13
state budget. The figure is down from earlier estimates of more than $17 million, after the Legislature
scaled back Gov. Scott Walker’s proposed cuts in aid for local streets and recycling. Reference.
Hudson School District
Health Partners and Delta Dental will provide the insurance to Hudson School District employees
beginning Oct. 1. The change will save the district an estimated $1.1‐1.2 million annually.
Germantown School District
Germantown had gone to several major carriers to receive quotes, but only two companies bid: Humana
and Wisconsin Educators Association Trust, the district’s current carrier.
In doing so, the district received two bids from each carrier, one saving the district $750,000 and
another saving $1 million. Business Director Rick Ericksen advised that the most prudent course of
action would be to remain with WEA Trust, which would still save the district the desired $1 million and
a more seamless transition given the time frame.
Ashland School District
A health insurance provider switch saved Ashland School District nearly $378,000.
Kimberly School District
The district saved $821,000 by dropping WEA Trust.
Edgerton School District
The district will drop the union’s current health insurance carrier, the WEA Trust. The district is gathering
bids to change to a different health insurance provider, which Pauli said could save at least $500,000
over the next year.
Baraboo School District
The Baraboo School Board expects to save about $660,000 next year after deciding to change insurance
providers Monday evening.
Dodgeland School District
The Dodgeland School Board made the decision to change insurance companies.
Administrator Annette Thompson said the change will help the board deal with the expected $640,000
budget deficit from reduced state aid and expiration of some federal and AARA funds. The change in
providers is expected to save the district $260,000 next year.
Elmbrook School District
The district originally had planned for $780,000 in savings through the health‐care changes, but
Brightman said the actual savings are estimated at $878,000. He said some of that money likely will be
needed to pay for staffing ‐ probably a half‐time equivalent clerical position ‐ to administer the new
plan.
Mequon‐Thiensville School District
Delta Dental’s quotes also came in lower than those provided by WEA Trust. Beaudry said the district
will save $49,000 in the 2011‐12 budget cycle by switching to Delta Dental.
Marshfield School District
Marshfield will balance its budget despite the cuts. “Given the cost savings with health insurance and
the turnover with staff and new hires, we will be able to preserve our programs and come up with a
balanced budget,” said Peg Geegan, the district’s director of instruction who will assume the
superintendent’s position Aug. 1. The district will save $850,000 by switching health insurance
carriers…
Fond du Lac School District
District leaders believe when school starts in the fall they’ll be operating with a balanced budget. They
say the savings under the bill will offset their 4.4 million dollar budget shortfall. Class sizes and programs
will also remain in tact.
Changes to the health insurance plan that offered a $7,000 stipend to employees who did not take
health insurance will save the district around $236,000, Sebert said. If both spouses are employed by the
district, the employees are eligible for two single plans or one family plan.
City of Sheboygan and Sheboygan County
City of Sheboygan Mayor Bob Ryan and Sheboygan County Administrator Adam Payne said the collective
bargaining reforms will provide enough savings to make up for the reductions in state aid. “We were
able to lock in savings and certainty due to the discussions going on in Madison,” Payne said.
Wauwatosa School District
The tax levy is projected to decrease, no programs will be cut, and class sizes won’t increase by any
significant measure. School board member Phil Kroner: “When students come to school in the fall,
they’re going to see the same things, have the same teachers, and they’re going to see new things as
well.
Manitowoc
Laid‐off city workers may get their jobs back after the city moves forward with the wage and benefit
reforms contained in the budget. And Overtime rules have changed saving the county
$100,000.
Pittsville
They will see up to a 9% decrease in the school portion of their property tax levy. “It will be wonderful
for our taxpayers, who have been extremely committed to our schools,” School Board President Julie
Strenn said, noting three years ago, voters approved a three‐year revenue cap override that cost
taxpayers an additional $175,000 each year… “This is the first year we have not needed to short‐term
borrow.”
Neenah
Paul Hauffe, director of business services said, “administrators are poised to introduce a balanced
budget in mid‐July… We’re very close right now, there’s nothing monumental that we have to
overcome.”
Appleton Area School District
They will save $3.1 million just in health insurance costs alone due to competition among health
insurance providers. Financial advisors for the school district said:
∙ Discussions at the state level over collective bargaining and budgeting issues have been beneficial
to school districts from the rate perspective.
∙ It forced a lot of competition. I do think the landscape in the school marketplace has changed
significantly over the last year that’s put significant pressure on WEA Trust. Previously to this year, they
didn’t have a lot of competition. Historically, it’s very difficult for other carriers to match them.
∙ The $3.1 million in savings for next school year is just in health insurance premium costs.
Racine County
Inmates can do routine maintenance tasks so that county employees can spend more time working on
projects that improve the community. County Executive Jim Ladwig said inmates will be able to perform
more tasks such as landscaping, painting, and shoveling sidewalks in the winter. “We have a win‐win
when we use the inmates,” Ladwig said. “It gives them a sense of value they are helping the
community.” At the same time, he said it will help the county maintain property that has been
neglected.
Kaukauna School District
They will hire additional teachers, reduce projected class sizes from 26 to 23 students at the elementary
level, 28 students to 26 students at the intermediate/middle level, and 31 students to 25 students at the
high school level and set aside money for merit bonuses for good teachers. “Due to the law change the
District’s projected operating budget has moved from a negative $400,000 to approximately a positive
$1,500,000. Earmarked in the operating budget are $300,000 related to merit pay, a program being
explored for all staff by the district for the 2011‐2012 school year.”
WCA Group Health Trust, an affiliate of the Wisconsin Counties Association, Madison, will become the
school district’s sole provider of health insurance while Delta Dental will assume the dental coverage.
“The district will be able to provide nearly the exact same coverage to its staff members at a cost that is
8 percent less than it would have paid through the previous carrier,” Todd Arnoldussen, president of the
school board, said in a statement.
Hartland‐Lakeside School Board
They switched insurance providers and saved taxpayers $690,000.
Feingold really?
Russ Feingold latest ad is such a complete lie. I am ashamed to call him my current Senator. He says that when he was elected he promised to shoot from the hip, be independent, and fight for Wisconsin. Hmm something is a bit fishy here and it is not Lake Michigan.
Russ boy you are anything but independent you vote with the democrats for times than Lindsey Lohan has……welll I am a lady and can not discuss such matters, but needless to say it is a lot.
Russ buddy raising taxes and increasing spending is NOT fighting for Wisconsin. Helllllloooo Russ? Can you hear me, no I guess not, so therefore I will be voting for Ron Johnson.
Ron Johnson not a career politician
As stated below I have noted that Russ Feingold is the worst type of career politicians. He is so far away from his constituents that he may never get his loyalty back. Firm democrats have shown that they are now supporting Ron Johnson. Ron Johnson is the real deal. I love this tem is it so loaded with cause and effect.
Ron Johnson understand that in time of great financial distress you do not raise taxes. As a business owner he understand that spending is not they answer it is the problem. He understands that the constitution is something to follow and not something to use at will when ever you feel like it. He is not a politician and that is more of a reason to vote for Ron Johnson. He will get it done in Washington and not stray very far from his home state. Wisconsin means a lot to him and he is listening as he is on the campaign trail. He sees the problems from the citizens of Wisconsin and will work to fix them. And lastly he is pro life and pro traditional marriage, and for some of us that is one of the most important issues their are.
Russ baby it is time to go pack your bags!
“Career Politicians”
So lately we have heard a lot of this term “Career Politicians”. Both Republicans and Democrats use this term. This is the new hot phase of the day. Just like the term “Good Luck with that”. Lets take a look at what term means and who really are the career politicians.
Wiki has the definition as: A politician who makes politics the source of their income, yet has to face re-election every few years can be less likely to make bold decisions or side with an unpopular bill. Some feel that fear of “rocking the boat” leads to a stagnant political climate, in which it becomes hard to address injustices and create change. Various measures have been taken in attempt to mitigate this effect, such as the implementation of term limits and paying them less.
Ok I can buy into that for the most part. However there are some politicians who make very bold votes to go along with the president and the cronies in the White House currently. Example of this was the Health Care Bill otherwise known as ObamaCare. And as one in the insurance industry; it is no reform it is a disaster and we have only see the first wave of aches and pains from it. So even though more than 60% of American disagreed with the bill we have several politicians who voted for it because “the president wanted them to”. So the opposite was true in this case however because a lot of them gavein to the pressure of “Nanc” and “Harry” I feel they are the true career politicians. People like Russ Feingold, Tammy Baldwin, Shuler, Wexman,McDermott,Kagen. They all cared more about what the president thought then what there constituents wanted. This is truely sad.
The same can be true for Cap and tax bill. Even though again most Americans do not want this bill because it will create higher taxes and higher energy bills they don’t care. They would rather throw there support behind a false claim of global warming. Don’t know about you but I froze my butt off last year. This is not time for a bill such as this.
So here is a short list of career politicians: On a federal level
Nancy Pelosi, Russ Feingold, Tammy Baldwin, Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, Chuck Schumer, Barabra Boxer,Chris Van Hollen,James Clyburn
In Wisconsin
Vote for people like Ron Johnson, Chad Lee, Dan Sebring, Reid Ribble
Rebecca Kleefisch for Lt Gov of Wisconsin
Rebecca Kleefisch is the candidate to get Wisconsin back on track. Wisconsin is in dire straits and when Scott Walker becomes Gov, he is going to need a lot of help getting Wisconsin on the right track. After Walker repeals tax increases, combined reporting, regulation who I ask, is going to get the businesses back to Wisconsin?
Rebecca that is who. Having sat down with her and talking about this, it is clear that she has big ideas and even bigger plans on how to get it done. Her marketing background will be crucial to this. Her investigating background shows her drive and passion and one thing I have learned with getting to know her she doesn’t do anything half way. You want business back in Wisconsin well Rebecca is your LT Gov.
Rebecca brings to the table political experience but not a career politican. Her love of this state and the citizens in it are clear when you meet her. She will fight for jobs and make Wisconsin open for business again. As you know Wake Up America is prolife and Rebecca is clear the candidate for that stance.
Rebecca doesn’t just want the job she wants the oppurtunity to work with the new Republican Gov to make Wisconsin great again.
Go Scott Waker
and
Go Rebecca Kleefisch
GO Scott Walker
Scott Walker is the real candidate for governor for our great state of Wisconsin. We can trust Scott to lead our state in the right direction. Scott has a proven record for holding the line on taxes and cutting spending. When you meet Scott you can tell that Scott is ther most sincere candidate and will fix our state.
Wake up America endorses Scott Walker
“Politics”
So here we are in another election year. And the races are heating up. Across the nation you have Republicans all over the nation fighting the current status quo. They are standing up to an administration and saying no more. And this current administration has only been in power less than two years. Not a good situation from where Obama is sitting right now is it? Since elected Obama has spent more money than George Washington to George Bush COMBINED! Man that is talent! I don’t even think Paris Hilton could do that! Polls are showing that this is going to be a good year for Republicans. Congress, US Senate, Gov, and states races across the nation are in full gear and ready to take back America. And they will do it, why cause America is fed up. It is amazing how the change has occurred with support. Now I have been a Republican my whole life and watched with horror people across the nation jumping on the “hope and change bandwagon” . On this very blog you can go back and it was warned that Obama would be exactly what he is today. We Republicans are not just a bunch of “no’s” rich, Christian zealots, war mongers(this list is pretty long). We stand up for freedom in all aspects of life, lower taxes less government, and national security. I am sick of people saying well all politicians are the same. Or Republicans do the same thing. What you need to really be doing is holding your Republicans accountable. I don’t think the citizens in Paul Ryan district need to do that much. So no not all Republicans are the same. Hold to the Platform! If your Republican is not doing what is right VOTE THEM OUT! Dah! Keep an eye on them, don’t let them go astray!
WIN 2010
Neumann is he with or against the Republicans
Ever notice that Mark never says he is a Republican in his ads? Hmm he just says he is a conservative. Interesting because the ad that Scott Walker put out which was a genius move about his vote for pork barrel spending kinda has a different view.
His vote to join Nancy Pelosi in supporting one of the largest transportation bills in history. He voted against our beloved Jim Sensenbrenner. Hmmm do really want a governor who is not with one of the most conservative representatives in the nation?
Having ObamaCare and Eating it to.
Last Friday, in Lake Mills, low-paying, substandard job provider Chad Lee said he was misquoted by some people (I think that is me), so here we have it.
I said that he would not vote to repeal Obamacare. Here is what he said (with the audio link you will find it 29 minutes into the recording):
Brian Schimming: “Chad Lee, a lot of discussion over the repeal of the new law (Obamacare). Would you vote to repeal the law in whole or part?”
Chad Lee: “Well, right now repealing it (Obamacare) is not an option because if it gets to the president he’s not going to sign it. And so what we need to do is figure out other ways of fixing it. I’ve been denied health coverage before. We were talking before the show about the hip surgery I had a few months back and it’s been very difficult for me to get health care… or health insurance coverage, so I’ve had a unique experience with that. But there are some things in that bill I think are wrong. First off I think the individual mandate thing is completely wrong, we need to get rid of that. Some states have already fighting it. Second thing is we need to address tort reform and the third thing is we need allow people to shop across state lines. With any industry, competition breeds excellence. I mean, all of us in here probably have cell phones. Hopefully on silent (forced laughter). But because of that, because there’s multiple companies, they are competing for the best price, the best coverage, and it breeds excellence. Again, if we’re allowed to increase the competition, by virtue of that competition, we’ll have better options, we’ll have lower costs, and we’ll have better options across the board.”
Very clearly, he does not say he would vote to repeal it and my quote is in context. Lee does rattle off a few things that we need to do, but we cannot accomplish these things without repealing Obamacare. If he thinks the president won’t sign onto a repeal bill, what makes him think the president will sign onto all of these ideas he has clearly rejected in the new bill? Why can’t he stand up for what is right??????
Plus – doesn’t it sound like he needs health insurance? I guess his company doesn’t offer it.
I think he has a bigger problem. He wants his Obamacare and he wants to eat it to (like eating his cake). He told the Jefferson County Republicans, the Rock River Patriots, and the WI Family Council, that he would repeal Obamacare, but he never retracted his earlier statement. He only said he was misquoted – which clearly we can see he was not.
In the same week, he told a Madison (mostly liberal) radio audience he would not repeal Obamacare and then told a conservative audience (not being covered by the Madison media) that he would repeal Obamacare.
Sounds a little like Russ Feingold. Say whatever you want to appeal to anybody. I think Chad Lee needs to pick one position and publicly retract the other, via a press release, so everyone knows clearly where he stands.

Videoconference abortions in Wisconsin ? Iowa is the only state in the U.S. to provide abortions through videoconferencing, a process whereby a woman consults with a doctor on a video camera, and at the end of the “appointment,” out pops abortion-causing drugs from a drawer in front of her. A recent New York Times article revealed that abortion providers across the country are asking how they can replicate this method. Currently, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin [PPWI] dispenses birth control, which can act as an abortifacient, via teleconferencing. Video phones, which are the size of a laptop computer, are at 10 Planned Parenthood locations, chosen because they are the organization’s Title X clinics and receive funding from the federal government. Federal tax dollars financed the setup of PPWI’s teleconferencing system, reports the Milwaukee Business Journal. “PPWI has the videoconference infrastructure in place to dispense hormonal birth control, including the morning after pill, which can cause pre-implantation chemical abortions,” said Virginia Zignego, communications director. “There doesn’t appear to be anything in Wisconsin law or code that would hold them back from using videoconferencing to dispense mifepristone, the medicine formerly known as RU-486, which is designed to cause post-implantation chemical abortions.” The Food and Drug Administration released public documents to Concerned Women of America listing over 600 adverse effects of women taking this drug. These included 220 cases of hemorrhage that were either life-threatening or extremely serious, 71 of which required blood transfusions. Women taking mifepristone typically bleed for one to two weeks, with 10% bleeding for more than one month. The average woman loses four times the amount of blood from a standard surgical abortion. “Mifepristone is a toxic substance hazardous to women’s health,” said Zignego. “Several deaths have been attributed to mifepristone. Its prescription and use ought to be highly restricted, if not banned.” |
My opinion of Mark Neumann and his campaign
I have had it! Mark Neumann is a lier and needs to stop
From the Walker Campaign
Today, Mark Neumann released his second attack ad against Scott. Neumann even held press conferences across Wisconsin where he outright lied about Scott’s strong support for the Second Amendment!
Scott is an avid hunter and supporter of the Second Amendment. He has time and again supported shall issue concealed carry legislation, saying explicitly he will sign it as governor. His support for the Second Amendment is so well known, even the DEMOCRATS have made attack ads against Scott for SUPPORTING concealed carry legislation! Now, Mark Neumann said he flip flopped? Huh?
Rep. Scott Gunderson: “Scott Walker has stood strong for the rights of gun owners his entire career and any claims by Mark Neumann to the contrary are complete and utter lies. Scott Walker has also explicitly said he would sign shall issue concealed carry legislation as governor. I denounce the Neumann campaign for the increasingly negative tone of their campaign and for misleading the voters of Wisconsin about Scott Walker’s strong support for the Second Amendment.”
Sen. Dave Zien: “Gun owners and patriots know Mark Neumann’s attacks are ridiculous. I’ve been on the front lines with Scott Walker defending the rights of gun owners, including the right to carry. These attacks are hurting Mark Neumann’s credibility. I hope they are coming from his out of state staff and not from Mark.”
——————————————————————-
You have got to be kidding me. Mark Neumann is a shameful excuse for a Republican. His attacks and lies are so below what we Republicans expect in a candidate. Here is the real problem no ones really believes that Scott Walker is not pro gun. Give me a break! Mark: you are fooling no one. What you are doing is harming the Republican name. I am sure Barrett is LOL! I am so impressed that Scott Walker is taking the high road and not falling for this bait. Mark Neumann is baiting Scott Walker, he wants to have Walker come out and come down to his level and then accuse him of running a dirty campaign. Neumann is running the dirty campaign and will stop at nothing with his lies. Republican’s need to take a firm line and stop these lies and demand Neumann run a clean campaign. I don’t care who you support but the lies need to stop.
Planned Parenthood is at it again
Planned Parenthood will stop at nothing to accomplish their goal. Abortion is what is important to their goal. And how they accomplish it is something to look at. We all have heard of their unethically tactics and horrid stories.
Well here is one more story for the vault in what I hope is everyone’s distaste for such an organization.
I have a friend who’s uninsured daughter used the Planned Parenthood services for her routine testing and to get her birth control. Now don’t get me wrong I am not against birth control. I think it is a valuable tool for young people and those who are not wanting or finically responsible to have children. I do not think abortions should be your birth control. Killing innocent children is not birth control.
Now this young person in Milwaukee went to Planned Parenthood on Wisconsin Ave and got a shock of her life. When she left the lady at the counter gave her what she thought was her bag of birth control. When she got home it was much much more. In her bag was the morning after pill, not just one but 4!!!! Now my young friend age 23 is a courageous pro-lifer just like me, just like her mother and just like a very large portion of America. She was “horrified”, she stated she “felt violated”. She had not even know they gave it to her. They just put it in her bag. The morning after pill also know as the abortion pill is of much debate. Do not foget this pill is designed to kill a fertilized egg. Hello that is life! Now the jaw dropped young girl did what you might expect those pills are floating somewhere in the Milwaukee River. The morning after pill is not birth control it is an abortion pill.
Term limits
So there is alot of talk about term limits in Congress and Senate. I ask you one question, do we really want to limit someone like Paul Ryan, Jim Sensenbrenner? With term limits we really limit our ability to gather the experence that is needed in Government. Elections matter people if you don’t like someone get them voted out of office.
WI Same Day Registration with Election reform
Wisconsin Republicans are pushing to get rid of same day registration with election reform. The idea is you have 7 days prior to election day to register. If you are not registered than you can not vote. Now I agree that there is a lot of fraud and that in it self is a real problem. But Republicans are taking this up at the wrong time. Please don’t get me wrong I agree with getting rid of same day registration but not right now. There is a real problem that needs to be fixed first.
In the last election cycle WI went to an electronic system and in the process of that move there was, to say the least, problems. Some voters got pulled all the lists! People who had been voting for years and years no longer was registrated. There was a simple solution, re-register with photo ID. No problem right?
Wrong, if you went to banning same day registration those people would be denied their vote. So what is the solution? Untill this qlich is worked out having on hand the old voter list. We can not deny people the right to vote when they don’t know there is a problem. Yes this is a fairly small problem but anyone who is being denied the right to vote unfairly is a problem. Research shows your voting population is mainly(not all) age 45-70ish, do we really want to push these people away?
WISGOP Daily Update
Peter Theron press release
VAT trial balloon will lead to ballooning spending
Peter Theron, candidate for the Wisconsin 2nd Congressional District, took aim at an Obama-administration trial balloon suggesting enacting a value-added tax(VAT), ostensibly to pay down the deficit. Theron stated, “The money generated by a VAT would not go to reducing the deficit or paying down our debt. Whenever any level of government gets a new source of funding, spending levels are immediately increased. The result is always more spending, never deficit reduction.”
“Looking to Europe, we see that VAT is a very effective way of crippling an economy. The VAT mechanism hides the amount of taxation in the price of goods. It transfers large amounts of revenue from the private sector to the government. This starves the private sector of income. Countries with VAT have chronic problems with unemployment.” Theron continued.
“Our debt is so large and our entitlement programs are so expansive, that we cannot tax our way to solvency. The only way that we can return to a government that our grandchildren can afford is to reduce spending and reform entitlements. The sooner we start, the less painful the change will be.” said Theron
If the Administration desires to increase revenue, the proven course is permanently extending the Republican income and capital-gains tax cuts now set to expire in January 2011. When they were enacted, these tax cuts promoted economic growth and tax revenue grew. If they expire, the higher rates will inhibit economic growth and tax revenue will shrink.” concluded Theron.
Peter Theron’s website is: www.theronforcongress.com
Supreme Court Justice
With Supreme Court Justice Stevens retiring the question, of course, is raised who will replace him. A lot of you are asking yourself this question and with good cause.
Lets review the current administration and see what is in store for us. Our current admin has given us lots of clues. (in no particular order)
Passing unconstitutional legislation to take over our health care to include but not limited to take away not only the rights of the patient but the rights of physicians who are treating them. Also taxing the wealthy to pay for it, redistribution is what this is called, not constitutional.
A president who stated when asked, when a does life begin: states that it is above his pay grade. (and now wants to appoint someone who will make that decision) also speak against a bill that would have recognized premature abortion survivors as “persons.”
Appointing unconstitutional czars to the administration.
Our dear president when as a director of the Joyce Foundation, he steered $15 million to the self-described “most aggressive group in the gun control movement?” That group published a book entitled, “Every Handgun is Aimed at You: The Case for Banning Handguns.” Also “I am not in favor of concealed weapons,” Obama told the Pittsburgh Tribune. “I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations.”—really?!!!
The take over of private business AIG GM Chrysler
Interpreting the Constitution as a “living, breathing” document. The only way to make the Constitution take a breath occasionally is to amend it. The Constitution limits government, and to expand government, that expansion must be appropriate under the document
So how do you feel about Obama choosing our next Supreme Court Justice? Yeah I didn’t think you like it one bit at all!
Dear Eric Odom
I am sincerely sorry I have sent you several messages. My theme was messed up and I figured out my problem on my own. I look forward to blogging in the very near furture!
where the heck am I
This page does not show I have no idea why
Lawton not running for WI Gov
Well I guess Lt Gov Lawton decided not to run for WI Gov. Oh well Walker would of wiped the floor with her. Oh I was so looking forward to that. On another note his greatness Obama stated he wants the mayor from Milwaukee Tom Barrett to run. Hmmmm I wonder if one has to do with ?another? But right not the dems don’t have a candidate. They better get on it, they are going to be pretty far behind in fundraising. Or not……….
Half staff flags
So we all know that Sen Kennedy from Mass died last week. However when someone dies there are certain rules to abide by. When a president dies there are most certainly respectful traditions that the country does. WE DO NOT FLY OUR US FLAGS AT HALF STAFF FOR SENATORS! Only if the president calls for it. And we most certainly do not fly it in states he is not even from! I live in Wisconsin and if I see one more half staff flag I am going to scream. What does it say when you fly a flag at half staff for a murderous senator for another state?
