Women’s March 2024 Marshfield
Saturday before the election, dynamic speakers talking about what they have seen happen to women through the lens of their professions as attorneys, and as nurses. This was followed by a march, and Marshfield does it up nicely with a robust crowd. The event left everyone energized and ready to go out and talk to voters.
CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS FAMILY FARMS
Monsoon like rainfall flooding fields delaying planting. Or summer drought causing crop failure.
Or extended periods of extreme heat. Or winters without sufficient snow cover to protect your alfalfa crop.
More farms needing to switch from a dairy economy to “who knows what”, we may soon no longer be the “Dairy State”.
Yes. Climate change/global warming is real, and it will greatly impact our agricultural community.
While Republicans sit with their heads in the sand hoping it will all just go away. And it won’t!
Who is trying to ameliorate that ...
Republicans against Trump
“...another four years of Donald Trump’s chaotic leadership, this time focused on advancing the dangerous goals of Project 2025, will hurt real, everyday people and weaken our sacred institutions.”
This quote is from a statement signed by 238 former Republican officials and campaign staff going back to the George H.W. Bush administration. They are urging Republicans to vote for VP Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz.
Fostering division is one of the primary results of Donald Trump's actions and bombastic demagoguery. His angry, hateful, racist and destructive fear ...
Are Trump and Tiffany on Your Side?
Here’s a question for my fellow 7th CD citizens: Are Donald Trump and Tom Tiffany really working for you? Are they really on your side? Let’s look at some recent words and actions from these two candidates and decide.
Trump’s line
Trump said he hopes the U.S. economy crashes before the election so he can blame Biden and (he thinks) get back in the White House. Does an economic downturn, and all the suffering it would bring, help you?
Trump said he’ll be a dictator on day one of his hoped-for second term to prosecute, imprison, or even execute anyone he ...
U.S. Senate Race
MAGA Republican Senate candidate Eric Hovde claims that Tammy Baldwin has done nothing good for Wisconsin during her 20+ years in Washington. Yet if he’d spent more time here instead of garnering consecutive “most influential individual” honors from the Orange County (CA) Business Journal, he might know about the dozens of awards for excellent work that Baldwin earned from groups ranging from the US Chamber of Commerce, Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation, and International Dairy Foods Association to the American Public Health Association, Disabled American ...
Vote for the Climate and Against Ignorance
This month, the Southeast has faced two devastating hurricanes. Not only are families forced into shelters, but entire communities have been wiped from the map. And the road to recovery will be long, arduous, and uncertain. Our hearts should go out to all the victims.
Yet the science is clear, that human-caused climate change is making these storms more severe. We experience stronger, longer, and deadlier weather phenomena than ever before, even here in Wisconsin with more extreme flooding, drought, wildfire smoke, and inconsistent snowfall. This has a bona fide ...
We Need a Serious Leader Like Kyle Kilbourn
Those of us who live in northwestern Wisconsin desperately need a serious leader who understands the challenges we face in the 7th Congressional District. We need a leader who will bring fresh, energetic leadership to Congress.
Kyle Kilbourn will be that serious leader. He is the candidate we need to elect this November.
Kyle Kilbourn will work to keep our air and water clean. The incumbent representative, Tom Tiffany, does the opposite. He consistently opposes conservation measures and environmental protections. For example, he has voted to cut spending for ...
Social Security and Scary Looking Postcards
Wisconsin’s GOP recently flooded our mailboxes with scary-looking postcards claiming that Kamala Harris’ “amnesty plan for illegals” will destroy Social Security and Medicare. First off, providing “amnesty” would mean pardons for illegally crossing the border and granting legal status, and VP Harris has no such plan.
Secondly, while both programs may be unable to pay full benefits within the next 12 years (Social Security in 2035 and Medicare in 2036) without reforms, undocumented workers are actually helping keep these programs afloat, since ...
These Candidates are Better Choices for Moving us Forward
Living in the southern end of Sawyer County, I see lots of signs for Trump and other Republican candidates. I believe there are better choices for the good of people in our area, namely Kamala Harris for president, Tim Walz for vice president, Tammy Baldwin for U.S. Senate, Kyle Kilbourn for the 7th Congressional District, and Jeanne Bruce for the 74th District Wisconsin Assembly seat.
These progressive candidates support policies that will benefit all of us in Sawyer County. These candidates are committed to protecting our environment and ensuring we have clean water. ...
