What will it take?
In Washington, D.C., Republicans fight tooth and nail against anything that will ward off the impacts of climate change, including voting AGAINST the Inflation Reduction Act.
In Madison, Wisconsin they make sure it’s more difficult than ever to discuss the ...
Decency is on the Ballot
“Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people – does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us.” Gen. Jim Mattis, Trump's Defense Secretary 2017 to 2019.
This election is essentially about decency. As a nation will we return to a modicum of civil politeness and decency in our political discourse, or will the Trump inspired anger, ugliness and division be the future of our country?
The contrast between the two presidential candidates on their basic human decency – who they are, how they behave ...
Snyder Fails to Deliver for Democracy
Representative Pat Snyder's campaign commercials (85th Assembly district) claim that he "always delivers." In one of the most fundamental ways possible, Snyder has failed to deliver for the people of his district, and the state as a whole.
In a representative democracy, the people control the state legislature. Their votes will matter, and the makeup of the legislature will reflect the people's priorities. In a partisan gerrymander, a political party controls the legislature regardless of the will of the voters. Under Wisconsin's extreme partisan gerrymander, it ...

Immigration Successes
With Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign underway, the GOP is accelerating its lies about her
work as Vice President. Though responsibility for the southern border rests with the
Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services, they call Harris a failed
“Border Czar,” deliberately mischaracterizing her early presidential assignment – to address the
root causes of migration – while obscuring her accomplishments.
As the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on 6/12/24, VP Harris’ 2021 “Call to Action” has
triggered major ...
For the Water
Where do you go to find over 17,000 lakes, 86,000 miles of rivers and streams, 5.3 million acres of wetlands
and 650 miles of Great Lakes shoreline? Don’t go anywhere! Stay in Wisconsin!
Healthy water is one of Wisconsin’s greatest assets. By protecting our water, we protect the health of our
people, our economic interests, our recreation and our wildlife. Protecting both surface and ground water is
smart money management. It costs less to protect our water than it costs to clean contaminated water.
Healthy water for the whole state ...
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 ...
