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 ...

VOTE FOR DEMOCRACY, NOT DICTATORSHIP
Noticeably absent in the speeches at the RNC was any mention of Project 2025, obviously shielding us from the true horrors of this project until after the election in November when a second Trump administration could put it in place. Project 2025 Mandate for Leadership, also called the unitary executive theory, is a 900-page guidebook created by an umbrella coalition of conservative think tanks including the Heritage Foundation. Although Donald Trump has claimed he doesn't know anything about Project 2025, many of the authors of this mandate were operatives in the Trump ...

Frog Song, Earth Song and the Rights of Nature
Late in the afternoon, about three months ago my wife and I were given the opportunity to time travel right here in Central Wisconsin, and we took it. Time machines are stashed here and there in these parts, though to most they would look like a pond, or a small wetland, or even the little pockets of water that dot the woods each spring. I had just put away my ax after splitting some of next winter's firewood when we set off down the road. We had barely gone a hundred yards when we unexpectedly stepped through a kind of science fiction portal into a soundscape around two ...
Environmental Impact of Project 2025
The Republicans have a plan – called Project 2025.-- to make many drastic changes to the federal government if they win control in November. Last week I discussed the basic agenda to dismantle or weaken many federal government functions and services (“Project 2025 is on the ballot” June 6, 2024). In May I talked about their plans to restructure federal taxes (“Taxes are on the ballot in November” May 16, 2024). This article discusses their plans to change the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and environmental protection.

No Choice?
I’ll be 77 in a few months. Supported Democratic candidates my entire voting life. Over half a century.
An oft repeated phrase now stands out to me as I think about how politics have evolved in America over
so many years: “The lesser of two evils.”
Since the 1996 presidential election, after Bill Clinton had begun abandoning working Americans in favor
of Wall Street during his first term in the White House, I feel have been voting for the lesser of two evils
for the Oval Office. It has become painfully clear after almost 30 years of doing so, that voting for ...
