Sounding the Alarm!!
Retired General Mark A. Milley is sounding the alarm as to how dangerous Donald Trump has become. Milley served as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for more than a year under Trump and continued in that role during President Biden’s presidency.
General Milley served more than 40 years in the military and retired in September 2023. In a retirement speech, Gen. Milley laid out his concerns regarding Trump: “We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, to a tyrant or dictator or a wannabe dictator.”
“By the following year, Milley was receiving a ...
When Someone Shows You Who They Are, Believe Them (and Vote Accordingly)
Are we suffering from amnesia? Our climate is rapidly getting more perilous. Just look at last winter, when local economies had to grapple with lower-than-ever snowfall and higher-than-ever temperatures. And yet, Wisconsin is a dead heat in this year’s presidential election.
We need to remember. During his first year in office, then-President Trump withdrew America from the Paris Climate Agreement, joining Iran, Libya, and Yemen as the only countries to not ratify it. Two years later, Trump approved the Keystone XL Pipeline and approved rollbacks of offshore drilling ...
Ballot Box Rally
May this gathering serve as an example to any other city or town in this state, to let you know, we are watching. We see what you are doing. We will not stand for it. Making it harder to vote is out of touch with Wisconsin values.
Donning a hard hat and moving a ballot box is a political stunt. The Supreme Court handed down their decision, and no one is above the law. As citizens, we are holding people who do these acts accountable. We urge all other citizens to pay attention as well.
Our democracy is stronger when all voters can cast their ballots. ...

VETERANS FOR HARRIS
“As veterans, we have defended this nation with courage and honor; now we must defend it at the ballot box.” Jose Vasquez, U.S. Army Veteran and Executive Director of Common Defense.
No one and no organization speaks for all veterans. Those who have served in the military reflect a cross section of our society. Their social and political views are as diverse as any other sampling of citizens. We often stereotype veterans as being conservatives, but this is not true. There are many veterans with liberal opinions on many issues.
There are two nationwide veteran...
We The People
“Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world, red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight.” We sang this song in elementary school and Sunday School when I was a kid. To this day, I believe that each and every person is precious and has a purpose in life.
The Constitution states: “We the people.” This means every child/grownup has the right to live in a safe place, be free from discrimination, to learn, work, and contribute.
We are all immigrants!! The Indigenous people were the first to arrive. Look at the hate that was ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
