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 ...
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 ...
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 ...

WALZ VISIT TO WAUSAU
For those who are not on Facebook, here are a few photos from Governor Tom Walz visit to Wausau on September 13, 2024. What an honor it was to be selected as a driver in the Walz motorcade!! I transported the national press. I have seen motorcades before, but I cannot even begin to explain the thrill of driving in one. It is amazing to see the work of the secret service. I cannot say enough about their thoroughness and commitment. The precision is astounding. We lost track of how many times our vehicle and our person is checked, wanded and sniffed by the dogs.

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...
