Voting/Elections
Will We Survive
Nicholas Kristof is a Conservative columnist for the New York Times.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/30/opinion/gaza-harris-trump.html
In his article, “Don’t Let Liberal Purity Elect Trump,” Kristof lists the dangers if Donald Trump is elected.
I will summarize Kristof’s main points.
“So to those so upset about Bidens’ policies in the Middle East that they are thinking about voting for Trump, staying home or voting for a third-party candidate-I understand. But don’t allow this anger to elect Trump, for that would amplify the suffering abroad that ...
Getting Over The Woman Thing
“Cause if it's the woman thing it's time to get over that...It time to be a man and vote for a woman.“ Sam Elliot, actor
“Most women know the story. She’s overqualified for the job. He isn't qualified at all, but it’s still a contest. Can you see any man having been district attorney, state attorney general, U.S. senator, and U.S. Vice President but being told HE isn’t qualified?” My sister, who has considerable experience with sexism in business.
“The Man's Prayer: I am a man, I can change, if I have to, I guess,” from the Red ...

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.
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 ...
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. ...
