					<description><![CDATA[Originally published in the Wisconsin Examiner on February 10, 2022 Today’s Republican Party, with the exception of Mitch McConnell — who, god help us, is now the GOP’s voice of reason — appears to have given up on the idea of representing mainstream voters.

Looking back to an article from NPR in April of 2019 (then) President Donald Trump called former President Jimmy Carter to seek his advice on China and express concern that [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Agriculture is the foundation of all civilization. Without the rural farms, and the small rural communities that support agriculture, there would be no cities. But agricultural areas have seldom enjoyed rewards commensurate with their importance. They are usually among the poorest areas of any state. Wisconsin is no different.

Business as usual has failed them and we won’t be silent anymore. What’s best for business and the Chamber of Commerce hasn’t trickled down to poor, low income, working class, and people of color.
