<br />
<br />
I cringe whenever I see who is lurking behind the doors of schools, churches, government institutions and the like across our nation. It's especially disturbing when the media points the <b>naughty finger</b> at our fine state of Wisconsin, the 'home' of FFRF.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
FFRF has <b>tried </b>to oust our God, the God of the Bible, His Son - Jesus, and all things Christian:<br />
<br />
They have intruded on:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>School prayer.</li>
<li><br /></li>
<li>Graduation prayer.</li>
<li><br /></li>
<li>Prayer before school sports games.</li>
</ul>
<br />
FFRF has removed:<br />
<ul>
<li><br /></li>
<li>Crosses.</li>
<li><br /></li>
<li>Fishes (Ichthys).</li>
<li><br /></li>
<li>Bibles.</li>
<li><br /></li>
<li>Ten Commandments.</li>
<li><br /></li>
<li>Religious music</li>
</ul>
<br />
Even in this grand state of Wisconsin we have seen the attempt to blot out God in the rotunda of our State Capitol at Christmastime.<br />
<br />

So, while I'm not proud of the shenanigans of FFRF across our faith-based nation, rich with religious history, I am confident in this:<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

According to WI state law, your local public school can yank your kid aside and interrogate them for something they "suspect" they were involved in, and they don't have to ask your permission to do so, thankyouverymuch.<br />
<br />
Since when does sending our children to a public school mean we hand over our parental rights? Last time I checked, it doesn't.<br />
<br />
Read this story over at <a href="http://iratetirelessminority.blogspot.com/2013/09/calling-all-wisconin-parents-and.html">Irate, Tireless Majority</a>, then urge...no....<b>very strongly request</b> that your Senator sign on as a co-sponsor to this bill that will protect your child, preserve your parental rights/authority, and stop the abuse of "in loco parentis" in a government institution. And call Senator Joe Leibham's office while you're at it and THANK HIM for authoring this common-sense bill that defends both parents and children.

Brilliant.<br />
<br />
It really is as simple as that.<br />
<br />
Marriage is marriage; one man, one woman - united, procreating, ordained by God.<br />
<br />
Marriage is not subjective. We don't suddenly change right to left, and left to right. (What would the Democrats ever do?) <br />
<br />
Please stop trying to make marriage something it isn't, wasn't meant to be, and cannot conform to.<br />
<br />
Call same-sex "unions" something else. Just leave marriage alone.<br />
<br />

<br />
I regret (not really) to inform you that you <b>do not </b>represent me. You <b>will never</b> represent me. It's not that you don't want to, it's just that you <u><b>can't</b>.</u><br />
<br />
You see, the time you spent as a Congresswoman in Wisconsin has left a legacy of values. These are values that <b>do not</b>, <b>cannot</b>, and<b> will not</b> reflect my own, and this holds true for nearly half of all Wisconsin's families. Your so-called "win" is actually the absolute disenfranchisement of nearly half of Wisconsin's voting citizens.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><u>You voted for abortion that uses</u><a href="http://votesmart.org/bill/13212/34842/3470/prohibiting-taxpayer-funding-of-abortion#.UJpzO4fEbjI"> taxpayer money</a>, <a href="http://votesmart.org/bill/7641/21248/3470/prohibition-of-chemically-induced-abortion-amendment#.UJp0a4fEbjI">even if it means a physician use chemicals</a> to do the deed. You voted<a href="http://votesmart.org/bill/3344/11772/3470/abortion-pain-bill#.UJpzcYfEbjI"> against any provisions</a> that may disclose that babies feel pain when they are murdered in the womb. <b>You do not value life.</b></li>
<li><u>You voted for <a href="http://votesmart.org/bill/3273/8234/3470/same-sex-marriage-resolution#.UJp81IfEbjI">gay marriage</a></u>. <b>You do not value Wisconsin's families, let alone our<u> nation's</u> families.</b></li>
<li><u>You voted</u> to <a href="http://votesmart.org/bill/3393/7972/3470/child-interstate-abortion-notification-act#.UJp0AYfEbjI">allow minor children to hide an abortion from their parents</a> and obtain them in another state. <b>You do not value parental authority, and you do not value children.</b></li>
<li><u>You voted for <a href="http://votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/3470/tammy-baldwin/37/gun-issues#.UJp4gYfEbjI">gun contro</a></u><a href="http://votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/3470/tammy-baldwin/37/gun-issues#.UJp4gYfEbjI">l</a>. <b>You do not value our Constitutional right to protect ourselves.</b></li>
<li><u>You </u><a href="http://votesmart.org/bill/12747/33604/3470/prohibiting-use-of-federal-funds-for-planned-parenthood#.UJpyZ4fEbjI">voted for using government funds (my money/our money) for Planned Parenthood</a> - the largest known national abortion provider. <b>You do not value our finances.</b></li>
<li>You voted for the <a href="http://votesmart.org/bill/13922/36927/3470/amends-patient-protection-and-affordable-care-act-to-prohibit-abortion-coverage#.UJpovIfEbjI">forced provision of contraception and abortion under </a>the Affordable Health Care Act. <b>You do not value religious liberty. (see above)</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
One thing you are -- is consistent. For that, I commend you. You make it very clear where you stand, what your values are, and who you represent. It isn't me. And it isn't <a href="http://fox6now.com/election-results/">nearly 50% of all of my fellow Wisconsinites</a> or their families.<br />
<br />
So when you give speeches that say you are representing me, know that I disagree, vehemently. In fact, I would go so far as to say it is an outright falsehood.<br />
<br />
You said, "<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/wisconsins-baldwin-becomes-first-openly-gay-senator-032558256.html">I didn't run to make history</a>." I respectfully disagree.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IByX10g7wjE&list=UUeX20-rTnN46DUD6C7IplWg&feature=plcp">You stated</a>, "..and I am well aware that I will be the first openly gay member..." (3:45)<br />
<br />
You <b>did</b> make history - you said so yourself. <b>Who you have sex with is your platform</b>, and this you cannot deny no matter how many times you may insist it is not. (Please don't make me list your GLBTQ involvements.)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IByX10g7wjE&list=UUeX20-rTnN46DUD6C7IplWg&feature=plcp">You said, </a>"Now, I know that many of the people listening to this speech tonight may not have voted for me. but I want you to know that I will stand up for you, and I ask you to work with me..."<br />
<br />
My response to your request is one word - <b>no</b>. <br />
<br />
You see, Tammy, I won't compromise what I believe in. I won't allow someone who consistently takes a stand against those very core issues that built this nation to sing me a victory lullaby with promises that they cannot keep. You <b>are unable</b> to "stand up for me." You <b>do not believe what I believe</b>. It's just not possible. Your vow to do so is a misrepresentation - and a lie.<br />
<br />
But thanks for the mention.<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
<br />
The Other Half<br />

We witnessed many, many servicemen, young and old, representing all branches of service. We were humbled by their presence and honored to be the recipient of the freedom that comes with sacrifice. Vintage cars, military vehicles, new 'vettes passed by. Elected officials walked, waved and lent time to honor this day of remembrance. <br />
<br />
And then there was the lone recaller......<br />
<br />
An older man riding a three-wheeled bike. <br />
<br />
He had a large sign across the back of his cycle that read "Recall Walker."<br />
<br />
Shame.<br />
<br />
A true spoiler to a solemn and honorable event. <br />
<br />
Who let this happen? <br />
<br />
Here are a few pics of those who served, along with a "thank you" to all military personnel, past and present.<br />

Disses Homemakers and WOMENIn this <b><a href="http://bit.ly/MaCD1e">SPOOF</a> </b>done to rebut a comment made by Sen. Fitzgerald by his opponent for the 13th District, Lori Compas (whose claim to fame is getting names on recall petitions and delivering boxes to the Capital), the "average housewife" is given the appearance of a brainless idiot. Of course, to be sure we understand a housewife's role, Compas herself appears in the starring role wearing pearls, an apron, a dress, and carries a duster. To Compas, it seems, that's the iconic look of the stay-at-home woman. She couldn't appear to have been hard at work on something like, oh, the family taxes, or the household budget, or wiping a kids' puke off the floor, or taxi'ing children to events, strategizing future family investments, or the like. I suppose this was Compas's idea of passing off humor; However, this is an epic FAIL with regard to the message she is sending to women who work at home. I am not talking about women who have jobs outside of the home that they are able to perform within their home setting, I'm speaking of women who work full-time right within their own domains, children or no children. Compas's appearance in the skit of a <b>housewife-bimbo </b>tells us that she clearly believes the only way she could get her message across to Fitzgerald was by slashing and burning one of her own kind - <b><span style="font-size: large;">a WOMAN</span></b>.<br />
<br />
While using her two children (wearing T-shirts labeled "union thug" and "protest junkie") to aid in sending a sad message of disdain toward another human being while disrespecting housewives everywhere (shame), Compas implies that she did not need her husband in order to initiate and run a recall. <br />
<br />
Let's test that message out...<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://ericcompas.com/2011/12/visualizing-recall-signatures-for-scott-fitzgerald/">HERE</a></b> you can witness her husband, Eric (an <a href="http://facstaff.uww.edu/compase/">Asst. Prof. at UW-Whitewater</a>) helping out his wife with "analyzing the distribution of signers [recall signatures]." He generously "tweets" this information out as well <b><a href="https://twitter.com/#!/thegeographer">HERE</a></b>.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://ericcompas.com/2011/12/scott-fitzgeralds-campaign-contributions-not-from-the-13th/">HERE</a></b> is Eric's map of campaign contributions for Scott Fitzgerald, and, interestingly, <b><a href="http://www.loricompas.org/page/2/">HERE</a></b> is Lori's statement that coincides with the findings on his map. Hmmmm......<br />
<br />
Eric signed his wife's recall petition <b><a href="http://images.iverifytherecall.com/images/sf/sf000001.png">HERE</a></b>.<br />
<br />
Lastly, Compas clearly needed her husband (and even her children) to pull off an offensive campaign slur in a youtube video skit. Guess she's really NOT in this alone after all, is she?<br />
<br />
Wonder Woman, she ain't.<br />
<br />
Now, let's put Fitzgerald's comments BACK INTO CONTEXT. (Compas's disingenuous attempt at twisting Fitzgerald's words is so poorly orchestrated, it's more transparent than cellophane tape.)<br />
<br />
What <b><a href="http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/govt-and-politics/elections/senate-recall-challenge-by-compas-is-giving-fitz-fits/article_fa31b11e-9c43-11e1-b492-0019bb2963f4.html?mode=story">Fitzgerald actually said</a></b>:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>For the record, Fitzgerald said he doesn't buy Compas' Pollyanna image. He knows some people are painting the race as a David-vs.-Goliath contest. But Fitzgerald said he thinks her husband is one of the main forces behind her campaign, as well as unions and protest groups.<br />"I don't for one minute believe she is the organizing force behind this whole thing," he said.</i></b></blockquote>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small; line-height: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">What the average voter can easily understand from this: She is backed by others such as unions, special interest groups (she is endorsed by Planned Parenthood and FAIR Wisconsin -a pro gay group), and<b> her husband, Eric, a teacher,</b> who organized a protest walk from UW-Whitewater to the Capitol to hand-deliver a message from the UW-W teachers opposing the Budget Repair Bill. (As an aside, both of Compas's parents are <a href="http://www.loricompas.org/issues/">retired schoolteachers.</a>)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small; line-height: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Fitzgerald's comments are legit. Her husband clearly has a stake in his wife's endeavors. To say he is not a driving force is to deny the obvious. </span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small; line-height: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Compas gets a thumbs down for items too numerous to mention. </span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Last, Compas clearly needs to be held up by "somebody." If you go to her "listening sessions" <b><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_4XMtjAnsw">HERE</a></b> and <b><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYW4Oeu-rAA&feature=related">HERE</a></b>, you will find Compas stating that she knows little of the issues concerning her district or the state, and that she is there to "listen." She gives no indications of her position on anything, and for all one can gather from these sessions, she is pro-Cottonelle and anti-Charmin, which isn't telling you much.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Compas should stick to photography. At least it doesn't involve misleading the general population of her district. And everyone smiles at you.</div>West Bend Citizen Advocatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16674336754911157020noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342364914875572105.post-56081413688059924642012-05-08T07:30:00.003-05:002012-05-08T07:30:24.297-05:00Vote today!

What's YOUR District's Rating?Our West Bend School District received a "D" for lack of transparency with information concerning:<br />
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>TAXES</b></li>
<li><b>MEETINGS</b></li>
<li><b>CONTRACT</b></li>
<li><b>AUDITS</b></li>
<li><b>PUBLIC RECORDS (ouch!)</b></li>
<li><b>BACKGROUND CHECKS (double ouch!)</b></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
Unfortunately, this is the norm across the board. (Only four districts receiving anything higher than a D.) If our kid came home with a report card that had D's in every subject, justified it by saying it's what everyone else got, that wouldn't sit well, would it? Same goes for this report card. We can do better. We <b>should</b> do better.</div>

Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch </a></b>who is facing a recall election alongside Governor Scott Walker. <br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, who faces a recall in June along with Gov. Scott Walker, said Wednesday that the election’s outcome will send a message to the country, noting, “What happens in Wisconsin has potential to affect every state in this nation.”<br />
“We’re a harbinger. We’re a canary in a coal mine,” Kleefisch said on Fox News. “Because what happens in Wisconsin has potential to affect every state in this nation whether Wisconsin voters choose to go forward or backward, back to the failed policies of the past that got us in the budget crunch that we fixed in the first place.”<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">I really liked Kleefisch's reference to the "canary in a coal mine." This statements describes the "allusion to caged canaries mining workers would carry down into the tunnels with them. If dangerous gases such as methane or carbon monoxide, leaked into the mine-shaft, the gases would kill the canary before killing the miners.<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 13px;">" (Wiktionary)</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 13px;"><br />

My mother made it faithfully and her mother's recipe is now carried on through generations. My daughters are both adept at the art of breadmaking, and we are blessed with delicious products from our kitchen. Made these homemade yeast rolls tonight in honor of my Mom. Not too many families practice yeast bakery in their homes in this day and age. Be inspired!<br />
