Replacement for Reilly Sought by Doyle

Watching and waiting.

Gov. Jim Doyle is seeking applicants for appointment to the Waukesha County Circuit Court judicial vacancy that will occur Aug. 1 when Judge Paul Reilly moves to the District 2 Court of Appeals.

Applicants must be members in good standing of the Wisconsin State Bar and must live in Waukesha County at the time of the appointment. Applications are due June 10 to Libby Gerds, appointments director for the governor.

Reilly was elected in April to serve a six-year term as an appellate judge. Whoever is appointed to succeed him would face re-election next spring.

Grothman Responds to Doyle's Raw Milk Veto

Press release from the office of Sen. Glenn Grothman:

Oh No!  Say It’s Not True – 

Doyle Vetoes Raw Milk Bill

It’s Appalling Wisconsin Takes the Lead 

in Declaring War on Fresh Milk

Today, Senator Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) expressed outrage that Governor Doyle vetoed Senate Bill 434, a bill designed to provide a legal formula for selling raw milk in the State of Wisconsin.


“While the sale of unpasteurized milk was technically illegal in the State of Wisconsin, the Department of Agriculture did not enforce this ban until last year.  For the Dairy State to take the lead in banning sales of raw milk while California allows the sale at retail stores is infuriating,” said Grothman.


“My heart goes out to the hundreds of people who have been advised by doctors, chiropractors, and nutritionists to drink raw milk for their problems who now will have to suffer,” said Grothman.  “Most farmers drink raw milk themselves and many give raw milk to their employees and relatives.  They know it’s healthier. Whether it’s arthritis, allergies, stomach disorders, or obesity, raw milk’s the way to go. Hopefully, we can find a way to make this legal again soon.”


The fact that agribusiness and the State Medical Society weighed in shows that enforced conformity and a lack of freedom is becoming accepted in America. 


It’s important that all consumers of raw milk -- as well as freedom lovers in general -- weigh in strongly with elected officials who will be sworn in next January.

Appling vs. Doyle - Today's interview with Pat Snyder/Tom King

Julaine Appling's lengthy interview with Pat Snyder from WSAU concerning the lawsuit against DOYLE regarding statewide domestic partnership registry.

LISTEN HERE!


_________________________________________

"The domestic partnership registry is substantially similar to marriage", Appling stated in her interview.

As a state, "we passed that amendment (one man/one woman) to our state constitution."

She further said, "Here's the governer putting a provision in the budget that is essentially an end-run around the will of the people and the constitution."

"It creates a new legal status for couples of the same sex..."

Registration provisions are exactly the same legal requirements as marriage requirements, so the reason for the suit is justified as unconstitutional.

"This isn't about equal protation. This is about preserving the institution of marriage."

I applaud Appling's fine interview today and her firm and knowledgeable platform for this interview.
