Nativity Set is UP at the Capitol Rotunda

This is awesome!

Wisconsin Family Council has donated a beautiful Nativity set that is now present in the State Capitol rotunda, despite the objections from Freedom from Religion Foundation. Thanks to Julaine Appling for her persistence in pursuing this beautiful depiction of our Christian heritage and REAL reason for Christmas celebration!

Christmas Tree Lighting This Weekend at State Capitol

Invitation via Sen. Grothman's office:

CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING AT WISCONSIN STATE CAPITOL

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at your State Capitol as folks busily decorate the grounds in anticipation of all of the visitors that will be coming over the next several weeks! Remember Bing Crosby? -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcZAwoip5aY

The Capitol Christmas Tree will be lit during two performances of the Kiwanis Club Christmas Pageant at 4:15 and 5:15 p.m. this Sunday, December 4th. http://www.doa.state.wi.us/events_detail.asp?eventid=1147&locid=4

Come early as Tours of the Capitol run from 1-3 p.m. on Sunday.

P.S. How nice it would be if a Church, civic organization, business or family stepped forward and sponsored a Capitol Nativity like they have in other states.

PINK SLIPS delivered to DEMS at State Capitol

Seems these were handed out door to door at the Capitol yesterday.  They were also noted to be hanging in the elevators as, um, new decor?  I think pink looks good on Democrats, but hey, if the notice fits...

Yes, we are watching.
