Freedom From Religion Gets the BOOT in AZ
Heh.
Curtsy - CitizenLink:
A federal judge in Arizona ruled Monday that the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) does not have the legal standing necessary to stop Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer from declaring days of prayer for the state....FFRF, which is based in Wisconsin, filed its lawsuit last year. In dismissing it, Judge Roslyn Silver wrote that “encouraging” prayer isn’t injurious to anyone.

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!

STRACHOTA Stands UNITED with Washington County WALKER BACKERS
I attended the "Stand With Walker" rally in West Bend today. I believe it was organized by Jim Geldreich, chairman of the Washington County Republican Party. Local residents, members of W-C3, CSC, all rallied together and it was a fun morning! It was well attended, with over 100 people lining Paradise Drive. One thing was obvious throughout the two frigid hours we stood there on this sunny Saturday - WE ARE the 99%.
Took some pics and a video... Enjoy!
STATE REPRESENTATIVE PAT STRACHOTA

HONK IF YOU SUPPORT GOV. WALKER!!

Not-So-United Way, PLANNED PARENTHOOD = Direct Giving is Always Best
In this recent article in the West Bend Daily News (you'll have to scroll all the way down to the bottom for the article), United Way received a glowing report, encouraging local Washington County residents to give, give, give. Many, if not most, of the organizations supported by United Way are reputable and trustworthy. However, let's shed some light on reality.
United Way supports PLANNED PARENTHOOD. Click HERE if you don't believe me. Nationally, in 2008, United Way contributed an estimated $1.9 million to Planned Parenthood. Additionally, United Way donations to local charities refer women to family planning services that include abortion. The national United Way website (www.LiveUnited.org) also directs volunteers toward Planned Parenthood. While not every state/agency, or Washington County for that matter, promotes Planned Parenthood, many do. One is too many.
This Christmas season, let's not contribute to killing babies. I think it's in poor taste.
Yes, yes, I know that you can choose to "designate" where your donation goes according to whom you wish to support. However, don't be fooled. That option is a misnomer. If you "designate" to a specific charity, that just means less of the UNdesignated funds will go to that charity.
In addition, United Way will take some off the top for overhead, meaning LESS goes to the charity.
SOLUTION = Give DIRECTLY to the charity of your choice. Nobody needs a middleman to help us send a check.
Remember, too, that "time is money." If you can't afford to give, maybe dropping in at the location of your favorite charity and lending a hand would be a great option for you, and a blessing to them!

Walker Administration Holding Hoodlums Accountable for Mess
Though the hoodlums, er, I mean, protesters/Recallers/thugs/slobs that have been defacing our State Capitol, leaving behind garbage, odors, food products, profanities, and bathroom facility unmentionables are angry over this decision, Walker's people have it right. As of December 16, if you make the mess, you get to clean it up or pay for those who will do it for you.
Hey, Recallers....OWN IT.
READ ENTIRE ARTICLE HERE:
The Scott Walker Administration says it will tighten access to the Capitol starting December 16th, requiring permits and payment from protesters.
