Interview with Tim Pawlenty on Sean Duffy Endorsement

April 8th, 2010 |

Author: Wis7GOP

April 7, 2010

I interviewed Tim Pawlenty after he stepped off the set of the Sean Hannity show at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Sean Hannity shot his show after the the Michele Bachmann ~ Sarah Palin Rally in Minneapolis, MN.

Michele Bachmann kicked her re-election campaign with Sarah Palin, who electrified the crowd with her speech.

Tim Pawlenty also revved the crowd up as he asked, "have you had enough?" getting a loud "YES!" back from the over 11,000 people in attendance.

Both Sarah Palin and Tim Pawlenty have endorsed Sean Duffy for the US Congress seat currently held by Dave Obey.

Dave Obey has been in Congress for over 40 years and is the self proclaimed author of the failed stimulus package and proponent of the unconstitutional health care reform package the Democrats rammed through congress in March 2010.

It’s a Culture of Crisis…Not a Health Care Crisis!

April 3rd, 2010 |

Author: Wis7GOP

Pictured below is a young physician by the name of Dr. Starner Jones. His short two-paragraph letter to the White House accurately puts the blame on a "Culture Crisis" instead of a "Health Care Crisis".. It's worth a quick read:

Dear Mr. President:

During my shift in the Emergency Room last night, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient whose smile revealed an expensive shiny gold tooth, whose body was adorned with a wide assortment of elaborate and costly tattoos, who wore a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and who chatted on a new cellular telephone equipped with a popular R&B ringtone.

While glancing over her patient chart, I happened to notice that her payer status was listed as "Medicaid"! During my examination of her, the patient informed me that she smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and somehow still has money to buy pretzels and beer.

And, you and our Congress expect me to pay for this woman's health care? I contend that our nation's "health care crisis" is not the result of a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. Rather, it is the result of a "crisis of culture", a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on luxuries and vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. It is a culture based in the irresponsible credo that "I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me".

Once you fix this "culture crisis" that rewards irresponsibility and dependency, you'll be amazed at how quickly our nation's health care difficulties will disappear.

Respectfully,

STARNER JONES, MD

ACTION ALERT: Wisconsin Election Laws Under Attack

April 1st, 2010 |

Author: Wis7GOP

Friends,

Faced with plummeting poll numbers, Democrats are

pushing a scheme to dramatically alter Wisconsin’s elections by passing sweeping changes to our elections laws at the 11^th hour. Assembly Bill 895 and Senate Bill 640, introduced last week and given a public hearing without so much as a cost estimate, were already rubber-stamped by Democrat committee members in both houses of the legislature this morning. The bills are being fast-tracked for approval by the full legislature by the end of its session in mid-April.

Based on the strong opposition voiced at a public hearing yesterday, these bills require further vetting before moving forward—and full vetting certainly cannot happen with just days left in the legislative session. Take action today by telling your legislators to STOP attempts to sneak through election law changes!

In addition to a lack of widespread public awareness, these bills would:

Increase registration of ineligible voters with motor voter registrations
Make sensitive voter information available across state agencies
Make the absentee voting process less secure by implementing satellite voting locations
Restrict a citizen’s right to challenge an unqualified voter in a race with statewide importance
Permit reverse voter intimidation for legitimate election observers

All while failing to provide for voluntary or mandatory voter ID measures

Rushing through sweeping changes to Wisconsin’s voting laws should not happen overnight. It almost seems Legislative Democrats have been taking lessons from Nancy Pelosi on transparency, as this morning committees voted on these bills less than 24 hours after a public hearing ended, leaving little time for Republicans to draft amendments on significant and flawed legislation.
