On November 2, 2010 ~ Wisconsin declared loud and clear, “we are no longer going to be ruled by the status quo in Madison or Washington D.C.!

We all witnessed a historic midterm election that turned Wisconsin Red again.  With a Republican Governor, State Senate, State Assembly, Attorney General, and State Treasurer ~ we have the players in place to get Wisconsin back to work!

County Republicans worked very hard to elect an Assemblymen who would hold the line on irresponsible spending in Madison and bring the voice of the people who elected him, into the chambers of the Assembly to be heard.  We are honored to have so many Republicans elected on Tuesday.

The 7th Congressional District worked extremely hard to replace a 40 year Washington Squatter with a fresh Conservative and after decades of Pork, we finally did it.  We now have an opportunity to bring new energy and Wisconsin values into the House of Representatives.  Sean Duffy pledged do that for us.

Wisconsin made a good choice to remove Senator Feingold from office, because he didn’t represent the people of Wisconsin and their best interests and after 18 years in Washington, he could no longer convince the voters that status quo deserved another shot. 

We elected Ron Johnson as our next Senator and expect him to bring the leadership and innovation with him to Washington that is currently lacking.  We expect that he will fight for Wisconsin and stay clear of Washington insiders and Republican moderates; to be the fresh voice in the Senate.

We finally elected a new Governor and Lt. Governor who promised to make Wisconsin a business friendly place to live and play.  We look forward to a new climate that welcomes and encourages entrepreneurship and innovation in the business arena.

We voted for all of this and we have high expectations for all of them.  We gave them our vote ~ our precious vote ~ knowing that we had to trust them and believe the promises they made during their campaigns. 

We send them to Madison and Washington, believing that they will be diligent and steadfast in their devotion to those who elected them to office, knowing that they can and will be removed as quickly  as they were put into office if they compromise themselves and their convictions.

Congratulations to those who were elected on November 2nd, 2010!  We are proud of what we accomplished and have hope and faith that you will succeed in your new positions.

Get to know your candidates!

Sean Duffy, Candidate for United States Congressional Seat from Wisconsin, is facing Dave Obey, the 40 year political Goliath from Wausau, WI.  Dave Obey loves to brag about being the author of the failed Stimulus Package and was in the inner circle with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid fighting against Wisconsin to pass the un-Constitutional Heath Care Reform Bill.

Sean is a devoted conservative that wants to fight to bring Wisconsin values to Washington. He is the District Attorney in Ashland County and former Chairman of the 7th Congressional District Republicans.

The video below is from the 7th Congressional Caucus held on March 6th, 2010 in Wausau, WI.

After this speech, Sean was endorsed by the 7th Congressional District Caucus and is our Conservative Republican pick to face Dave Obey in November.  Please support the efforts of Sean’s campaign today

Dave Obey is not known for visiting the 7th Congressional District to listen to his constituents.  Typically, he gives little to no advanced notice when he does come into town and leaves as quickly as arrived.  For most people, all they see of their Congressman is a well placed photo in the paper.

Yes, Dave Obey loves photo-ops!  Take a look at the images below with Dave Obey and his Democrat cohorts. Everyone wants to be seen with the senior bearer of “free” gifts – standing next to a 4′ check delivering more Pork to his district – hoping to to please the voters enough to stay in office for at least one more term. And why not? It has been working for over 40 years!

So, who pays for all this generosity?

No, not Dave, nor Nancy Pelosi and certainly not President Obama. Non of these “generous givers” will be paying for the Pork that Dave hands out like candy…but someone has to, right?

Oh, yeah ~ you do, your family does, and your kids and their kids will for generations to come.

It is completely irresponsible. You can’t run your family budget like that and yet the Government seems to think that they can borrow, tax, and spend without penalty…enter the voice of the American people. The American people have spoken, shouted, and protested ~ but Mr. Obey and the rest of the Democrats in Congress aren’t listening!

They know what is good for you and you’d better shut up and pay for it!

On March 28, 2010, Dave Obey held a telephone “Town Hall Meeting” to discuss the Nationalization of Heath Care in America.

No, you won’t hear him describe it to you like that, but that is exactly what it is.

If you were like most of the 7th District who didn’t hear the “Town Hall Meeting” and would have like to have heard Dave’s explanation for his support of this un-constitutional bill (now law) ~ you may have been disappointed.

However, we’ve obtained a recording of the call (in progress) and have made it available for your listening education.

Understand, you will only hear more of the same talking points and spin put out by Democrats meant to get you to turn off your brains, shut up, get in line, and pull out your wallet.  Regardless, we feel that it should be everyone’s right to hear this information and make up their own minds.

Note, it is over 1 hr long and contains a series of pre-screened questions from both sides. It is un-edited and the audio quality isn’t great.

So, What Now?

Now is the time to act. Republicans, conservatives, moderates, liberals, democrats, libertarians, constitutionalists ~ and everyone else saw the problems with this un-constitutional health care law.

It was passed against the will of the American people. It is another example of the President’s lies about transparency and Dave Obey’s misunderstanding of simple math. Anyone who can balance a check book knows that this isn’t going to work.

It is time to retire Dave Obey.

It is time to put our shoulder’s to the plow and work hard to reverse the damage that has been done before it is too late. We need to understand that it doesn’t stop here. They are already onto the next agenda item  to “Fundamentally Change America.”  We must keep up the fight.

November 2010 is the way we do it.

America has a choice and we must make the right decisions and vote out the people who are bent on destroying our country. All across Wisconsin and the United States of America, there are elections that will be decided in November 2010. We can’t allow ourselves to rest until we have secured our freedom from tyranny and those who seek to take it away.

We need your help.

Will you help us defeat the Progressives in November? Will you help us protect our constitution, our freedoms, and our rights?

God Bless you and God Bless America!

Obey Serious: A War Tax?
Wausau Democrat Says When You’ve Got a Problem, Raise a Tax!

MADISON – With government spending and debt increasing at an accelerating pace and the nation’s unemployment over 10%, Wisconsin Congressman David Obey is suggesting a new tax in an attempt to stymie progress in Afghanistan.

“Not surprisingly, the first solution from Dave Obey is a tax,” said Mark Jefferson, Executive Director of the Republican Party of Wisconsin. “If you’re Dave Obey, why bother working to root out stimulus spending errors or even trim down wasteful government spending when you can just tax your way to paying for whatever you need–even if it’s to keep our nation safe from terrorists.”

Obey told media outlets earlier this week he would pay for increased troop levels in Afghanistan with a $900 billion new tax on “people who can afford it.”

Jefferson suggested Obey may be echoing the strategy of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel who said earlier this year, “You never want to waste a good crisis.”

“Most Americans want to see the situation in Afghanistan resolved the way our generals have suggested. Instead, Obey has turned the situation into one more excuse to tax,” Jefferson said.
