November 16, 2010

Senate Republicans approved a two-year ban on earmarks today with just one Republican voting no. U.S. Sen.-elect Ron Johnson, a co-sponsor of the caucus resolution, was pleased the Senate GOP took this crucial first step to assure America that Republicans will follow through with the platforms they campaigned on. "During the campaign, I promised voters of Wisconsin that I would do everything I could to reduce the out of control spending that threatens America’s future,” Johnson said. “I fully intend to honor that promise."

Sean Duffy from the United States Capitol in Washington D.C.

The 7th Congressional District is proud to have Sean Duffy in Washington D.C. – representing Wisconsin instead of Washington D.C. representing him. He has promised to take Wisconsin values to Congress and to fight for our Country and honor the Constitution. Thank you for all the hard work getting so many Conservative Republicans elected on November 2nd. Now we get to work fixing what has been broken.

Voters Make Changes in State Leadership

November 11th, 2010 |

Author: Wis7GOP

Wisconsin voters went to the polls last week to decide a number of federal, state, and local races in the midterm election. The results showed a strong desire to change direction in public policy both in Madison and Washington D.C. towards initiatives that will have a direct impact on promoting job growth.

Voters chose Scott Walker to be Wisconsin’s new governor, while Ron Johnson was elected to the U.S. Senate. Two new U.S. Representatives were elected, Sean Duffy and Reid Ribble, in northern Wisconsin. Meanwhile, the State Legislature changed from Democratic to Republican control, with Republican majorities in the State Senate of 19-14 and in the State Assembly of 60-38-1.

Following the election last week, Senate Republicans met to elect new leadership for the 2011-12 legislative session that will begin in January. Governor-elect Walker stopped by our meeting to discuss his plans and priorities for the session, including calling the Legislature into emergency session after he is sworn in to pass legislation to promote job growth. The message sent by voters that jobs and the economy must be job one was heard by those that were elected on November 2. Enacting policies to encourage job creators to expand and locate in Wisconsin is the top priority of the State Legislature and Governor-elect Walker.

The State Legislature will also be charged with addressing the state’s budget deficit, which is currently estimated to be nearly $3 billion. After years of raiding funds, federal bailouts, and shifting spending to balance the state budget, there are no more easy fixes… Read more here.

Rebecca Kleefisch, Candidate for Lt. Governor

June 27th, 2010 |

Author: Wis7GOP

Rebecca Kleefisch, candidate for Lt. Governor, spoke to me at the State Republican Convention in Milwaukee, WI.

Rebecca has experience in marketing and media and was an on camera news personality in a major market. She exposed some of the political corruption in Madison by asking tough questions during her assignment as an investigative reporter.

As Lt. Governor, she believes she can help the Governor bring new business ventures to Wisconsin by using her marketing and personal relations skills.

She has an opinion on the business climate in Wisconsin and how it needs to be fixed. She scolds Rep. Dave Obey for voting for the tax increases that have help drive businesses out of Wisconsin.

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
