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.

In a victory few thought possible just a month ago, Republican Scott Brown defeated Democrat Martha Coakley Tuesday in the race for the U.S. Senate seat formerly held by Ted Kennedy — a win that could grind President Obama’s agenda to a halt and portend unexpected losses for Democrats in the November midterms.

Washington was waking up Wednesday to a new Senate make-up, one featuring Republican Massachusetts Senator-elect Scott Brown, who defeated Democrat Martha Coakley in a victory few thought possible just a month ago.

The race for the U.S. Senate seat formerly held by the late Ted Kennedy is a win that could grind President Obama’s agenda to a halt and portend unexpected losses for Democrats in the November midterms.

In his victory speech, Brown declared that he had “defied the odds and the pundits,” and said he would try to be a “worthy successor” to Kennedy.

“Tonight, the independent voice of Massachusetts has spoken,” Brown said. “This Senate seat belongs to no one person, no one political party. … This is the people’s seat.”

With nearly all precincts reporting, returns showed Brown leading Coakley 52-47 percent, by a margin of 120,000 votes. Independent candidate Joseph Kennedy was pulling 1 percent.

The victory marks a stunning upset in a race thought to be safe for Democrats until Brown’s campaign began to surge just weeks ago. Even Brown appeared a bit in shock by his victory. Visibly giddy during his remarks, Brown went script and at one point offering up his daughters to the dating circuit — and later he earned supporters’ laughter by flubbing his campaign pitch line, “I’m Scott Brown. I’m from Wrentham. And I drive a truck.”

Brown’s victory has powerful ramifications for Obama’s agenda. The GOP state senator, once sworn in, will break the Democrats’ 60-vote, filibuster-proof majority in Washington. This creates problems for proposed legislation ranging from financial regulatory reform to cap-and-trade.

But most immediately the win sends Democrats into a scramble to pass health care reform before Brown arrives in Washington. Democrats were already weighing options for how to fast-track the bill before polls closed Tuesday.

Brown blasted the health care bill in his victory speech and urged the Senate to seat him as soon as possible. But a schedule for Brown’s swearing-in was up in the air on Tuesday night.

“The people of Massachusetts have spoken. We welcome Scott Brown to the Senate and will move to seat him as soon as the proper paperwork has been received,” said Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin said he would notify the Senate on Wednesday that Brown had been elected.

Tonight was a victory for Conservatives and a statement to the Washington Establishment: Conservatism is America’s choice.  It is not enough, however, to say one thing to get elected and do something else in Washington.  Senators, Congressman, and even the President witnessed history tonight and they are afraid ~ very afraid.

Republicans, Independents, and Democrats ~ consider yourself warned: “the people elected you and you work for us.  If you don’t listen, we’ll vote you out of office.”  This election has given energy to the already awaken giant. This Conservative movement is alive and continues to strike fear into the far left and the moderate right.

The GOP has determined to return to its principles and bring forth candidates that reflect those principles that made the GOP the right choice.  Tonight we have won a great victory in the battle.

However, “do not underestimate the power of the Dark Side” ~ Darth Vader

Liberals look to undermine the people’s voice in Massachusetts and across America by either stalling the installation process or by passing the bill some other nefarious way.  Let your Congressman and Senator know today ~ that will cost them their job!

Yes, we are excited that Scott Brown won in Massachusetts.  But November 2, 2010 is coming to Wisconsin soon and we have a lot of work ahead of us. Will you join with Wisconsin Conservatives to bring real change to our state and country in November?
