After 42 years of District Caucuses, without an elected Republican in office, the 7th Congressional District welcomed freshman Congressman Sean Duffy to their Hayward meeting on March 19th.  The event was both a celebration of accomplishments over the previous year, but also a call to action to stay involved as we head into 2012.

President Obama and Democrats in Washington have continued spending at record levels pushing the United States to a $14 Trillion deficit.  Republicans seem to be the only ones willing to put the government’s financial house in order and the leadership is going to have to come out of the Republican controlled House of Representatives.

Democrats want to simply maintain the status quo in hopes that the budget will balance itself.  Their answer is to hold spending at its current levels, but that is simply not sustainable and will be a disaster for the country.

Kirk Anderson, from the Wisconsin 7th Congressional District, interviewed Scott Walker, Candidate for Governor at the 2010 State Convention in Milwaukee.  Scott Walker received overwhelming support from the delegates at the convention and received the endorsement of the Wisconsin Republican Party.

Scott was asked to comment on the economic situation in the state and the deteriorating  business climate.  With the news that Polaris Industries will soon be closing their doors, Scott Walker reminds us that tax increases are bad for business and job creation comes from lowering the cost of doing business, not burdening businesses with more taxes.

Welcome to the 7th Congressional District of Wisconsin’s 2010 Caucus.  This year was packed full of candidates and attendees.  There is definitely excitement brewing within the 7th District as conservatives get energized to retake America at the polls in November 2010.

As a result of the Caucus, delegates voted to endorse Congressional Candidate Sean Duffy of Ashland to run against Dave Obey of Wausau.  Dave Obey, a Liberal Democrat, has been in the Congress for over 40 years and is the self proclaimed author of the Stimulus Bill.  His authorship of the stimulus bill is debatable, but we do know that Dave loves to bring a lot of Pork home around election time ~ but only shows up for photo ops before being wisked away back to the safe environment of Washington (where he doesn’t have answer any questions about his actions).

The election of 2o1o is going to be a major project for candidates and local parties. We urge each citizen to get involved as much as they can. Elections take time and money and victory isn’t going to come cheap. Donations of money are great, but time and hard work are just as important.

Please consider volunteering for someones campaign. Will you get involved?  November 2010 is coming soon!
