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.

Less than a week ago, the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board (GAB), a non-elected board appointed by Governor Doyle, issued a new administrative rule that regulates and limits political speech and subjects violators to civil and criminal penalties.

The ruling is the most serious threat to our freedom of speech that I have witnessed in my lifetime.

I agree with my political opponent, Scot Ross with One Wisconsin Now, who said, “Under the new rule, now free speech becomes regulated speech.”

I can assure the members of Americans for Prosperity, the patriots of the Tea Party Movement, and members of all other liberty advancing groups that we take this action very, very seriously and we have our legal team exploring all options to respond to this outrage.

Thanks,

p.s. Vicki McKenna, the rock star of radio, did a show on this outrage. Click Here to hear her and James Troopis discuss the actions of GAB.

A reminder the 7th Congressional District, we aren’t the only District with a great candidate trying to win in November.  State Senator Dan Kapanke spoke about his campaign for Congress at the Wisconsin Republican State Convention in Milwaukee, WI.  Dan Kapanke is running for the 3rd District Congressional Seat for the United States Congress.

Republicans were honored to have Karl Rove delivered the keynote address at the Wisconsin Republican’s State Convention in Milwaukee, WI last month.  After an exciting day of endorsing candidates, voting on policies, and rallying the troops – it was refreshing to hear Mr. Rove speak with such clarity as he described the events happening in Washington D.C. since Barack Obama took office.

If you weren’t able to attend the sold out event, we invite you to listen to the audio below and please leave feedback.

Karl Rove served as Senior Advisor to President George W. Bush from 2000–2007 and Deputy Chief of Staff from 2004–2007. At the White House he oversaw the Offices of Strategic Initiatives, Political Affairs, Public Liaison, and Intergovernmental Affairs and was Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, coordinating the White House policy-making process.

Karl has been described by respected author and columnist Michael Barone in U.S. News & World Report as “…unique…no Presidential appointee has ever had such a strong influence on politics and policy, and none is likely to do so again anytime soon.” Washington Post columnist David Broder has called Karl a master political strategist whose “game has always been long term…and he plays it with an intensity and attention to detail that few can match.” Fred Barnes, executive editor of The Weekly Standard, has called Karl “the greatest political mind of his generation and probably of any generation… He knows history, understands the moods of the public, and is a visionary on matters of public policy.”

He was previously a member of the Board of International Broadcasting, which oversaw the operations of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty, and served on the White House Fellows regional selection panel. He was also a member of the Boards of Regents at Texas Women’s Union and East Texas State University.

Karl now serves on the Board of Trustees for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation and the Texas State History Museum Foundation. He is also a member of the McDonald Observatory Board of Visitors and the Texas Philosophical Society.

Watch the Wis7GOP interview with Lt. Governor Candidate, Ben Collins.

Ben Collins, a former Green Beret Commander and Afghanistan war vet, says his strengths include leadership. He currently owns and operates runs a successful business in Wisconsin and feels that a new Republican Governor is going to need a leader by his side.

Wisconsin continues to loose jobs and employers at a record pace and the a new Wisconsin administration will have an up hill battle to wage to try and bring new jobs and businesses into Wisconsin.

It appears that President Obama is waging his own war against Capitalism and business, by doing everything he can to destroy our nations economy.

Republicans are scrambling to find ways to thwart the progress of Socialism and Marxism spewing out of the White House and many are wondering if President Obama is actually, as many Conservatives Talk Show hosts are saying, collapsing the economy on purpose.

We need conservatives running our State and Federal government that believe in what the founders believed. Wisconsin needs a Lt. Governor that will stands for less government, lower taxes, and bringing business to Wisconsin again.
