Our Chairman Richard Church submitted this Letter to the Editor to the Adams-Friendship Times Reporter, regarding the deplorable behavior by local Democrats during the Adams 4th of July Parade.

To the Editor:

It appears that some local liberals have decided to stop fighting FOR the children and start fighting AGAINST the children…  or at least against the children of Republicans.  The Adams County Republican Party participated in this year’s July 4 parade in Adams-Friendship with a pickup truck decorated with the signs of Republican legislators, all of whom were favored overwhelmingly by Adams County voters in the last election.  In the back of the truck, a group of children tossed out candy to parade-goers.

Apparently a few liberals thought this was outrageous that the local Republican Party should participate in the parade.  They booed and yelled at the children, and some even threw things at the kids.  In fact, the behavior by a few of these liberals was so deplorable that the 4-H T-Shirt Committee has now decided not to include the Republican Party sponsorship on their 2011 Fair T-Shirts, lest the children wearing the shirts face the same kind of ridicule.  It’s sad that liberals have decided to influence the community, not through discussion of the issues, but through fear and intimidation.

It seems that some liberals just cannot stand the fact that the state has rejected the Democratic Party and chosen more conservative leadership.  Since they cannot convince their friends and neighbors to vote Democrat, they’ve decided to turn to bullying tactics to make people afraid to express support of Republicans.  This kind of behavior is not acceptable in our community.

When I heard of Democrats dressing up like zombies and disrupting a Special Olympics ceremony in Madison, I thought “That must be some sort of Madison fringe group.  That kind of thing would never happen here.” I am disappointed to see that even here in Adams County, liberal Democrats would stoop to throwing things at children to express their political views. Apparently it’s not enough for Democrats to spend away our children’s future, they have to ruin their Independence Day Parade as well.  As the Democrats have become fond of saying, “Shame!”

This activity also demonstrates how morally and philosophically bankrupt the Democratic Party has become.  While Democrats speak optimistically of upcoming elections, they know that the tide has changed.  Throwing things at children does not speak of confidence, but of insecurity. Wisconsin voted overwhelmingly Republican in 2010.  They confirmed this tide change with the election of David Prosser to the Supreme Court. And most liberals fear that the state’s citizens will once again confirm this tide change in the upcoming recall elections.  In the last two years, Wisconsinites have spoken loudly in favor of smaller government, less spending and lower taxes.

And the liberal response to the clearly stated will of the people is…  zombie protests and bullying children, both against people who have nothing to do with the political process.  If this is the best that the Democrats can do, Wisconsin certainly has a bright conservative future.

I ask all Adams County residents to stand up against this kind of bullying.  If you see it, confront it.  Make it known that, no matter what happens in Madison, we do not accept that kind of behavior toward children in our community.  I also call on the local Democratic Party leadership to join me in condemning all politically-motivated bullying of children, whether Republican or Democrat.

And for those of you in the 14th State Senate District, the strongest way to condemn this behavior is to vote for Luther Olsen in the recall election on August 9.

Sincerely,

Richard Church
Chairman, Adams County Republican Party

Liberals in South Carolina would like to welcome Mitt Romney to the Palmetto State, and thank him for his tireless support of liberal policies throughout his career. In fact they recently made him a video praising his work as governor in Massachussets.

“Out of all the liberals from Massachussets, you’re our favorite.”

Perhaps someone can say why Romney is supposedly the “front runner” for the 2012 GOP nomination, when he’s about as RINO as you can get? Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up!

Here Scott Noble speaks about the Julie Lassa Recall effort he’s heading up. Julie Lassa is one of the “Wisconsin 14″ who fled the state in an attempt to stonewall Governor Walker’s Union bill. Lassa holds the Senate seat in WI Senate District 24, which covers parts of Wood, Adams, Marquette, Waushara, and Portage Counties.

You know what to do.

Brilliant, ha!

Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.), a Tea Party favorite, has boxed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) into a corner. After a quiet day of quorum calls and speeches, Reid abruptly adjourned the upper chamber Thursday and postponed votes until Monday. According to numerous Hill staffers, Paul deserves some credit for the impasse.

Here’s the back story: On Wednesday, Paul, with little notice, attached an amendment to the small-business re-authorization bill. The amendment, which chastises President Obama for his actions in Libya, urges members to adopt the president’s own words as “the sense of the Senate.”

To make his point, Paul quoted, in the legislative language, from Obama’s 2007 remarks on the subject: “The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.” According to Paul’s office, “the measure aims to put the Senate on record affirming Congress as the body with constitutional authority on matters of war.”

GOP sources tell National Review Online that Paul’s proposal flummoxed Reid, who does not want his members to have to weigh in on Obama’s dusty quote about congressional authority, even if the vote is only to table the measure.

….

“Paul’s Libya amendment has brought the Senate to a standstill because Reid doesn’t know how to handle it,” one GOP aide tells me. “If he allows a vote, Democrats are forced to either disagree with then-senator Obama or with President Obama. It’s possible that Reid just yanks the bill or files cloture, seems he may do anything to avoid a vote on Paul’s amendment.”

When Prosser was a district attorney, a Catholic priest was accused of improperly touching two boys in their home — running his hand across their chests, but nothing more. Creepy, yes, but probably not prosecutable. With no more evidence than that to go on, with one witness refusing to testify, and with the family not keen on sending its young children to the witness stand in a case in which it would be practically impossible to prove a serious crime had been committed. Prosser, with the family’s agreement, declined to file charges. reported the incident to the diocese and asked that the priest be removed.

Long after Prosser was out of office — 14 years, in fact — further accusations against the priest came to light: accusations of which the prosecutor had known, and could have known, nothing. For this, the union-backed Greater Wisconsin Committee accuses him of conspiring to protect pedophiles from justice. That is a shameful libel — even Politifact, generally hostile to Republicans, gave the claim a low rating on its Truth-O-Meter.

Even the boys in the case denounced the ad as the exploitative fraud it is, and one averred that he’d vote for Prosser. But what is the suffering of exploited children when there are union dues on the line?

When you’ve lost the election, lost the vote in the legislature, and don’t have the law on your side, lies, invective, and blunt force — the Left’s main weapons in Wisconsin — are what you have left. Expect to see a lot more of them deployed.

The Greater Wisconsin Committee is preparing to throw $3 million into the judicial election to defeat Prosser — not because it is feared that he will fail to administer the law impartially, but because it is feared that he will. To that end, Wisconsin Democrats are working to install one of their own on the court and, if the GWC ad is any indicator, they are prepared to do just about anything to win. Because of legal restrictions, Prosser cannot solicit contributions to aid his campaign under this onslaught. But you can help his campaign by helping the Wisconsin Club for Growth (donate here) or donating to Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (donate online here; fax donation form here).

It is important that conservatives nationwide make this campaign their own. What is at stake in Wisconsin is not just one piece of legislation or one bill restoring a measure of sanity to the state budgeting process. The question to be answered in Wisconsin is: Who works for whom? Do the public employees work for the citizens, or are the citizens mere cattle to be disposed of at the pleasure of the bureaucrats and their union bosses? Every arrow in the quiver — court cases, judicial elections, recall, lawsuits, lies, libels, and brute thuggery — will be thrown at this case, along with lots of money derived from the union dues that state and local governments helpfully deduct from their employees’ paychecks on the unions’ behalf. Wisconsin may seem an unlikely battleground, but a line must be drawn, and this is the place to draw it.

Nice!

A Wisconsin Rapids lawmaker is tackling his first major piece of legislation by introducing a resolution to eliminate the offices of state treasurer and secretary of state.

State Rep. Scott Krug, a first-term Republican, began circulating the joint resolution Wednesday for sponsorships on behalf of fellow GOP member and newly elected State Treasurer Kurt Schuller.

“One of the things I campaigned on was cutting state spending,” Krug said. “No level of government is immune from cuts. … Everything is open to discussion.”

The proposal, which would require a constitutional amendment, must pass both the Assembly and the Senate in two consecutive sessions with no changes. After that, it would become the topic of a statewide referendum during which voters would get to decide whether to eliminate both, only one or neither of the offices.
