GAB Posts Scanned-In Recall Petitions

The GAB (Government Accountability Board) has begun to post scanned-in Recall petitions by district.  So far, Senate Districts 13, 21, 23 and 29 are done.  You can check out the process and review the petitions HERE.

NEWS AND NOTES: EAGLE FORUM 1/13/2012

SUPREME COURT ISSUES UNANIMOUS DECISION FAVORING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. Chief Justice Roberts wrote the unanimous decision stating: the "authority to select and control who will minister to the faithful is the church's alone." If an antidiscrimination lawsuit attempts to interfere with such matters, the First Amendment does not permit it to proceed."USAToday.com, 1-11-12.

 

WHEN WILL A NOMINEE BE CHOSEN? Not until April, according to some estimates. The new RNC rules allow for 2,286 delegates to be sent to the Republican National Convention; therefore, it will take 1,143 delegate votes to win the nomination. Several states were penalized half their delegates for holding their primaries too early: NH, SC, FL, MI and AZ. Until April, there will not be enough delegate votes to nominate a candidate. States awarding delegates proportionally will likely split delegates making it even less likely that any candidate can lock up the nomination earlier, as long as two or more remain in the race.

 

PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY'S IMPACT ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES; FORMER FEMINIST COLLEGE STUDENT WRITES A BOOK OPPOSING DAYCARE 20 YEARS LATER. "Around 1992," wrote May Saubier to Phyllis, "you came to Skidmore College to debate a former President of NOW.  I cannot remember this other woman's name, but I do remember yours.  I was knee deep in women's studies classes at the time and my friends and I could not wait to 'burn you at the stake.'  We did not consider your opinions might be worthwhile, so brainwashed were we into believing the feminist ideals we had been taught.  I recall a great deal of screaming, yelling and booing each time you spoke.  You remained poised through it all.  At the end of the debate, I got on a long line to shake the other woman's hand.  How I wish I had, instead, gotten on your line to shake yours. Your example will serve me well as I work to promote my recently self-published book, Doing Time: What It Really Means To Grow Up In Daycare. Please accept my apologies and keep up the good work," written with sincerity by May Saubier.

Walker Support in Baraboo - Thanks to PETE

This is Pete.  He's standing for Governor Walker in Baraboo today.  He spent time in Portage and other areas, as well.  Just doing what he does best.  Today he has received honks, thumbs up, people stopping by to say hello and hoping they could sign a support letter or something to that effect.  The overall response has been fantastic.  All Pete did was park his truck in plain sight with his banner of support.  We need more people like Pete.  :-)

National Popular Vote = Bad Idea

By Phyllis Schlafly:

Moving quietly under cover of presidential debates and the enormous publicity given to the race for the Republican nomination is a plan to change how U.S. Presidents are elected. It would bypass the procedure spelled out in the U.S. Constitution which has been used successfully for over two centuries. 

...

NPV is an attempt to achieve the longtime liberal goal of getting rid of the Electoral College. Instead of proposing an amendment that would first need to be passed by Congress and then ratified by three-fourths of the states (38), NPV is a scheme to deviously bypass the grand design of our U.S. Constitution

....

People who pretend that the Electoral College system is undemocratic are not only ignorant of the history and purposes of the U.S. Constitution, but they probably don't even understand baseball. Basing the election on a plurality of the popular vote while ignoring the states would be like the New York Yankees claiming they won the 1960 World Series because they outscored the Pirates in runs 55-27 and in hits 91-60. Yet, the Pirates fairly won that World Series, 4 games to 3, and no one challenges their victory.

Why the Super Committee Failed - HENSARLING

Via Eagle Forum:

The Wall Street Journal, Nov 22 - All now know that the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction has failed to reach an agreement. While there will still be $1.2 trillion of spending cuts as guaranteed under the Budget Control Act, we regrettably missed a historic opportunity to lift the burden of debt and help spur economic growth and job creation. Americans deserve an explanation.....Unfortunately, the committee's challenge was made more difficult by President Obama. Since the committee was formed, he has demanded more stimulus spending and issued a veto threat against any proposed committee solution to the spending problem that was not coupled with a massive tax increase.

......

Despite the president's disappointing lack of leadership, I believe my co-chair, Sen. Patty Murray, and every Democrat acted with honor and integrity and negotiated in good faith to the end. It was, of course, difficult to negotiate with six Democrats who, as Democratic committee member Jim Clyburn said on Nov. 13, "never coalesced around a plan" themselves. But I believe this failure was not due to lack of effort or commitment.

Ultimately, the committee did not succeed because we could not bridge the gap between two dramatically competing visions of the role government should play in a free society, the proper purpose and design of the social safety net, and the fundamentals of job creation and economic growth.

A great opportunity has been missed, but America's fate will not be sealed by the failure of a temporary congressional committee. Spending cuts will begin anyway in 2013, but in a manner many of us, including our secretary of defense, believe could fundamentally harm our national security. I am committed to ensuring that full deficit reduction is realized, but Congress must work to achieve these savings in a more sensible manner that does not make us less safe. 

As Winston Churchill said, "Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted." Despite my disappointment with the committee's setback, I remain confident that we will yet again prove Churchill right.
