Grothman Responds to Doyle's Raw Milk Veto

Oh No! Say It’s Not True –

Doyle Vetoes Raw Milk Bill

It’s Appalling Wisconsin Takes the Lead

in Declaring War on Fresh Milk

Today, Senator Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) expressed outrage that Governor Doyle vetoed Senate Bill 434, a bill designed to provide a legal formula for selling raw milk in the State of Wisconsin.

“While the sale of unpasteurized milk was technically illegal in the State of Wisconsin, the Department of Agriculture did not enforce this ban until last year. For the Dairy State to take the lead in banning sales of raw milk while California allows the sale at retail stores is infuriating,” said Grothman.

“My heart goes out to the hundreds of people who have been advised by doctors, chiropractors, and nutritionists to drink raw milk for their problems who now will have to suffer,” said Grothman. “Most farmers drink raw milk themselves and many give raw milk to their employees and relatives. They know it’s healthier. Whether it’s arthritis, allergies, stomach disorders, or obesity, raw milk’s the way to go. Hopefully, we can find a way to make this legal again soon.”

The fact that agribusiness and the State Medical Society weighed in shows that enforced conformity and a lack of freedom is becoming accepted in America.

It’s important that all consumers of raw milk -- as well as freedom lovers in general -- weigh in strongly with elected officials who will be sworn in next January.

Gov. Doyle signs Sex Ed Bill into law TODAY - Grothman blasts DOYLE

Grothman Blasts Governor Doyle for Signing Bill to Sexualize Wisconsin’s Minor Children

Planned Parenthood Stands to Profit

Madison: Today, Senator Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) blasted Governor Doyle for signing Planned Parenthood’s Sex Ed Bill, Assembly Bill 458, into law.

“I would think the vast majority of Wisconsin parents would not approve of their children’s friends being sexually active in middle school,” said Grothman.

“Sadly, Governor Doyle today signed a bill requiring Wisconsin’s school districts to teach sex education without showing any bias toward sexually active pupils,” said Grothman. “While this non-judgmentalism may be typical of Planned Parenthood which currently supplies contraceptives to 15 year old girls and boys without their parents’ knowledge or consent, it is scandalous to impose their libertine values on other people’s youth.”

The bill also continues the recent trend to centralize local K-12 school curriculums. “Parents must re-double their efforts to monitor what their children are taught in the government schools as the government attack on religious values continues,” advised Grothman. “State law permits parents to opt their children out of offensive classes and local citizens to serve on their school’s Advisory Committees.”

Grothman did get a minor victory by amending the bill to force local school districts to instruct students about the criminal consequences of early sexual activity. Planned Parenthood had tried to keep local school districts from informing Wisconsin’s children that it is a felony to have sex with someone under the age of 16.

Day at the Capitol Huge Success

Yesterday's "Day at the Capitol" held by Eagle Forum was met with huge success and the attendance of over 65 Eagle Forum supporters, youth to seniors. The morning began with a teaching session by Sen. Grothman's staff that walked the group through the different stages of a bill and explained the importance of lobbying. Sen. Grothman, 20th Senate District, surprised the group with his arms full of Racine Danish Kringles, and welcomed questions and answers before heading off to a Senate Education Committee hearing.

The group attended the same hearing which encompassed two bills, one of which was AB25. You can read about this hearing by CLICKING HERE. This was followed by a tour of the Capitol and a delicious lunch prepared by Eagle Forum vice president, Joan Tatarsky, and other EF leaders and attendees.

The afternoon session of the "Day at the Capitol" began with two informational sessions. Eagle Forum of Washington County president, Ginny Maziarka, discussed AB458/SB324, the Healthy Youth Act (sex ed bill), while Eagle Forum of Wisconsin president, Dottie Feder, shared information concerning opting out of the governmental health care reform.

Representative Rich Zipperer, 98th Assembly District, spoke to the group and fielded a large number of questions that ranged from financial issues to personal insight for the next year.

The afternoon was wrapped up with time spent writing letters of opinion concerning specific bills in the legislature, then hand-delivering to offices within the Capitol.

WHEDA spends $1400 on...FLOWERS?


After calling out WHEDA (Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority) on the proposed expenditure of $1400 on flowers for a Christmas party, Sen. Glenn Grothman receives the following letter:

(CLICK TO ENLARGE)




Sen. Grothman's response:

Friends,

Some of you have been wondering what happened to my request that the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) not spend $1,400 on flowers at this year's Christmas party.

Of course, they shouldn't even have had a party at a total cost of over $10,000. In the correspondence I received from Antonio Riley, the Executive Director, they were defiant. They went ahead and spent the money. They felt that since they had given out money to various housing-related charities that they were entitled to spend $1,400 on flowers.

Quite frankly, this amazes me as I felt that they would just quietly not buy the flowers. I am sure there are many employees around the state that work hard at their jobs not getting flowers for Christmas because of it. I'm sure this matter will be discussed further at the next WHEDA Board meeting. Of course, it raises the question if there is such a lack of common sense on such a minor bill for $1,400, it is probably true that lack of common sense is also being displayed on larger matters involving hundreds of thousands of dollars.
