…We have lost a few friends recently who have said they proudly voted for Trump and don’t want to hear a dissenting view. We are experiencing a level of dishonesty —“hate is love” , “War is Peace” , ” Guns equal safety” that it cannot be cheerfully ignored.We are past the point of being polite in the presence of intolerance,
The chicken has become a symbol of Trump’s unwillingness to release his tax returns. Is he chicken? November 18, 2017 was a Nation-wide protest against the Tax Bill. Here in Wisconsin the protest began in Fond du Lac at the Veteran’s Park, moved to Sun Dial Square in downtown Oshkosh; next to Houdini Square in Appleton and on to Green …
I listened in to Tom McClintock’s telephone Town Hall Meeting on Wednesday night and was in the cue to speak when he ran out of time. He was very candid and I left him a good audio message. He was unsure how he would vote saying he liked the business side of the tax bill but not the personal income …

The Dog doesn’t have a plan.
Unfortunately, neither do the Republicans when it comes to governing the country. Like a dog barking and chasing a car, they spent eight years criticizing everything others tried to do without ever having a plan of their own. They know how to bark but not how to govern. To date their major achievements have …
Until Jerry and Penny come back to the area, I’ll be trying to get more involved in Democratic events and relay what I discover. I’m new to this activism, been fairly comfortable just letting things happen – but no more! What is in our White House now is horrific! Every belief I have is being trampled on and ridiculed all …
The Democratic Party needs a coherent message if it expects to win elections.
That message must speak to what we need in America.
What we need are more good paying jobs. The best anti-poverty program is a good paying job. The best family friendly policy is a good paying job. Vibrant communities are built on families having enough income to …
