In light of recent statements by the Treasury Department and Ron Kind, Michael Krsiean has this to say regarding our current rate of spending and our debt levels, “As Ron Kind praises Obama’s budget Feb 2nd by saying, "This budget does exactly what we need it to do right now, takes the steps to help the economy recover, creates jobs and helps get Americans back to work," we are poised to raise the federal debt ceiling from $12.39 trillion to $14.3 trillion.
At the current rate of spending Mr. Kind and Obama advocate, the US Treasury declares we will reach the $14.3 trillion level by the end of this month!! That is 15.4% increase in just 28 days. We’ll pass this level before the House can approve it! With compound interest this rate of borrowing will go up exponentially. This during a time when they are telling us the economy is good. When it’s bad do we increase the debt 30% every month?
STOP THIS MADNESS! I call on our current high profile 3rd district professional politicians Ron Kind and Dan Kapanke to call for IMMEDIATE and deep cuts to spending before we hit a point of no return where we will not be able to make payments on our debt.
We are currently borrowing $68 BILLION a day for Ron to run around the district sprinkling about the fraction of our money that makes it back to us! If they keep this up our economy’s life expectancy is measured in months.
It is this type of irresponsible spending and borrowing that Ron Kind supports in spite of his ‘fiscal responsibility’ initiatives. Dan Kapanke advocates the status quo and the word ‘CUT’ isn’t in his vocabulary. Michael Krsiean has spoken out boldly for the need for deep cuts and department eliminations in our federal government; returning it to a size more representative of that which the founding fathers had in mind. Significant change is needed immediately! This is happening on their watch.”

Congratulations to Kapanke for Publishing Stances
In reference to Dan Kapanke finally officially publishing his political stances, Michael Krsiean has this to say, “I congratulate Dan on finally, after half a year into the campaign, being able to commit to positions and publically put them to the written word on his website.
As I read through Dan’s positions I am pleased to note that the citizens of the 3rd district will have very different candidates from which to choose their next Representative.
While Dan seems to have a hard time using the words ‘cut’, ‘defund’ and ‘dismantle’ in regards to the hugely overgrown federal government bureaucracy, those words are part of Mike Krsiean’s main objective declarations and commitments in running for this US House office. It is nice to see Dan follow my lead in developing a more and more fiscally conservative approach to his campaign, but more fiscally conservative development is needed….after all, he is a conservative, right?
I note Dan declares he won’t increase taxes in these hard economic times. I say we need to REDUCE spending and taxes in bad AND good times. Dan declares he wants to “Address the pending return of the Death Tax to 2001 levels” whatever that means, while I want to eliminate it. Dan wants to stop increasing the ceiling for debt. I want to decrease and then eliminate it. Dan wants to massage and keep the IRS, I want to slash spending and get the IRS out of our lives by going to a citizen controlled sales tax (FAIRTAX) with its prebate feature. Dan wants to “Reject Cap and Trade proposals that target farmers.” I want to reject Cap and Trade IN ITS ENTIRETY. And for the kicker, regarding healthcare reform Dan, like Ron Kind declares “Reform should target outcomes, not reward inputs that drive up costs”, thereby Dan sets the stage for government quality measures of physicians and government meddling between a doctor and the patient.
When it comes down to it, Dan is really continuing to advocate for unconstitutional and unacceptable levels of government intrusion into our lives.

How Can One Congressman Be So Wrong?
Wednesday night I attended what was billed as a discussion with Ron Kind on agriculture and dairy issues. Many farmers dialed in to listen, ask questions and express frustration over controlling government initiatives that Kind supports. What they got was a lot of chest thumping about different ways Ron is further increasing government intrusion into their lives and a hard sell on the Healthcare and cap-n-trade bills.
It appears something happened to Ron when he was elected and went to Washington. Maybe it’s all the flying that has swelled up his head. Maybe he bumped it getting into a Smart Car. Whatever it is he seems to think that we are merely the pawns to be controlled rather than the people he should be representing. Ron has forgotten that the reason he was sent to Washington was to authentically represent US, as one of US! He has no ears for farmer’s grievances. It is obvious that he arrives at these sessions with his mind already made up on the issues. It seems the only point is to make us think we are adding valuable input in a transparent attempt at just walking through the motions. Yep, Posturing Ron really has us fooled alright.
Let’s face it Wisconsin, Ron fought against the troop surge in Iraq. He has voted and continues to vote unwisely; for the TARP bailout, Stimulus Bill, Healthcare takeover, against energy independence, cap-n-tax, STILL believes in manmade global warming, wants the government to ‘help’ farmers more. Just how many times can one congressman be so wrong? And yet he STILL will not listen to us.
It is time for Ron to step aside. He shouldn’t even be running for re-election.

General Welfare; For the Nation or Individual?
According to Ron Kind, my incumbent democratic opponent, healthcare is important to general welfare, therefore government must get involved. Food, shelter, education, heat, electricity, water and air are of vital interest too. So I guess the Constitution also gives the Federal Government the power to control all aspects of these and supply us with what we need, right? Now, who amongst us thinks this is what the founding fathers had in mind? If healthcare is covered by the Constitution so is all the other stuff. If all the other stuff isn’t covered, then neither is healthcare. It’s a VERY slippery slope Wisconsin!

Republican Leadership Purity Resolution, Too Little Too Late
I read that a segment of Republican leadership is considering a Purity Resolution to help unify the leadership. To obtain their goal they will be attempting to stave off what will surely be solid resistance from the more liberal elements of the party. They will discuss it this winter in Honolulu.
How nice.
I’m not sure having a bunch of party leadership flying off to Honolulu is a wise choice considering the dire straits the Republic is in, the current state of the economy and frustration of the average Republican conservative who just gave up a few days of groceries to donate to the conservative cause. Will the conservative base be encouraged by leadership spending the donors grocery money or child’s school shoe money flying to Hawaii to discuss how, if you’re only for gun control and government funded abortion, you can still be included ‘under the big tent’ and get more party funding?
Explain to me again how this exercise will bolster the conservative confidence in Republican leadership. Please. I want to believe.
I searched the various definitions of political party on the web. Generally I came up with something like, “A group of people who are organized for the purpose of obtaining and using political power. The party develops a political platform that defines their ideology and sets out the agenda they would pursue should they win elective office.”
This definition does not come to my mind when I think of the current GOP leadership. The GOP leadership is not of unified ideology and they surely do not pursue anything. Over time the various iterations of GOP leadership have failed to mount a significant counter assault to return our Republic back to the more constitutionally conforming government that our founding fathers established. Even when in control of legislative and executive branches of government, they failed to execute lasting conservative reforms. At best they’ve been somewhat of a boat anchor to the socialists over the past 100 years, just slowing them down a bit here and there. Now the GOP leadership is dissolving at the seams, and the best they HOPE to muster is to obtain 80% minimum ‘purity’, if they can manage that. Purity in my book is NOT defined by the percentage of 80. My fellow Americans, I’m sure you feel the same way.
So where does a true conservative turn? You’re laying your children to bed at night and wondering what their future will be like. You wonder if you’ll be put out to medical pasture when your 65. You hurry to put out of your mind the subject of abortion, partial birth or otherwise, because no one in the GOP is willing to go to the wall to support your ideals. You’re challenged to predict what courage you will be able to muster WHEN ‘they’ decide we are too ignorant to own firearms. Well, move over. I’ve been there.
Like you, I am an average person working hard to make a living and pass something on to my kids. They have made that so impossible that in my frustration I decided to take things in my own hands and run for national office. The party I found most in agreement with my Constitutional, conservative ideals was the Constitution Party where the platform NEVER changes and is always focused on the Constitution with a faith in the wisdom of the Lord. Want a Wisconsin political attack animal that will fight on the House floor and media to restore a Constitutional Republic to your and my children? Elect me. Just once. Elect me.
As the Republican leadership toils and sacrifices this winter in Hawaii to achieve 80% ‘purity’ and continues to let Obama set the game table by reacting in opposition to “Obama’s socialist agenda” please consider this; give thought to what it might be like to support candidates that are your neighbors, are damned tired of this endless absurd game and will pro-actively lead to take back our liberty and Republic so our children can realize freedom beyond our wildest dreams….because liberty is not merely being able to select between the Government Option and a fine and/or prison time.

Healthcare Takeover - Full Scale Political War Declared on Every American
Full scale political war has been declared on all Americans by Ron Kind in the US House and now Kohl and Feingold in the US Senate. The amount of money they intend to brazenly steal from us with no commitment to provide ANYTHING for 5 years is mind shattering. They have completely ignored our demands to "STOP!" Elect me and other Constitutional warriors and we'll rip this soon-to-be-law off the books immediately.
They have thrown down the gauntlet. They are watching YOU and ME to see what we will do. For some reason they don't seem fearful of a backlash in 2010. That in itself is very curious. Will we rise up and do what needs to be done by cleaning dumping ALL these socialist weasels out!? The need is crystal clear. They all need to go in 2010.
I am here, ready and willing to do WHATEVER it takes to turn this country around and return back to Constitutional government. Will you send me? Will you help me get there via generous funds and volunteering? If not, expect worse, MUCH WORSE from the socialists because this was a trial balloon, they are watching. AND they have allot more up their sleeves if we continue to do nothing. The game is on. It is full scale political war against us and our families. Let's stand together, work together and TAKE BACK OUR REPUBLIC!
From the sounds of it the Senate version will tax us for the first 4-5 years without any benefits handed out. Annual cost estimated at $15,000 tax increase for each household. Part of the bill will actually FORCE us to be contributors to abortion funding via a specific itemized part of our 'premiums'. Medicare is slashed by tens of millions of dollars. This is a huge act of disrespect from government, towards Americans. I hope you will join with me to take back our government in 2010.
